Today was the debut of A Taste of Paradise: A Sampler of Healing Practices for Body, Mind and Soul. The 1/2 day ‘retreat’ was a collaboration between me (Coach Paradise) and Jane DiCola,( Bliss Retreats and Zumba Instructor). It was the manifestation of a dream and it was awesome.
We had 19 attendees who snapped up our limited spaces within the first week of the promotional email. Each presenter (including myself on Law of Attraction and the finale of energizing Zumba) provided a fun, value packed experience that left people wanting more (it was a taste after all).
We pulled off a classy, smoothly running event – from the safari bus that shuttled people to a world class villa with a view of the British Virgin Islands – to the bouganvilla and bird of paradise that adorned the tables to the life changing offerings that had people lined up to make appointments with our presenters.
If I am in the business of collecting evidence for success and prosperity as I spread love and well-being, my collection grew greatly today. And, if this retreat wasn’t enough well-being for one day, I arrived home to a phone message from a radio listener, “You are the best thing on the radio.”
Sweet dreams are made of this.
Collaberators par excellence
Talk about the magic of manifesting…. I stopped at Friendly’s Grocery this morning to pick up a newspaper. The headlines screamed: FORCASTER PUTS ODDS ON HURRICANE STRIKING VI and VITEMA PREPPED AND READY (Vitema is a local emergency organization). My heart skipped a couple of beats as I felt myself sliding down the emotional guidance scale to fear, despair and powerlessness.
I was here, in St. Thomas, for two major hurricanes, Hugo in 1989 and Marilyn in 1995. They were both very scary: before, during and afterwards.
Well, magnificent manifester that I am, I jumped up into my observational lookout station and took stock of what was happening. I could see clearly that my reptilian brain (my amygdale) was swollen to outsized proportions and had kicked into its fight or flight stance. I spoke calmly to myself, took a few really deep breaths (the sure fire way to return to the present NOW moment) and began the incremental process of shifting my focus and finding ‘positive aspects’ to what was looking like a dire situation.
I turned to page 4 of the paper and noted that there is a 28% chance that a hurricane will pass within 50 miles of the Virgin Islands and a 9% chance that it will be a major hurricane. This was feeling better already. Even a major storm 50 miles off felt a whole lot better than “…odds on hurricane striking the VI.”
I then reminded myself that newspapers are in the business of selling papers and fear sells. I got angry at the newspaper and noted that anger is much further up the scale than despair. I was heading in the right direction.
I remembered that nothing happened to my family during Hugo or Marilyn. My daughter slept through both of them. I reviewed my hurricane prep drill and made a mental note to beef up supplies and find a buff guy to help if I have to put up shutters. That was feeling better still.
I thought about what powerful vibrational beings we all are and that the energy we send out is that which we receive. I decided to picture all storms moving out to sea or dissolving mid-ocean. I gave thanks for the volcanic haze that is covering the island right now because it is supposed to deter hurricanes. I was feeling better and better and really grateful for the opportunity to do what I do best and to show you all how to use your law of attraction tool kits when the going gets rough.
As I finished filling up my car with gas I read about A RARE SIGHT – a short-eared owl who appeared out of nowhere and perched on a utility line in a housing project near me. “It did not hoot but it did turn its head around, which was weird to see.” It returned for a second night in a row and put on a display of flying around for the people in the community to see it.”
Back in business thanks to manifesting magic, a hoot owl and the power of NOW.
I’m blogging from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (Magen’s Bay). “Thank you Universe,” and “I’m a magnificent manifester.” You too can manifest magic in your life and blog from spots that make your heart sing. Here’s are a few examples to prime your manifestation pump.
On my way to the beach I kept hoping that a slow driver would turn off and clear the way for me to speed ahead – and he did. I said ‘thank you universe’ and “what a magnificent manifester I am.”
I began my walk on the beach and thought how nice it would be nice to walk and talk with someone – when a woman I’ve enjoyed great conversations with in the past – just happened to catch up with me: “Mind if I join you?” We walked a mile and our talk spanned memoirs, Afghanistan and the difficult search for non-halter top bathing suits and non-underwire bras.” ‘Thank you universe,” and “what a magnificent manifester I am.”
I’m going to go home and manifest a frothy cafe latte, followed by “Thank you universe,” and “what a magnificent manifester I am.” Like I said yesterday, light weights and frequent reps is the way to the gold.
Even if you are not consciously asking, when something happens and you feel good you can be sure that there is manifesting at hand, and the universe is responding to some request (perhaps unconscious) that you have made. To seal the deal and see it as part of your manifestation muscle work-out, all you have to do is acknowledge it, say ‘thank you universe’ and “what a magnificent manifester I am.”
The world is awash in the magic of manifesting. I can’t wait to see what the rest of today holds for me and, even better, what you will manifest in your world starting right now.
Today is the start of my 30 day blog challenge. I’ve been incubating this blog for quite a while and have asked for guidance to invite more readers and comments and get a conversation going as I create 5 Simple Steps to Paradise – a new, exciting group coaching program. I got as far as having a subscribe button put on the sidebar along with ‘Hot Stuff’ – steps in the right direction- when @Helen Rappy my coaching buddy/friend/colleague posted on FB last night that a new challenge had begun. I replied, “I’m in.”
If the proof is in the pudding, this is delicious. The evidence is in that light weights and frequent repetition is the way to go in this ASK AND IT IS GIVEN universe. I asked about blogging and conversing and providing value. I’m leaving the cool million and the tall, dark and handsome in my vibrational escrow for the moment. I’ll get to those bigger dumb bells and am inviting you to join me on this journey of building your manifestation muscles in a fun, delightful workout that will leave you toned and strong in your version of buff (Schwarzenegger? Madonna? Russell Crowe?….). What would you like to manifest in your life right now, today? Remember light weights, frequent reps – we’ve only just begun.
I was part of a group ‘angel reading’ by two very evolved spiritual teachers. The moved around our circle and spoke to each person about what they saw. I could tell they really ‘saw’ the essence, life purpose and great magnificence of each person, past, present and future. The mirror they held up for each of us reflected back our full, most joyful glory.
It was a powerful experience and, since I knew the others in the group, I could see how ‘right on’ they were with each and every one of us.
Their message opened my heart and spoke so clearly to who I am, what I love, and what I am here to do. It also got me thinking about how affirming the best in the people is life changing. It instantly raises the vibrational set point 1000%.
As a coach I focus on seeing the people I work with in their best, happiest, most realized state. even when they are not. I become the mirror for people’s becoming, inviting them to catch up with themselves.
When we see the best in ourselves, we treat ourselves and others better and move forward with confidence and purpose. When we see the best in others we call forth the best in them as well as in ourselves – double dipping.
All healing is based on holding a vision of 100 percent good health for the ailing person – of knowing that the natural good health state is already there and must be allowed to emerge.
There is great power in holding the space for people to be their best selves especially when they are not.
We all serve as mirrors for one another. If we focus on what we want to see all around us, we will reflect that back to others – ie they will see the good stuff in themselves which inspires them to be the good stuff and do more of it. The opposite is also true. If we focus on the negative aspects of others, that’s what they see as their reflection and reflect back.
I loved what the angels said to me. They told me that my purpose was to raise the vibrations of everyone I meet and of the planet. They added that what I really do is to put crowns on people’s heads – I crown people.
Consider yourselves crowned.
