I would like to let you in to a secret, a secret which deep down you already know, a secret which if you really allowed yourself to realise would absolutely change your life!
This is the secret:
YOU CAN HAVE WHAT YOU TRULLY WANT YOU JUST MAY NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS STOPPING OR BLOCKING YOU AND LEARN HOW TO RECEIVE!
Does this sound simple? Well it is and it isn’t. It is simple because there is a way to have your true love or the work of your dreams but you may have to do some work on yourself and take responsibility for how you are currently sabotaging yourself and that can take some work to become really conscious of your feelings and thought patterns.
Ultimately this is about moving out of being a victim in whatever way you might be doing this (it can be subtle or blatent) and taking your authority and power and believing in yourself. The universe is totally abundant and limitless and the possibilities are endless but it can be hard to give up a feeling of wanting to be rescued in some way and hard to be really honest about what you really truly want and start to go for it. This is because you can judge what you really want and in this way push it down or out. What you need to do is ask yourself “am I willing to give up my judgements (of not deserving or worrying what others will think) and start to live the life I genuinely want”. If you are willing then you can begin to take the following steps.
It can take as long as you want or as short a time as you want but when you are truly ready to allow your dreams in then your energy magically opens up and you are able to allow in that new partner or job.
How can you learn to open up and allow this love and abundance into your life?
1 Firstly think about what you really want, deep inside you. Don’t focus on a huge list really try to connect with the simple truth of what you really want. Imagine this wish in as much detail as you can coming true and feel it entering your heart. Hold this in your heart and breathe in and out imagining that you know have this wish. If you feel any resistance then keep breathing and imagine releasing the resistance.
2 Once you have your desire (eg meeting your true love, finding your soul’s purpose) then breathe into this and ask yourself “Am I truly committed to receiving this?” Notice what comes up and keep breathing. Ask yourself “What are the doubts?”
3 Keep connecting to this wish then ask yourself “If I receive this dream what would be my fear about receiving it?” Sometimes we can have an investment in keeping life the same way, perhaps we are playing a role in our family or we feel we would not be loved as much or we could make others jealous. Whatever the investment it is important to find out what is our inner “deal” and why are we not allowing ourselves to receive our greatest wish. Are you putting it off till a later date for some reason? Why is that?
4 Ask yourself if you are attached to being unhappy or single in any way? Some people want a relationship but they are afraid of losing their freedom, in this case why not bring in a relationship which respects your freedom.
5 Once you have found the reason that is holding you back ask yourself if you are willing or ready to release this. Often blocks have served a purpose and been used to protect us in the past but perhaps you are able to protect yourself anyway and you do not need the block to do this. Can you imagine being freed of this block. Try out “I now release this block to my highest good” and see how you feel. What you may need to do is to take the next level of responsibility and form your wish adding in your needs. For example if deep down you are afraid of losing your freedom and that is why you are not married then you need to take the next step in forming your sense of yourself. You need to decide that you will have marriage and freedom and know that you will be able to honour both in yourself then you will be able to hold this with your husband or wife.
6 Now affirm your wish and see how that feels.
For example try saying and breathing in “I am open to pure abundant, gorgeous love” or “I am open to a committed relationship” or “I am living my soul’s purpose”. Choose a phrase or make one up that suits you breathe it in and see how it feels.
7 The more you can truly connect with being able to imagine deeply having what you want the more likely it is that you will be able to bring it in. All you need to do is feel the feelings and the resistance that comes up and allow it to transform while committing to the truth of your dream.
8 The only difference between those who got what they want and those who didn’t or don’t is that those who got what they wanted never gave up. I would like to encourage you to never give up and to realise you deserve everything you truly want you just may need to clear your blocks to it.
Once you have cleared and felt the blocks you will see how things turn up in your life. Keep imagining exactly what you want and feel and see it coming in

Visioning your work
Your Sacred Heart, Your Sacred Vision
I thought I would write to you today of visioning your dreams. You may be doing this regularly or it may have been some time since you have done this but it can be very helpful to look at where you are at and whether your life and your visions are matching what you want.
My experience of visioning has been very strong though sometimes I have had doubts because it can take time but I have found that if I don’t give up then many of them come true.
Process of visioning
Start to think or feel what you would really like your life to be or feel like. Pick an aspect of your life and work with this.
So for example work how would you like your working life to look like or feel like? What would be the best picture or feeling you could have of your working life? If you had no fear what would it be like?
Eight years ago I wrote a vision of how I wanted my life to be and I shared this vision with two other people. At the time my vision was to be an International Workshop Leader and Life Coach with my heart images around the world, books on the heart and TV shows on love and the heart. I wanted a way to connect with my purpose and take this out to the world. For me my purpose was about encouraging people to connect with love and a universal sense of love and connection where we are all linked. I wanted my hearts and my workshops to help people and remind them that it is safe to be who they are and that they can be vulnerable. What I wanted to feel was that I was connected to love, to my purpose, to who I am and all I can possibly be and am sharing this love and sense of purpose with others to help them to dare to see who they really are.
It is important to focus on what the feelings are around your vision, how do you want to feel? What do you want to give the world or others and what do you want others to feel from what you give? The feeling of the vision is the most important part. If you focus on holding the feeling that you want that is the key.
Now this year I am working in Kuwait, Greece, Spain, France, all around the UK and have been invited to work also in the US. My hearts are going as posters into IKEA from this October which will be worldwide. I have had my own radio show and have been on little bits of TV so although sometimes I have felt frustrated and as if my dreams may not happen I can see that they are happening and they are probably happening in the right time and the right way for me to feel I am able to do them. For I am learning so much as I go along and perhaps if certain dreams had happened too quickly then it might not have felt right for me or that I was confident enough to do them.
Unblocking
But there can be great resistance to ones own dreams for different reasons. For me, for example, I have written a lot which is in my computor but for some reason I have not managed to finish some of it in order to show someone and edit it. But after my Vipassana I have realised that I need to treat my writing as a meditation and take myself to a café or my office and sit and write consistently till I have written what I want- which at the moment is to finish and complete chapter one and the synopsis of my chapters in order that I can show someone. I love writing and I love being immersed in the process of it. For me it is a very intimate relationship and way of being with yourself and I am happy that I am committing to it at the moment.
I had a chat with my supervisor yesterday about why I might be so blocked and I discovered that I was putting pressure on myself to achieve before allowing something to emerge, I was also judging myself and the writing before allowing it to flourish. Somehow giving myself a retreat has given me the detachment and the space to try again and just allow and see what can happen.
Charity Work
If you are really suffering with fear and a lack of self belief then sometimes it can really help to connect with others and give back in some way. I know for me that my community work makes a big difference to my life and how I feel about life. If I work with others and give something back (hopefully from a good place, a place of joy to do so and not a begrudging place) then I also feel so much better. So one way of shifting and allaying fear can be to find a charity or a concern that you believe in and start to give to them through time, money or service. Find a charity or a concern which is close to your heart and see what you can do for them. It is amazing what doing this can do.
