Vision Boards - Treasure Mapping and Achieving YOUR Dream Goals

Motivation and YOU.

2011-09-27T00:31:00.000-07:00

Motivation and YOU.

What motivates you? What gets you up and out of bed and ready to “seize the day?”

There are two basic motivation strategies:

2 motivation strategies either the Carrot or the Stick

Moving towards a goal - towards pleasure- the carrot
Moving away from a negative - away from pain - the stick

Neither one is right or wrong. It is just the way people are programmed. If it is a learned behavior or a natural preference, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you know what -

“Gets you going!”

Watch out for those people who say “Oh No”… you must be positive! Not necessarily so.

Yes it helps to have a positive expectation and as far as the law of attraction goes,

Like attracts like and what you focus on expands.

So watch out if you are running away from the negative please look at and focus on the pleasure that you are actually

running towards.

Too many people are backing into their future. They are walking away from troubles, problems and pain

and not turning around to see a bright and happy future.

If you are aware of your motivation strategy and it is a “move away from”then you can turn around … face the future

and move towards the pleasure, the vision and it will be easier to take your focus off the negative and turn

your back and move away from the negative and the pain.

Your Vision Board is the visual representation of a bright, positive and happy future. When you gaze at it,

when you meditate with it, when you focus on it… check in with yourself and ask am I happily moving towards this goal and dream or am I running away from a current pain.

When you do this you will feel your inner or core energy and your core motivator, you true motivation strategy.

It’s not good or bad right or wrong, it just IS… And what’s great is, now you have an awareness of how you work!

Socrates said “Know Thyself”

Whichever strategy you use to get yourself going, once you understand yourself -

You will be able to work with your Vision Board even more effectively.

Vision Board Success Tip - Creating Space.

2011-09-11T23:59:00.000-07:00

Here is a Vision Board Personal Growth Quick Tip from: 101 Vision Board Tips for Personal Growth (a new service I offer to my valued subscribers)

Creating Space.

Overwhelm, too many spinning plates,

so much to do… so little time,

so many projects, emails, phone calls...

Does any of this sound familiar?

Dr. Deepak Chopra said so many people just rush their lives away

and a futurist friend of mine (someone who studies society

and forecasts emerging trends) said “busy” is the new status symbol.

So many “time saving devices” have just enabled us to do more

and jam more activity into our already busy day.

A simple and yet really effective way to give yourself more space,

allow a feeling of freedom and to give yourself a “breather” …

is to CREATE space on your Vision board.

It may sound too simple, but simple works and the subconscious mind

the driver of your unconscious beliefs and habitual behaviors

will perceive the extra space on your board and you will be amazed

how the space will then start to appear in your life.

If you cant remove any “too busy” pictures from your Vision board,

try trimming the edges of the pictures you have and give yourself

the space that way.

Let me know how it goes....

Celebrating Your Success!

YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE?

2009-11-04T00:30:00.000-08:00

YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE?

Which one would you spend to:

have your dreams come true,
become a huge / overnight success,
have, be or do whatever you desire?

The #1 reason people don’t have what they want is because they don’t have…

a )enough time to invest

b) enough money to invest

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?

Most people you meet are willing to invest maybe one … but not both.

The most successful people in the world invest BOTH…

TIME AND MONEY!

They study, learn, grow and invest in their personal development and education

to become who they want to be and the best they can be,

… armed with knowledge and practical application and

a ”never give up” determination and passion to achieve exceptional results.

If you have limited time, then you can invest your money to get the best training programs and personal coaches to fast track your success.

If you have limited money, then you can invest in a home study training program and spend the time going through the proven exercises that are provided for you.

Either way if YOU choose a path and stick to it - you will succeed beyond your expectations.

“Your thoughts determine what you want, your actions determine what you get.”

Take action today … invest your money and hire yourself a qualified personal coach to fast track your changes and success, or purchase a self study program and invest your time … to become who you want to be and achieve your dreams!

Either way you will get what you want - all it takes is your commitment and your focused, continued actions.

“If you don’t believe in you - Who will?”

Vision Boards, energy and getting what you want

2009-10-28T23:23:00.000-07:00

Energy levels rise and fall…

Do you find… one day you are on top of the world feeling blissful and

then you hear some bad news and suddenly feel down in the dumps?

It’s normal. We are emotional beings with all ranges of emotions.

We have compassion for others and we feel happy or sad when

various life’s events occur.

How dull life would be with out these variations. Life is about contrast.

There is an old saying…

“ How would you know Happiness if you never felt sadness?”

I am sure you have heard many of these.

The trick is to allow the emotional swings without dwelling on the negative.

It is the worry, fear, guilt and remorse that grab us and take us spiraling

down into the abyss.

Many people think that in order to achieve their goals and dreams they have to

remain upbeat, happy, positive and impervious to emotions.

But I am here to tell you that when you practice your Mind Powers

either using a 30 Day Accelerator or some other form of journal discipline

and work with your Vision Boards consistently and regularly even

with the mood swings and reactions to life’s good and bad news…

YOU CAN STILL GET WHAT YOU WANT!

It is about discipline and developing habits:

What you do consistently, daily and regularly is what

will bring you your reality.

Yes, things that you want, will speed up when you stay in an anabolic

(positively focused) frame of mind.

But you would have to be a robot to not feel a little sadness when

you hear about sad events and people’s misfortunes and suffering.

To help yours and there energy levels

when bad things happen asking questions like:

“What is the benefit"

“What is the opportunity"

"If possible, is there anything positive about this event"

"What good could come from this situation"

There are always at least 2 sides to every situation

and we always have choices to grow toward our true and highest good.

I know that even though energy levels drop,

if you stay focused on what you want doing your daily practices,

imagining and celebrating the end result,

your reality will work out, if not better than you expect

certainly as good as you expect.

Create Your Vision Board - they work!

I have just co-authored a book with my friend Towanna Freeman.

7 Success Secrets for Vision Boards

2009-08-07T00:11:00.000-07:00

7 Success Secrets for Vision Boards

Start with the end in mind. Choose a poster board or a cork board to use as a background, color & size are all personal choice. These boards can be wallet size or wall size. Choose something that feels good to you. You will be looking at it regularly and you want it to generate “warm fuzzies.”

2. Why are you doing this? Decide what intention you have for your Vision Board. Is it a general life style goal or a specific goal. Then, flip through magazines and tear out whatever pictures and words impress or inspire you.

3. Arrange the pictures and words like “easy, healthy, happy, now, thank you” on the board with photos of you and loved ones in and around the scenes. This concept is to show your subconscious mind a "snapshot" of your desire future to activate the Law of Attraction.

a) If it's a relationship goal, you could get a picture of a couple embracing and cut your face out and paste it on the body in the photo.

b) If it is a physical goal & if you want to lose or gain a few pounds, choose a picture of someone you would like to look like and put a picture of your face on that body.

c) The same idea applies to houses, cars and vacation destinations; paste photos of your self and loved ones, in the picture, as if you were there and taking photos as you naturally would.

Add a powerful statement or affirmation that this is already so. eg: "This manifests now, for the highest good of all concerned, easily, happily, harmoniously, Thank you."

5. Put a symbol of what ever spiritual source you believe in, to show you are partners in the creation of your life, with a higher power.

6. Place the Vision Board somewhere where you will see it often, and only allow supportive people to see it, especially in the early stages.

To harness the law of attraction - Celebrate the Vision Board with a daily discipline of visualizing and affirming what you see on your board as already in reality…

… and “Act as if” you had your dreams and desires right now. This does not mean to “pretend” you have a million dollars and start running up the credit card.

Having faith does not mean, believing “it” will come and plunging further into doing the opposite.

It means living your daily life and “feeling” on the inside what it would be like IF you were currently living your dream life. It is an unnatural concept, but once mastered it will “warp speed” your attraction.

Finally Make SURE YOU feel good when you look at your Vision Board. If it gives you “that sinking feeling” - it could mean the goal is too big a stretch for your mind to believe it is possible for you. When it feels good and gives you spontaneous joy to look at, then you have a pwerful tool for attraction.

Have fun, with this process and enjoy your results.

7 Secrets to Success!

What you put on your Board is almost

as important as what you do to attract it!

If you want to attract your dreams quickly, practice these Law of Attraction,

Mind Power and Energy techniques listed below, for a minimum of 30-90 days:

Celebrate: Look at your Vision Board and celebrate it! Dance, jump around - do whatever you usually do to celebrate.

2) Gratitude: Imagine it is already part of your reality - Say and feel the words Thank you and exhale, relax, feel the relief!

3) Visualize: Make a mind-movie in full color and action. Employ all senses;vision, hearing, feelings, smells and tastes, use your powerful imagination, the sub-conscious mind doesn’t know the difference.

4) Contemplate: Sit quietly, appreciate it. Feel the satisfaction, joy, peace and wonderment as if this vision was true for you right now, release a sigh, tension is dissolved.

5) Create: Ask open ended empowering questions - If you feel resistance, doubts, fears - ask: “What would it (my life) be like if this goal really did happen for me?”

This allows the mind to relax and daydream, it stops the negative mind-chatter and releases the tension around the goal.

6) Use a Positive Affirmation:

This or something better manifests for me now, for the highest good of all concerned, easily, happily and harmoniously. Thank you. Universe (Source energy,God).

7) Have FUN!!! Make your Vision Board beautiful and experience complete joy and satisfaction while you create it, then consciously have fun 3 times every day.

Procrastination a challenge?Please forward to your friends today.

"Begin growing from where you are - not from where

others think you ought to be by now." - Steven Douglas Lawrence

****************************************

Is Procrastination - An Energy Drain?

Do you suffer from that dreaded and greatly feared word - procrastination? Does it drain your energy, worry or haunt you? Do you have a pile of things that you just cant get to or a “to-do’ list longer than your teenager’s telephone bill?

What is procrastination?

Procrastinating gets such a bad rap in our ultra high achieving, fast moving society, especially now that it seems everyone is an expert in the Law of Attraction. Many people do get “instant” results when they start using law of attraction principles and there are many more who just get frustrated.

But when we study the “over night success stories” we find out, that it can take these experts 20-30 years of focused work and dedication, many mistakes and some big lessons and course corrections, before the “tipping point” into success.

A dictionary definition and origin of the word, procrastination:

Delay or postpone action; put off doing something

origin: late 16th Century- latin - Procrastinate - deferred till tomorrow

verb: procrastinare pro = forward + crastinare = belonging to Tomorrow

From the dictionary origin - deferred or belonging to tomorrow.

Instead of “beating” ourselves up with a huge “procrastination is bad” stick, how about a simple reframe, gaining a different perspective and considering that maybe a particular activity is meant for TOMORROW!

Why do you procrastinate?

Many people actually delay in doing an activity due to fear of either success or failure, perfectionism or they just don’t know HOW to go about the task. Sometimes it is because they need more information, some training, coaching or it is something that should just be delegated.

Consider which of these reasons would solve your procrastination issues and then act by getting more information, delegating it or allowing your intuition to guide you to the right time to do it, because the worst thing about procrastinating is the negative self talk, worry and mind chatter that goes on around - not doing it. The negative feelings do more damage than simply not doing the job.

How do you procrastinate?

I am ashamed and proud to share with you a poem that I wrote in 1991 about procrastination. I felt so bad about the procrastinating I was experiencing while I was creating my original weekend workshop called Creative Living, that I wrote this to express my frustration and to reframe the whole experience.

Why? I realized just how much was getting done in other areas whilst I was procrastinating.

A Poem by Barbara from 1991:

I’m the Avoid-Dancer

I dance around pretending to be busy

Looking so important and feeling so prissy

But I’m really quite confused and most agitated

I can’t sit down long enough to get myself motivated.

To even start the project I so deeply desire,

Instead I create my own inner burning fire…..

And dance the avoid-dance.

I dance to the kitchen and then to the phone,

No –one knows that I’m here all on my own!

I do my dance around the washing machine

And everything I see I scrub perfectly clean.

I make the beds, I clean the floors,

I scrub the ceilings and wash the doors.

This is my avoid-dance…….. What’s yours?

Can you relate to this? To give your procrastination activities a name and a character is very helpful especially if you start to become amused by what you do, releasing the tension, blame and guilt is better for your mind and energy levels than the negative emotions.

Nowadays, I still procrastinate, but because I call it my avoid dancer and I now trust my inner guidance, I find that it is OK, and it always works out better than I expect.

Is there any benefit in procrastinating?

You tell me, if you can think of any opportunities now, when you look back on things you procrastinated about. I find that when I am stuck and I “let go” with out giving up, I get greater insights or a faster more efficient way to do the job, or someone shows up to do it for me. Sometimes I find, it is just the thrill of the 11th hour, burning the midnight oil adrenaline rush to get a project done on time.

What opportunities have you discovered in your procrastination?

If nothing else, give it a name and character to disassociate yourself from it, and to give yourself some good energy around it.

You may find the job will get done easier and quicker when you are feeling better about it. Let me know how you go!

Win a prize - for the best “procrastination” name and character.

Please submit yours to barbara@visionboards.net and I will post it on the blog and get votes.

My story: "Law of least resistance" - A few years ago I "let go" of some dreams and gave them to the universe to manifest in the right and perfect time, as I couldn't see the path to get there. Today a third BIG dream came through and all within the last 10 days, bigger and better and EASIER than I could have imagined. And in the perfect time, as I am ready to receive and appreciate these dreams at a much deeper level, having had those few years in between to evolve and develop myself to REALLY enjoy the benefits. Sometimes we just have to trust the Universe's timing, if we trust it to keep our hearts beating - we can trust that it will bring us our true desires - God helps those who help themselves!

If you feel spontaneously happy and excited, then its OK, if you feel that "counter intention" that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, take the pic off and use a pic that feels GOOD!

PASSION - PURPOSE - ACTION!
Mid Month Wisdom By Vision Boards

Do You Have Enough Energy?

ENERGY LEADERSHIP
As you think about YOUR GOALS and what you wish to achieve in 2009 consider
what is it that gives some people the energy, motivation and enthusiasm to jump out of bed
and be excited to take on the day, while other people are dragging themselves,
feeling tired, exhausted, stressed and overwhelmed?

It is the difference in their ARL - Average Resonating Levels.

Everyone has ups and downs. We are emotional beings and each emotion we experience
has a certain frequency, vibration or resonance attached to it.

The average of all the emotions we experience;
the happy and sad,
the courage and fear,
the optimism and pessimism
will give us an overall frequency or resonance
and people are often described by their levels of energy.

Can you think of a person with a happy, welcoming disposition
compared to a sullen, depressed person?

What is the difference in each persons’ “vibes?”

There are 7 categories or levels of energy that can describe the thoughts we think
and the feelings we have. Our levels of consciousness, our self awareness
or our philosophy in life will be reflected somewhere with in the 7 levels of energy.

A higher ARL will be an indicator of someone who is happier and more successful in life
than someone with a lower ARL.

The people with higher ARL’s may not be any luckier than the people with the lower ARL’s
but they do approach things with a more optimistic view and often a more purposeful action plan.

What gives you energy?
What depletes your energy?

If you are curious to find out, at what level of energy you are currently resonating and if you would like some skill sets to help you raise your ARL to the next level, I am available and happy to share the energetic self perception chart, the 7 levels of energy and how they interplay and show up in your life.

I am here to partner and support you in your journey

and discovery of greater happiness and success.

Vision boards are POWERFUL visual goals. The images you have in your mind are compelling, make sure you know what you are imagining is aligned with what you want! Your actions are based on the feelings you have about the images in your mind and on your vision board.

Visionboard Valentines

2009-02-01T16:24:00.000-08:00

Are you in LOVE?
It is February and love is in the air.
My original Vision board success story is about
how I met and married the man of my dreams.

I am absolutely sure that if I had not created
a Treasure map - Vision Board for myself in 1991
and not applied all my mind power techniques that
I eagerly share with all my students, I would still be single
in Australia, wondering why life is so unfair.

Instead I am happily married (since 1994) living in Hawaii,
experiencing life and travels beyond my dreams and
passionately teaching the absolute essence of success.

Is the life you love well represented on your Vision board?
When you look at it can you feel excited about
all the possibilities that life has in store for you?

Are you in the picture?
When you see yourself in the scenes
on your board, your subconscious mind starts
to look for the circumstances that will allow you to
experience what you see and feel. Trust the process.

Who do you know who has a Vision board Valentine?
My friends Maria & Michael have been happily married for 4 years.
They met very shortly after Maria completed her first Vision Board.
Do you have a story to share ?

Feb - Class Schedule:
The problem with attending a live class with Barbara
is that you get what you want. Are you ready?

Abi Achieves her business dreams

2008-08-04T01:36:00.000-07:00

Hi Barbara,

I just wanted to thank you and let you know that so many of the things on my Treasure map have come true! I am still dating that guy that I met on the internet, over a year ago, and I have just bought a bakery and am working on transforming it, and my boyfriend is just as excited about it as I am , and has been helping and supporting me in this endeavor. Of course I am super busy and working a crazy lot, but I am enjoying it and I give thanks to my good fortune and to you, (and everyone else who has been there) for helping me to get here. Just wanted to let you know.

Abi

Dear Abi,

This is exquisite news! I am so looking forward coming to see you in your new business

Love,

I just want to say that your 30 Day Money Accelerator is terrific!

It provides such great structure with variety to keep me so interested and excited to do the processes. The quotes in the contemplation sections and everywhere else in the planner are great and really put things into perspective.

I LOVE the full day of gratitude. It feels so great just to dedicate the whole day to being grateful for everything - big or small. The miracles log is magnificent also!

I find the 30 Day Money Accelerator really does create and promote a wealthy mindset!

Caroline From Australia Gets a New Car with Love

2008-05-30T10:12:00.000-07:00

Hi Barbara

I was driving down the freeway to Melbourne on the weekend. A journey of an hour and a half to visit my grandfather who was having a stay in a nursing home while my parents were away.

I was reflecting on my life and what my next big step would be. The goal of financial freedom is never far from my mind however, with two teenage daughters, lots of animals, and a full time job I do not have a great deal of time to work out how to go out on a limb in order to increase my income.

My present job does not pay very well but also leaves me too tired to think about being courageous and giving it up to seek something else. Two years ago I was driving to work as I do everyday in my car, at the time one of the oldest on the road with no air conditioning and very rusty; I was looking at my hands on the steering wheel and I began to visualise my hands on the steering wheel of a smart new car.

I would look about me on the freeway and pick a car that I would like to own and blow it a kiss. I continued this visualisation and smiling at new cars everyday for a few months and thanking the Universe for the new car that was coming.

One day whilst I was at work, my father rang up and said, “your Mother and I are at the car yard and I have picked out a car for you – what colour do you want?” I never in my wildest visioning knew how I was going to get a new car.

Certainly didn’t think my father was going to go into a car yard one day and decide to get me a car. Now, going to visit my grandfather I looked at my hands on the steering wheel of my gorgeous new car which has been with me for two years now and I thought….well it worked!

If, like I was, you are tired of hearing these kind of stories of people getting things without having to lift a finger…well I like to think I actually did work hard for this new car….I spread a lot of love around on the busy, mad freeway

I can tell you! Angry, frustrated faces of commuters, busy traffic jams, people late for work and very stressed—I worked at being very grateful, peaceful and loving and like to think the Universe (and Dad) thanked me in return.

Kind regards
Caroline
Australia

Congratulations Caroline, Thank you for this story.
Imagine how we could reduce road rage if more people did what you did

Love,

Barbara

The Immense Power of Appreciation and Gratitude.

2008-05-12T12:24:00.000-07:00

Appreciation and Gratitude are quite popular concepts nowadays, since “The Secret” exploded into our consciousness. As you know, practicing and becoming expert in the basics give us a strong foundation to build on.

If you are already practicing gratitude and keeping a journal, or a gratitude board, consider adding this distinction to your current practice and see how much more energy becomes available to you to attract your dreams and desires.

Consider writing a daily list of your Gratitudes.
1. What or who you are grateful for…things, people, events.
Writing a list of all the things you can think of, that you already have in your life is a powerful process. A minimum of 5 and any amount above that is good. In this case, if a little is good, more is better. It can be the most basic of things to the most profound. The first two items on my gratitude list everyday are “Thank you for my good health and my healthy husband and family.” After that, I list whatever I decide on that day. Somedays my list comprises of 5 items, other days it is 15- 20.

2. Why are you grateful?
Choose some items from your list and write another list as to why you are grateful for each of these things, people or events. This process of appreciation adds importance to each item and impacts your neurology. As you search for reasons and ideas, your mind remains focused whilst lingering on a pleasant topic. In fact, this is an ideal and easy way to improve your concentration, and it is a great subject for contemplation, which strengthens your ability to concentrate. The conscious mind is in constant motion, it is usually very active and often turbulent, therefore, training your mind to remain focused for a period of five minutes or more, adds power to everything you do in life, including your visualizations, affirmations and any other creative work that you may practice to activate the law of attraction.

3. How does it makes you feel?
Ask this question for each item on your list, because this question adds emotion, which strengthens your “vibration” and resonance. You may also find out what your values are, as the same feelings may emerge from each item that you question. An example of this is: I feel a sense of freedom, great love or support. The universe will deliver to you situations, circumstances, events and people according to your predominant thoughts and feelings which create your resonance. You may start to experience more reality according to your values.

Adding the focused questions of why and how, helps to add to your “attractor factor” (Joe Vitale’s term), your vibration of “already having” what it is you want. Being appreciative and considering these concepts allows your creative mind to contemplate and reach far more deeply into the concept of gratitude and the art of allowing and receiving. While you are thinking and feeling about what you already have in life, you are allowing or inviting the universe to bring you more.

Your resistance is down, and you are not thinking about what you don’t want, or feeling lack or limitation, you are in the attitude and vibration of appreciation, gratitude and maybe even love and that sends out a strong signal to attract what you want, and now you are open to receiving it.

Some days when I am feeling stuck and my goals seem so elusive, I spend a day in gratitude. I let go of all expectations and just give thanks... pretty much all day. When I do this process, I feel a sense of relief and a “letting go” of tension, worry and fear, and I always find that shortly after, I receive an abundance of events that I am extremely grateful for… Great things happen, I meet incredible people and I seem to be in the right pace at the right time. Try it today, make it a habit and then allow the universe to reveal and bring its treasures to you.

" The Universe may not give you what you want, but it does give you what you have been thinking. Thoughts become things, so chose the good ones.” Mike Dooley

“What you think about and thank about, you bring about.” Dr. John Demartini.

I always dreamed of being an author...Now I am one

2008-03-16T08:08:00.000-07:00

Since 1994 I have been living my greatest of Dreams, beyond what I had thought was possible. Even though I had a great career and was living a good life ... my biggest dreams and goals hadn't come true, until I made myself a treasure map, now referred to as vision boards. The work involved, to make your dreams come true, is no where near the great rewards you will receive, once you know how to create a treasure map and focus your mind. Trained in Mind Power, Barbara is a certified NLP (neuro linguistic programming) facilitator and trainer and now a published author with Dr. Wayne Dyer, Anthony Robbins, Michael Beckwith and Bill Harris in "Living in Abundance". Barbara conducts Treasure Mapping YOUR Way to Success, workshops and advanced classes in Hawaii, Australia and Mainland USA. Private coaching sessions are available by appointment.

An Author arrives...

2008-03-16T08:00:00.000-07:00

Tonight I ran my "Treasure Mapping Your way to Success" workshop at Windward Community College, where it all began 2 years ago (I ran the first workshop on Feb 22, 2006).

Half way through the evening during the actual Map making, My Husband Rand, arrives and announces that the book, I have an article in, had arrived and here are 8 copies.

I was absolutely astounded, because about 45 minutes earlier I had spoken about the book and explained to the class the whole story about how I became a co-author in this book with big names like Tony Robbins, Michael Beckwith, Wayne Dyer and Bill Harris, and that I was going to be receiving the books sometime in February.

When Rand quietly entered the room, carrying the books, at first it didn't register what he was carrying and I didn't know why he had come to visit during the class... and then he put the books on the table, announcing they had just arrived and I might like to show them to the class...... What a surprise! I was delighted, excited and "blown away" by the timing and the miracle of these books arriving totally unannounced, plus Rand specially taking the time to hand deliver them.

Then Rand left, as quickly as he had arrived announcing..... "You are now a published Author."

and then I was even more astonished, excited and delighted, when everyone, wanted a signed copy, then and there, in fact I didn't have enough and I have to deliver more tomorrow~! ... What a great celebration for and testimony to the power of Treasure Mapping !

I am so excited, delighted and humbled by the syncronicity and timing of these events. Dreams do come true and, they just get better!

Class with their signed copies of my new book.

Me signing copies for the class.

Love Barbara
Come,Create & Keep Your Dreams!

What you resist You persist

2008-03-09T14:27:00.000-07:00

What you resist You persist.
Understanding the laws of attraction and least resistance.
by Barbara Pellegrino

Have you heard the saying what you resist, persists? When you understand how the law of attraction works you will realize that what you resist and how you resist will only cause it to continue in your life. If you push against something, by the natural law, it will push back against you.

If you choose to resist, you are choosing for it to persist. Whatever energy you put out into the Universe, will come back to you, in fact some disciplines say that what you put out you will get back multifold - multiplied or expanded many times.

The law of attraction states “Like attracts like” and the Universal Genie, as referred to in the DVD, The Secret, can only give you the experiences of your life; events, places people and things, according to your resonance, your vibration, your energy, which all stem from your predominant thoughts and feelings.

If situations, circumstances and people start to appear in your life, that you don’t want, what do you do? Our natural tendency is to resist, to say no, fight against it and get upset about it.
If you can grasp the concept that these things are residual, like stars that burnt out many years ago, yet we still see their light shine, then you will have the power to create and not react.

Deepak Chopra explains this in his 7 Spiritual Laws to Success; “The law of least resistance”, to judge nothing and be grateful for everything. This is easier said than done, especially when things just aren’t going the way you had planned, hoped for or envisioned.

How do you judge nothing, and be grateful when you feel bad, things aren’t working the way you had planned or imagined? Firstly it is a conscious choice and then it becomes a learned skill and eventually a habit.

1. Choose, to create what you want in that moment.

When you understand that this situation you are currently experiencing is like a burnt out star whose light is still shining and the energy that attracted this to you was released some time in the past. You will have power to not feel helpless, or like a victim and be able to consciously choose how you will think and feel from this moment on.

2. Learn a new skill - What can I be grateful for in this moment?

Ask yourself the question and listen for the answer. Some people ask God, or the Universe or their own subconscious mind or higher self. Ask whatever you believe the universal consciousness to be, the magic is in the asking. Its a distraction technique for the mind and allows your intuition to give you the answer and it instantly changes your resonance, your energy, as the focus changes from reaction to creation and gratitude. What goes out must come back, so isn’t it better to send out a vibration of gratitude rather than anger, frustration or disappointment which are highly charged, emotional and powerful vibrations.

If you practice it and eventually master it as a skill, it will become a habit and second nature.

No such thing as problems, only opportunities.

Jim Edwards, Internet Marketing Guru, said the one question that has made him the most money is “What’s the opportunity?”

You may say, there’s no opportunity, this is a disaster! Everything is ruined!

Yet, all the motivational speakers say that this is the time that you can dig deep down inside and get in touch with your immense inner power. This is the power that is referred to when a Grandmother has the strength to lift a car of a child.

When you ask for the benefit, the blessing, the opportunity in this situation, it firstly changes your energy to that of curiosity rather than negativity and sets your powerful subconscious mind off in the direction of seeking out any potential benefit or opportunity.

The difference between a lucky and unlucky person is that “lucky people are “skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self fulfilling prophecies via positive expectations and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.”

Exerpt from All the Money in the world by Peter W. Bernstein & Annalyn Swan

When you choose to resist nothing, be grateful for everything and be curious as to where the opportunities lie, you will be amazed at how quickly a negative thought, feeling or situation changes.

Make 2008 YOUR year for success

2008-01-16T14:22:00.000-08:00

If you really want to be successful at anything, you will always need to get “back to basics.” Understanding the fundamentals is paramount to achievement. Vince Lombardi the legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers football team, is famous for beginning each summer training camp by holding up a football and saying “Gentlemen, this is a football.”

It seems a bit redundant doesn’t it? Don’t you think that these champion athletes, know what a football looks like? Yet Vince Lombardi felt it imperative.

Now, imagine if you were building a new house, where would you begin? Choosing the paint color, the window trims or light fixtures? Or digging the foundation and deciding on the materials that will comprise the basic structure. It may be more fun to chose the “pretty” things first, but having a strong powerful foundation, for your house is far more important initially. Even if you do choose the paints, trims and lights first, you will need to put them on hold, or in storage somewhere until the house is ready.

It seems to be common sense, yet, I see many people trying to achieve their dreams and goals, with out first building a strong foundation.

Especially, when one dream has been achieved and a new goal is set. People often forget that they are embarking on a whole new journey, entailing new lessons and mastering new skills.

Therefore a basic mind power program, daily, is essential to all success. It is how you master the law of attraction. The Universe is impartial and unemotional, it will only reflect back to you, your predominant thoughts and feelings, not your vague wishes, slight hopes or faint desires.

As Mike Dooley from The Secret says ” The Universe may not give you what you want, but it does give you what you have been thinking.” So how do you create predominant thoughts and feelings?

To guarantee you have the fundamentals covered:

1. Create a Treasure Map/Vision Board and have written goals.

A thirty year Harvard study found that the top 3% of the graduating class, controlled 95% of the personal wealth and all had specific and written goals. All success systems encourage you to write your goals. Many suggest you write them as if they are already accomplished and some personal development trainers suggest you write them out daily. Bob Proctor suggests writing goals in this manner: “ I am so happy and grateful, now that...(fill in the blank with your current goal)....” Written goals are great for the left side of your brain. Pictures are great for the right side of you brain and for the subconscious mind. So for a whole brain integration, make sure you have a colorful and vibrant visual goal board in addition to your written goals.

2. Visualize, Feel and Celebrate the end result daily.

To guarantee your success vibration, a daily 5 minute, full sensory visualization, celebrating the end result (feeling the relief and gratitude of an accomplished goal) is far more powerful than scattered or intermittent positive thinking throughout the day. Thoughts are real forces and can be scientifically measured. A focused 5 minute celebration has far greater attraction power than many less focused thoughts added together. People often think they are “doing the work” when they aren’t really. This is the difference between going to the gym and chatting to your friends versus going to the gym and doing the exercises.

3. Be diligent in your practices.

In The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Deepak Chopra says; ” Success in life can be defined as the continual expansion of happiness the progressive realization of worthy goals. Fulfilling ones desires with effortless ease.”

The way he suggests this can be accomplished is by a daily mediation practice. Even though goals change and accomplished dreams become the basis of new desires, dreams and goals, the method by which they are accomplished remains the same, daily basic practices.

No matter what goal, dream or desire you are working on now, the important part is your daily practices, the foundation of your goals rely on what you do every day.

Before you make this Years Resolutions you must consider....

2007-12-31T13:44:00.000-08:00

“This is the time of year people make resolutions they don’t plan to keep!”

Did you know 95% of all New Year’s resolutions are either forgotten or broken by “Blue Monday”, the third Monday in January?

If you want to achieve the New Years resolutions that you are setting please consider the law of attraction and do the following:

1. Choose which goals you will fully commit to.

2. Decide which goals you will de-commit from or let go of.

3 Complete, celebrate and acknowledge all last years and prior success to add momentum and activate the Law of Attraction for 2008.

4. Create your new Treasure Map/Vision Board and use the accelerator techniques for a minimum of 30 days, to give your subconscious mind a full sensory experience of what it is you want.

Do you set the same goals year after year with out really ever attaining them? If you do then you are giving your subconscious mind a very powerful message that you are not really wanting the goal you are setting. I am not talking about a long term goal that may take a few years to achieve, I am referring to the “frivolous” goals that are set with good intentions and then forgotten about or broken, each year.

Do you know which goals they are for you? Is it a weight or fitness goal? A relationship goal? An educational one? A financial one? Which one of these do you just keep meaning to follow through on, but never manage to find the time or have the willpower to “Just Do It”.

Your Subconscious mind knows that you are not serious about having what you say you want and therefore, it will continue to sabotage the result, not because its your worst enemy, but because it’s what it has been programmed for, year after year

Now, it’s time to commit or to de-commit and its OK either way.

If you fully commit, then you can be confident about having the law of attraction working in your favor by using the powerful techniques of Acknowledgment and Treasure Mapping/Vision Boards, briefly explained below.

If you de- commit then you can be confident that you will release old heavy “baggage” and allow the new goals to manifest more easily and effortlessly.

You will be amazed at how much energy is “free-ed” up, once you actually let go of the old goals that you have been “should-ing” on your self about. In fact in some cases the mere fact of letting go and releasing the obligation and worry about the goal, gives it the space to manifest anyway. (If this has happened for you please email me your story as they are always inspirational for others).

Psychologists say that we can only pay attention to 7 plus or minus 2 things at any one time, if there is more “on our plates” our attention units can become overwhelmed.

This is explained in Jack Canfield’s recent work, “Success Principles”, where he mentions this, discovered by a German psychologist, “who noticed that a waitress, who had not yet had the bill paid, could remember everything that was ordered for the meal even if there were eight people at the table, but as soon as the bill was paid,she could not remember half of it, which is good, as her mind was able to become “present” to focus on the next thing.”

To free up your mind’s attention units for 2008;

De- commit from unfinished, forgotten goals now. and

Acknowledge yourself for anything you have achieved, celebrate it and declare it complete!

As you have heard now, so many times “Like attracts like”, “Success breeds success”.

More success will come your way, when you “feel” successful, but you cannot feel successful if you do not look for and acknowledge your successes. The success can be major or minor. it doesn't matter. What matters is that you acknowledge yourself for whatever you did do. Write down now, your success’s from 2007.

And now, create a new Treasure Map/ Vision board for 2008 or update your current one to acknowledge your success's and completions, and to fine tune your current goals.

Wishing you an awesome, prosperous, wonderful, happy, healthy and fulfilling 2008 and congratulations for your great success’s and accomplishments.

Love Barbara

2007-12-18T16:06:00.000-08:00

“ Dear Barbara, Mahalo Nui Loa for all your inspiration. The students were truly inspired and asked if they could continue working on their maps in class later that day! They loved your accent and your enthusiasm. They said you were really "fun"!” - Elaina, Dip. Ed. Health, Honolulu, Hawaii.

When I was invited to speak to 120 high school teenagers and share with them the basic principles of Treasure mapping, Vision boards, effective goal setting and understanding the law of attraction, I must admit I was a little anxious.

How would I get the message across succinctly, clearly and powerfully? What was the best way to to inspire, motivate and activate these young adults, to set goals, understand and believe they can achieve their dreams ?

After careful consideration, I decided, I could teach them through a powerful and simple 4 step formula:

1. Goal: Know what you want.

The clearest way to get this point across, was to ask the kids if they ever went into a restaurant and ask for food because they were hungry. They laughed. They knew that when you order food, you order specifically what you want! Right? Who goes into a restaurant and says “I’m really hungry, just give me anything..” But how many of us ask that of the Universe! I am lonely I want someone to love, I need a job, any job... but when we aren’t specific in requesting what we want, we are actually leaving it to other people to decide what we receive. and then we blame them for not fulfilling our needs, wants and desires. Its not their fault, if you don’t ask specifically for what you want!

Did you know, most people don’t have what they want because:

1) They don’t know what they want.

2) They no longer believe its possible or

3) They don’t believe they deserve to have it.

2. Clear Picture: Your powerful creative mind works in pictures.

Creating a Treasure Map/Vision board is an incredibly powerful tool for getting what you want. Your powerful subconscious mind only works in pictures and will do whatever it can to bring YOU, your most predominant thoughts and feeling and belief systems, but it only relates to pictures. So if you have a goal make sure you have a clear PICTURE , not just written goals. If you write “picnic” and list all the details of a great picnic and your subconscious mind remembers the picnics at the beach with sand in the potato salad, soggy sandwiches, bugs, flies and no bathrooms? What sort of results do you think you will get?

And then we wonder why we don’t get our goals, or the law of attraction isn’t working. It is working, but its attracting the pictures that are already in your “old filing system” instead of what your think you currently want.

With a Treasure map/ Vision board your subconscious mind will change its course and bring you what is on your map, not what is stored in its memory banks. You will overwrite the old non supportive programs. Your past will no longer automatically create your future.

3. Beliefs: “You’ll see it when you believe it” - Wayne Dyer

Your belief systems give you exactly what you believe you deserve. If you want to know what you really believe, look at your life! Your subconscious mind always gives you exactly what you believe.

If you want something other than what you currently have, you will need to reprogram your subconscious mind. The most efficient way to to this is to:

1) Create a Treasure Map/vision board with the goals, dreams and desires you want.

2) Look at it and celebrate it for 30 days. Like attracts like. What you see in your mind and feel in your body you will soon see and experience in your life. Always visualize your desired result as if it has already been accomplished.

3) Now, you have programed your subconscious mind and it will bring you your new beliefs.

4. Action to Success: “NEVER, NEVER, Never Give up!” - Winston Churchill!

This very famous phrase needs to be updated. Nowadays, we understand how the mind and brain work and we know that we must give our subconscious mind, the command stated in the positive. We have to state what we want, not what we don’t want.

Your subconscious mind doesn’t hear /see the qualifying word, (never, cant, don't) and only moves in a forward direction. Can you see a picture of “never give up?” No, in order to do so, your mind will see the picture of giving up before you can imagine NOT giving up. The better more effective and powerful way to say “never give up”, is to say:

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU SUCCEED.

So many people start out enthusiastically towards their goals, but soon give up, when the going gets a little tough and again, they blame the situations, circumstances and anything, except the fact that they just Gave Up! If you take action and persist and continue till you succeed, you will find the journey to your goals, dreams and desires will be shorter and easier. The difference between a winner and a lose is, as loser falls down once and stays down. The winner falls 7 times and gets up 8.

You know what you want, you have a Treasure map, a clear picture of your goal, you believe its IT IS possible and all you have to do is keep going and persist untill you succeed.

Enjoy this 4 step formula and share it with your FAMILY AND FRIENDS today.

Are you attracting exactly what you want in life?

2007-12-03T12:48:00.000-08:00

How do some people achieve what they want quickly and continue to set and achieve goals while other people struggle to achieve their dreams and desires even after they learn about the Law of Attraction, even after creating a Treasure map/Vision board?

Are some people luckier than others? No! In fact “according to Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire in England who conducted a 10 year study of luck, people’s thoughts and behavior are often responsible for their good luck and good fortune. ..... lucky people are “skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self fulfilling prophecies via positive expectations and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.”

Excerpt from “All the Money in the World” by Peter W. Bernstein & Annalyn Swan

It sounds to me like the difference between lucky people and unlucky people is that the lucky ones understand and live the basic principles of The Law of Attraction. They have supportive belief systems, which include the pictures in their minds, about their own success.

But you say I think positive, I have a written and clearly defined goal. You may also have your Treasure Map..... and like many people, maybe some areas in your life ARE fantastic...yet, other areas may still be challenging.

As you know the real manifesting power of your mind is the SUBconscious, which has been pre programmed, by all your past experiences and how you feel about them. So, although two people might have very similar pictures in their conscious minds, one person believes they deserve to be successful while the other is full of self doubts and subconsciously doesn’t really believe they deserve to live the life they envision.

Therefore it is vitally important that you keep working on your subconscious mind through the Treasure Maps/Vision Boards, Visualizations and Affirmations, until you absolutely believe at the subconscious level that you deserve everything on your Treasure Map.

Your subconscious mind works in pictures not words, it changes each word to a picture. And each word can conjure up different images to different people.

Have you ever been on a picnic? What memories do you have about picnics? Are they wonderful, romantic, fun and laughter filled events or are your memories of the bugs and soggy sandwiches and hard rocky grounds? One of my students said “I always think of the fun we had at the beach and not the sand in my potato salad... “

If your conscious mind THINKS, its thinking positive and focusing on a goal, the sub conscious mind may have a very different picture in its memory banks, and guess which mind has the greater power.? Yes, the Subconscious !

This is why it is so beneficial to learn how to create a clearly defined Treasure Map / Vision Board of your goals, dreams and desires, as it gives your subconscious mind the CORRECT pictures and you will discover how powerfully you can achieve your goals when your subconscious mind is aligned with your conscious mind.

Dr. Wayne Dyer said many, many years ago “You’ll see it when you believe it”

And that is the power of a Treasure Map over a written list of goals. The subconscious mind is influenced and re- programmed by the pictures it sees repetitively and daily. This process can be accelerated by learning the Mind skills that I teach in The Art of Manifesting and even more so by using my 30 Day Accelerator Mind Training program.

Regularly practicing these mind skills like visualization, affirmations and listening to and refining your own self talk will fast track you to your goals, dreams and desires. ( More about the power of the spoken word next newsletter)

“CAN I DO ANYTHING AND HAVE ANYTHING NOW?”

2007-12-03T11:39:00.000-08:00

Recently, whilst I was in Australia my friend Liliane Grace, (author of the mastery Club) and I were discussing how to support students who don’t get everything they want in the time frames they may expect. This is a question I have pondered and contemplated for a while as I observe so many of my students manifesting quickly and easily many (if not all) of the dreams they have on their Maps, while others seem to struggle and get disappointed that the Treasures just seem to be elusive.

During my workshops I mention Malcolm Gladwell's book, "The Tipping Point", for the purpose of explaining that manifesting takes time and energy and once there is enough energy applied results will show. Some students have already put time and energy into their goals and dreams and all it takes for them to manifest miraculously is, to get a clear picture and commit it to paper, by making the Treasure map and "voila" almost instantly, the goals manifest. While others are just beginning the journey towards their goals and have some growing and in some cases some healing and maybe some reprogramming to experience before the universe brings them their goals.

When people start to experience the zig zagging (which is normal, it’s part of the journey of personal development and growth that needs to occur for you to BE the person who naturally has the goal you are seeking), or get disappointed that their dreams didn't manifest when they expected them to, there is always some Mind work that can be done to help them continue on the journey and get results. I can support you with the 30 day accelerator workbook and I offer personal one to one coaching, plus free email advice to students.

The basic answer is KEEP GOING, do the inner mind work, be diligent with your affirmations and self talk and do whatever it takes.

Is the prize worth the PRICE? If it is keep going, the law of attraction will work once you resonate, vibrate at the required frequency. You will know whether the goal is worth the effort required to attain it.

This article comes from my friend Liliane Grace, Author of "The Mastery Club" an amazing book about a group of young teenagers who have some fun and interesting adventures while they learn and practise the principles of the law of attraction. Liliane is an insightful and extremely eloquent writer, so it is my pleasure to share this article with you. To learn more about "The Mastery Club" please visit http://www.themasteryclub.com.au/ you can download the 1st four chapters. I have books here in Hawaii, if you'd like to own your own copy or give to some special kids, just let me know.

“CAN I DO ANYTHING AND HAVE ANYTHING NOW?” by Liliane Grace http://www.themasteryclub.com.au/

To put it simply, sometimes we don’t get what we want because the timing isn’t right, sometimes because the goal isn’t right, sometimes because our reason isn’t right...

The purpose of this dream-seeking work is not that we can wave a magic wand and instantly get whatever we want, but that we grow. It’s not about what we GET but who we BECOME in the process of achieving our dreams that is most important. It’s pretty easy to come to the conclusion that, once we understand the principles of creative thought, we can have anything we desire or do anything we want to do, but these laws are not some sort of push- button technology; they’re about personal development, spiritual growth and the fact that everything comes ‘by right of consciousness’, which means you can only manifest what you have earned by doing your ‘inner work’.

So if we make a treasure map or say affirmations and our dream doesn’t manifest quickly, then that time delay is a reflection of our process of growing into the person who truly identifies with the desired outcome. This is a funny paradox about manifestation: when you feel that you have it (whatever is is), that’s your clue that it’s on its way. If you know it’s yours, it’s yours; if you doubt it or you’re trying to ‘bring it’ or make it happen, it’s not.

So... if it’s not coming to me, I’m not ready for it or it’s not right for me. This brings up the question: how do we make ourselves ready faster?! How do we grow into that person? How do we ‘earn the right’? How do we develop that consciousness? How do we accept that it may not be right for us?

This is my answer to those questions: * Do what you love. Your inner work includes honoring yourself by doing what makes you feel vital and alive. (By the way, that’s what you’re here to do...)* Study and understand the principles of creative thought. When we understand them, we’re much more patient because we know we’re dealing with LAWS, and laws work reliably. * Practice the disciplines of affirmations and visualization rather than just reading about them. *

Hold your vision. Be patient and kind to yourself while your dream is still in the invisible. * Be humble as each next challenge (opportunity to grow) turns up. * Learn from feedback.

Ultimately all change comes from the inside: how you see things, how you talk to yourself about them. Remember that while you are practising the principles,you are growing into the person who can have that dream... Just remember that this journey is about getting what we need (for our growth) rather than what we want (for our ego). Trust that the Great Power that created you and everything you experience, truly does know what is best for you. The Grand Organizing Design (G.O.D.) is perfect – there are no mistakes. All is in perfect divine order.

Creating a Success Vibration by John Kehoe

2007-12-03T11:34:00.000-08:00

I am so excited and grateful to share with you the wisdom of John Kehoe! John has kindly written the article "CREATING A SUCCESS VIBRATION" at my request so I can share it with YOU!

So many of my students are getting such amazing results with their Treasure Maps and some are still in the process of achieving their goals and dreams. I asked John to write an article on Acknowledging, for my students, as I know and believe this is a special and very powerful tool to really attract success and great results!

Please enjoy the article below, Creating a Success Vibration by John Kehoe and feel free to visit John's website, for more information about his wonderful work. His Mind power course is where I began my journey into understanding the law of attraction and it is what led me to discover Treasure Mapping /Vision Boards.

-Barbara

Creating a Success Vibration by John Kehoe -

There is an old adage that says ‘nothing succeeds like success,’ and this is an accurate saying, based upon fact. A success vibration acts like a magnet that attracts success and opportunities to you. When you ‘think’ successful and feel successful you will act accordingly, and therefore find it easy to achieve whatever goals you set for yourself.

So for those of you who are already successful, you have momentum on your side and the law of attraction already working for you. You are forever attracting to you conditions and circumstances according to your predominant thoughts, which in this case are success-oriented. Your success vibration is a great asset to you.

Those of you who are struggling and not yet successful, don’t despair; you too can create the same success vibration using the mind power technique of “acknowledging”.
The acknowledging technique begins with simply finding areas of your life where you are already successful, and then using these aspects to build a success vibration for yourself. Unfortunately most of us are quicker to see our own failures and shortcomings than we are to acknowledge our achievements and successes. To create a success vibration you must change this habit and become success-focused. Examine your personal qualities and present situation and find things to feel successful about. Can’t find anything? Look again. Are you a loving parent? Are you a good friend to someone? Do you have skills? Are you positive? Do people enjoy your company? Are you generous? Do you dress well? Are you a safe driver? You are not limited to the narrow definition of success as someone who is rich, famous and good-looking. These other aspects I mention are equally important in life. The key is to think and feel successful now in your life. This is what creates a success vibration.

You can also look to your past and acknowledge yourself for past achievements. “But that’s the past,” you might argue. It doesn’t matter; you can use anything past or present to make yourself feel successful. Make yourself an acknowledging list—ten or fifteen things that cause you to feel successful. Spend five minutes every day reading it over and acknowledging yourself, feeling successful. What you focus on you attract, so start focusing on success.

An acknowledging list can be either general or specific. For example, let’s say you’re going to a job interview for a sales position. You might make a specific acknowledging list that highlights the positive qualities you have which will help you succeed in such a position, such as: I’m a good communicator, I have great people skills, I’m organized, and so on. By focusing on this list you are building a success vibration. The same principle works whether you’re closing a million dollar deal or getting an entry-level job or finding that perfect partner. Create a success vibration and you will attract success. What are you waiting for? Get started today.

"The Art Of Manifesting with a Treasure Map"

2007-11-09T16:24:00.001-08:00

“ Either you create your life and live your own dreams or you'll become a pawn in someone else's.”
Barbara Pellegrino

Since 1994 I have been living a life way beyond my wildest dreams! Traveling the world with my Husband, the man of my dreams, living in “sun kissed” Hawaii, enjoying life’s limitless beauty and teaching my own workshops called, "Treasure Mapping Your Way to Success."

No one believed it was possible except my mother and I. We were the only ones who actually believed in my dream. And nowadays, the rest still shake their heads in amazement and wonder, how it all happened? Many still pass it off as.... “she got lucky!”

Let me tell you a little secret, IT IS NOT LUCK! Ask others who are living their wildest dreams. They will tell you it has nothing to do with luck.

Its a formula and the basic ingredients are desire, belief and having a clear picture in your mind.

We all create our own lives, including our good fortune and abundance. And Yes, it can happen for you and you can share it with the people you know and love, so it can happen for them also.

The three secrets to creating your goals, dreams, and desires; abundantly, delightfully and easily are, TLC:
1) T - Treasure Map.(Vision Board) A visual representation of your goals, dreams and desires.
2) L - Laws. Understanding the Universal Laws, especially Attraction.
3) C - Creation/Manifestation. Learning the Art of Manifesting.

Sometimes your goals and dreams will come to fruition quickly. Sometimes they may take a little longer and they always come at the perfect time. Having a completed treasure map activates the Law of Attraction and brings to fulfillment the Art of Manifestation.

Creating your Treasure Map will help you manifest whatever you want in life, because your extremely powerful, “creative mind” understands and works in pictures. Looking at your map will trigger your passions give your mind focus and laser beam clarity. Therefore your subconscious mind becomes programmed like a guided missile towards your goals and dreams, instead of just dwelling on and recreating your past!

Your Treasure Map is a visual representation of how you want your future to BECOME. Just like you have success pictures and photos on your walls at home. You will now have a map with clear and definite pictures that will direct your creative mind in manifesting your future.

Your history does not have to repeat ITSELF! Your past is not your future! Turn around, look at your dreams and move forward now.

You might say, I already have written goals. That’s great for the left side of your brain, but what about including the right side, the creative side? ADDING THE VISUALS, is the more powerful way to set your goals and achieve the dreams and abundance you want. The only limit is your level of desire, and your willingness to act.

I do not know of any other process that offers greater rewards relative to the actual effort exerted.

The map I made in 1994 is still bringing me great joys and wonderful adventures and I create new maps regularly to add to my fabulous and abundantly happy life.

Jumping for Joy

2007-11-09T16:22:00.000-08:00

Are you still jumping for joy?

Would you like a really practical and fun way to harness the Law of Attraction and magnetize your goals, dreams and desires easily? You have probably seen and heard recent DVD’s like “The Secret” or “What the bleep?” state that everything in the Universe is energy and like attracts like.

What exactly does that mean? Like attracts like? When they say opposites attract? Well, if you really examine, the “opposites” attract theory you will find at their core, these things that are meant to be opposite are really the same! Magnets are still metal, just one end has a positive charge, the other end has a negative charge, but it’s still a metal magnet attracting metals.

You may be attracted to your opposite, but you will find you have more similarities than opposites. In this Universe you cannot attract the opposite. You will always attract to you, the people, situations and circumstances according to your own personal vibration. The energy you send out comes back to you, the thoughts and feelings you experience many times over and/or more intensely, will in fact come back to you. So how do you attract what you really want?

One fun way is to JUMP FOR JOY!

I observed a small child recently in a store. As his father was about to give him a sweet treat the child jumped for joy, clapped his hands, giggled laughed and was unashamedly eager to receive the treat! When he received it, he gobbled it up joyously, still extremely excited, happy to experience the gift and buoyant in his energy.

His happiness and delight, charmed and amused all of us who stood there and watched this sweet innocent child. Can you remember the last time you were so excited about receiving something that you literally jumped for joy? I can and it wasn’t too long ago! I get that excited every time I run a Treasure Mapping class because I know what treats my students will be attracting to themselves.

Energy is catchy! Your energy sends out a resonance in waves ( imagine a rippling effect) and other people are always affected, just as you are affected by others’ energy or moods. Only those who are well trained and understand the Law of Attraction can avoid being affected by other peoples moods.

The Universe responds to all the energy you put out. Your personal vibration, your resonance (your predominant thoughts and feelings) is what is responsible for what you experience in your reality not your wishes and hopes and longings. Like attracts like!

So why don’t you start now to jump for joy? Look at your Treasure Map and celebrate it, jump for joy, enhance and increase your personal vibration to attract to you more things that you really would “jump for joy” about.

Please send this to your friends now and have more people jumping for joy in anticipation of and celebrating their dreams and goals with you!

SMART Goals

2007-11-09T16:11:00.000-08:00

DO YOU HAVE S.M.A.R.T. GOALS?

Now that you have a Treasure Map a visual road map to your success, you can decide if your goals and dreams are S.M.A.R.T.

S - Specific. Clarity leads to power and success. Remember your subconscious mind is very literal, is your goal specific, clearly defined? Easy to understand? It needs to make sense to you. Your Treasure Map can be general but your journaling and visualizations need to be specific so you can target and achieve your exact goal.

M - Measurable. How will you know that you have your goal? If you want to drop weight, is it 3 or 30 pounds? If you want to improve your income, will finding a quarter in the street satisfy you? Or do you want to increase your net income by $2000, $20,000 or $200,000? How will you measure your success? The subconscious mind doesn’t understand loss or gain you will need to state an exact number. For example: I now weigh a healthy 115 pounds. Or I now earn $40,000 every month.

A - Attainable. Is your goal realistic? I fully believe we create our own reality and I am extremely practical. So ask yourself, is your goal achievable now? Do you have all the skills needed to manifest this? Do you need to grow, stretch and learn or heal some things to help you along the way to your dreams? Do you need to make space for you goals? So many people set goals but are often too busy or afraid to be willing to receive them. Remember the basic formula:

ASK, BELIEVE, RECEIVE.

I suggest that you adopt the attitude of being prepared to do “whatever it takes” and you will find many times you wont have to, purely because you have stated that intention very clearly and having the attitude is enough to activate the law of attraction. Sometimes you will be challenged and have to do and keep doing whatever it takes... and that’s where you will need to look at the passion factor/ relevance below. If your goal requires a certain skill set e.g. To become a doctor, speaker, dancer, great athlete, investor, please go and learn these skills. Take action and keep taking what Jack Canfield calls “inspired action” until you have what you want. Taking action is part of the believing section and in doing so you are telling the universe you are willing to receive. (note: taking action is important in both worlds, the outer world of reality and the inner world of thoughts and feelings, i.e.... Doing your Mind work and being disciplined with your thinking and “vibes” you are generating.)

R- Relevant. This has to do with Passion. You can decide to have any goal you want, but if its not a true passion for you, is it really relevant to your life and worth your time and energy? When a goal is also a passion you will find endless strength and enthusiasm to succeed and keep going, even through the rough spots, or “growth spurts”.

T- Time. The usual left brain goal setting techniques suggest you put a time frame, a deadline around your goals and many people like to give their goals a definite date. I partly agree. Holistic goal setting and using the Mind Skills and Affirmations, are all about having your desired reality NOW.

If you feel compelled to put a date on your Treasure Maps, I would suggest you write the date with this qualifier, “......or sooner” e.g. “ By December 30, 2007, or sooner, Thank you”. This will allow the universe and your subconscious mind to bring it to you as quickly as possible. Joe Vitale says “the Universe likes speed”. Do You? During your visualizations see it, feel it, hear it, touch it, taste it, smell it as if you have already achieved it all NOW.

Please be aware that if you have nominated a specific time frame it could put undue pressure on you and encourage non supportive thinking habits to infiltrate such as: fear, worry, panic, feeling rushed. Be very conscious of your thoughts. You cannot attract something to you by focusing or worrying about the opposite!

Use the timeline as a guide and a request. If you miss the timeline, take the timeline off your map and affirm, visualize and celebrate using “now” instead of the specific date/time.
If you do miss your date, determine if it was because your goal is not aligned with your higher purpose or passion, or it is bigger than you originally thought, or is it that you have changed your desires? You are extremely powerful and if you do not attain your goal by the time your “realistically” chose, there is a reason. Re-evaluate what it is you want, why you want it and is it for your highest good?

Have fun with your creations and manifesting. I look forward to hearing about your great success, very soon

AFFIRMATIONS and "TREASURE MAPPING YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS"

2007-11-09T16:03:00.000-08:00

AFFIRMATIONS and "TREASURE MAPPING YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS"

Emile Coue (a French pharmacist and psychologist known as the father of applied conditioning) developed the concept of auto suggestion and gave this affirmation to all his patients, to say to themselves repeatedly through out the day:

"Every day in every way I get better and better"

Affirmations are small short easy, positively worded, sentences that you say to
yourself (self talk), to keep your mind focused on what you want from life. You can say them out loud, you can say them in your own mind, you can make them into a song in your mind, you can get your kids to sing along.

They are like self fulfilling prophecies. You probably already do a lot of unconscious self talk, why not make it conscious and choose the things you say to yourself ?

Why not be your own cheerleader? If not YOU who will be?

To affirm is to make FIRM, firm in your mind, firm in your life!

“For in the end we do not choose the life we live.......

WE LIVE THE CHOICES WE MAKE"

Affirmations should to be repeated many times over, like a song that got stuck in your mind. Remember the song ?..... "its a small world after all"... I have yet to meet someone who doesn't say to me:- "No! Don't say it, now its stuck in my mind and I'll be singing THAT #@!!%% song for the rest of the day!"

Now, its time for YOU to choose what you want to get stuck in YOUR mind!

You may wish to print these affirmations and read them to yourself. Please use the ones you like best, and / or design your own:

Miracle shall follow miracle, wonders will always be, I give thanks for this perfect day

I am always in the right place at the right time for the highest good of all concerned

I always say the right thing to the right person at the right time for the highest good of all concerned

This or something better happens for me now, for the highest good for all concerned

I am a great business builder and I have a really supportive team around me, now and always.

I see beauty all around me, my life is good,all is well

I am healthy,happy,wealthy and wise,now and always

Everything gets done easily and efficiently, now.

I love and trust myself, life is elegant and easy

I am organized and efficient

I am successful in all my endeavors

The Universe and My subconscious mind are my partners in Success

I attract success and abundance into my life now, easily and happily

There is plenty of time for everything

I enjoy my life and all I see,feel smell,taste and touch.

I am on the right path for me, now and always

Good things are happening for me now
