Gratitude

The surest way to start attracting more greatness, abundance and magic into your life is carrying and attitude of gratitude everywhere you go. Thankfullness is extraordinary, it turns potentially difficult and dramatic situations into an opportunity for expansion, for growth every single time.

In fact, there is nothing you cannot be grateful for.

Everyday I walk with my kids and I spend the entire walk, smiling into my heart, thinking of everything in my life that I am grateful for. It could start anywhere, for example, I am so grateful for the grass growing here, it's so springy and feels delicious to walk on!

Start small if it is hard to think of things to have warm gratitude for in your life. If it doesnt feel "real" to act/speak this way, fake it till you make it. EVERY act of gratitude, opens the heart more and more and soon, there will be an endless list of things to be grateful for in every *now* moment, and the good things as your vibration raises start to occur in your life, seemingly out of nowhere! You are in a state of no resistance when you are grateful and that means you can allow beautiful things to happen in your experience!

Life presents traffic. Gratitude, there is time to breathe, be present, feel where there is tension in the body, dream up a big awesome future, time. wow. the potential in every single situation is incredible.

Our cultivation of the Gratitude Quotient our "GQ" is so easy!

Journal 3 minutes per day, all that you are grateful for and you will be amazed, truely amazed at the huge joy that you begin to feel, how easy it becomes to fully embrace what is (Radical Acceptance). Noticing what you have already, what you enjoy about what surrounds you, in your home, outside, who are you with?

Journaling or simply noticing and being thankful puts you in a naturally receiving state. For example, I have started to be truely thankful for my passions and gifts, the very thing that I can offer up to the world. I am so grateful for my particular talents.

Being grateful has put me in a great state of allowing, and low and behold, opportunities arrive in front of me ALL the time to express and enjoy giving my passion to the world, and I get to grow and keep on learning while this happens. In this state of expansion, being in alignment with what you most desire or want doesn't mean the wanting ends, it simply means there is MORE to be thankful for, which puts you in a vibrationally allowing state and therefore attracts more of what you want into your life. The possibilities for co creation are truely astounding.

I anticipate and expect great things happening in my life, I anticipate and am grateful for each and everything that happens to me, people I meet and this truely great time we are living.

Yours, In Gratitude!

Parenting For Social Change

"Graham Brett helps her readers dig deep into how we may have been controlled as children – largely due to the social and cultural environments of the time – and to consider how they shape our views as parents."
~Wendy Priesnitz, Life Learning Magazine

What a great honour and a privilage it is to be parenting *now* in this age where we are questioning everything we have ever been told to "do" with our kids and reason we parent the way we parent. Why do many not question the old paradigm of raising children. What about the concept that children raise us! That our children come as autonomous, capable people who do not need to be trained, but who simply require being heard, really listened to.

I have been reading the website "Parenting for Social Change" and I am just floored everytime I read a new post. This is one website that every parent would benefit having on their reading list. Or alternatively you could click on this link and find a whole new way of relating through this amazing publication!

We are birthing children that are hardwired for change, and they are *showing* us the way. Let's tune in, let go and feel our way through our fears, our hangups and start questioning humanities memes about raising the next generation!

ultra ~cuddle~ time

Laying in bed to night just cuddling my son as he drifted off to sleep was an awesome chance to just go through my mind to check myself. I noticed where i was holding thoughts and ideas that were not congruent with the moment i was in. It is an interesting space you hold for yourself when you are looking and releasing to come entirely into the present moment.

As i released, relaxed and fell into the warm melty moment of being a mother who's 4 year old son is contentedly laying in my arms cuddling in, our legs entwined, his arms around me, his head relaxed into my shoulder, stroking his lovely hair, breathing, in out, in out, in out. His beautiful face, relaxed and I knew beyond anything my son, in my arms fell into the best sleep ever knowing his mama was there to just be with him. No mind. Big mind, i have heard it said.

Expansiveness, non resistance, gratitude, love.

I thought of times in my past when I had not surrendered fully, like i can now. Breast feeding a child to sleep, but my mind elsewhere, on things incomplete, tasks awaiting my attention, the discomfort would grow and grow. What kind of a vibration is my child receiving if i am there, with him, but NOT fully present. That i would rather be with the washing than with him.

I am so thankful that the contrast has shown me what is more important to me. Remaining connected throughout the day, into the night, and as they go to sleep. I remember feeling like the most loved little girl in the entire world when my grandmother Blanche would softly stroke my hair as i fell off to sleep, i remember her talc smell, her rings on her fingers, etched in, I was loved, she, was fully present.

I am so thankful for my peace, my ability to check in and find peace.

Do we have to say "I have to.."?

How many "have to's" are on your list today? Feeling good? Feeling ready to tackle that long exciting list of to do's?? Oh, wait....hmmmmm, just gotta talk a bit more bout my have to's...

How does your body feel when you pile on the "have to's"?

I am speaking in terms of Law of Attraction, and what are you bringing into your reality when you tell yourself you "have to" do something. Think for a moment about the emotion attached to the way we use "have to"... it is often associated with moving away from pain, it is a strong emotion which in turn has a powerful attraction capability, to alter reality to meet with what you are feeling.

When we are saying to reality "I have to....pay this debt" we are in actuality intensifying the negative vibration (predicting what will happen if this have to isn't tended to, fearing the fearsome future consequence if our particular have to is not done.) and closing ourselves to possibilities of things happening and working out in an unexpected way. Therefore attracting, not only resistance to the debt being payed but also the attraction of MORE feelings of having to do your something.

Our have to's tend to be born out of pain. "I have to walk everyday, I'll just be so fat if I don't" Chore. Drudgery, and a downer isn't it. "I have to walk, but I just didn't get round to it today, maybe tomorrow." Bingo, the have to is STILL there!

The "have to " creates the "have to" emotional state. This emotional state, right now, you can feel within you. Say for example your pile of washing is growing and growing. How to do feel when you "have to" do it?

Panic, urgency, frustration, tense, annoyance at any event that holds you up?

This is all resistant thought, resistant feelings that contribute to you being out of your power, your peace, your allowance of things unfolding and simply happening. The "have to" emotional state is charged and it's powerful. As we are pretty conditioned to "fear of the future"mode: ie, this can't happen unless my have to's get done, and if it doesn't happen everything will be ruined for ever!

It is not always "I have to go and have an awesome day!!!" most often we use this phrase while we are thinking about things that need to be done, to get us to a feeling place, somewhere in the future, where ALL tasks will be completed and you will be in peace. But!!!!! in the reality you are creating, you will continue to attract the vibration of having to do something because that is what you are telling yourself, and therefore having the experience of.

Alternative ways to tell the story of things that need to be done then. Firstly, catch yourself out about how many times in a day you actually say "i have to..", stand guard at the doorway of your mind and consciously correct yourself, give yourself an out to get to a better feeling place about a task. Because if we approach a task from a resistant state, a state of "have to", a state of disempowerment, that state of desperate need. How, how is it gonna get done with ease?
It never can.

Be in a state of positive expectation!

This puts you in your state of allowing, your vortex of infinite possibility of how something can get done, it opens you up, to not just being the sole way this task can be completed. There are infinite gifts in each situation, there are infinite ways in which something can be done. In a state of positive expectation, you can see and be open to new possibilities.

"I choose to....make the time today to....."
"I trust my ability to manage my emotions and think clearly and approach tasks in a relaxed way"
"I know this will be done"

These statements, stories that you can choose to tell yourself as an alternative to the resistant and disallowing "have to" story, are just some of the ways you can put your self in a better frame of mind about your day.

The next time your kids are taking up all of your time, and the housework is piling up, is a chance for you to choose peace and allowance over toxic stress and frustration.

Law of Attraction - Responsibility

Discovery

Ahhh...I just wanted to blog a bit about a personal development course I have recently embarked on. It is a 56 day journey in which you really get down deep into what you are really passionate about. I absolutely love it!!!!!

Basically there are these 8 paths that you journey on, as you are mentored by these really amazing people, who are living their Best Life. I am so amazed at the changes taking place within me. It is really like a total shift into this really cool awareness of each moment.

This amazing world within that you learn to tend to, so that you can really, really live anything you dream of, in your power, in real belief in your inner power. As they say "IF you don't go within, you go without."

At the moment I am on the third week of this course and it is about the Law of Attraction. woah! powerful stuff, now if you have never heard of Universal Law (it's not a new thing, it is something that as we are shifting our perception to a new paradigm of "co-creation" we are real-eyes-ing (really seeing) that we are much more than we have ever dreamed, so, so much more powerful than we have allowed ourselves to imagine.

Let me give you a little low down, the LoA is about what you give your attention, energy and focus to, you will be attracting everything of a similar vibration to that which you are feeling or putting out there. So, what are you putting out there, in your infinate power right now? Are you focusing on what it is you don't want or are you soaring, feeling good as you confidently put your dreams out there?

What ever you are putting out will attract the same vibration...now this isn't *new* to me, but what I am seeing as I flow through this course is that I have a: power over what i choose to create b: the ability to respond with awareness (response-ability) to situations taking place around me or to me. I am actually starting to really get it, and see the results of my focused awareness and attention.


I am so grateful right now that I have this course to assist me in really focusing on my life, what my passions are, how to use them to give to others, which in all truth, is what we are all really here for. To share, what we know, what we are learning, what we love, with others so that we may enrich, enliven and empower whomever we come into contact with.

There is just so much I could write about this, and sing its praises and I am sure there are great books out there about personal growth, in fact , I KNOW there are great books out there. This course however offers something unique, it is done online and in your personal journal. It is a course which for 56 days you follow instructions as you delve deep into your dreams and goal and passions, your beliefs, what are you holding onto that you no longer need, how are you speaking, responding and breathing. Committing to each day is a commitment to yourself! The rewards are so worth it!

What I love about this course is that it is daily practice and in 8 weeks you will have formed amazing habits that assist you in making the best out of each and every day you have here on this magical, realm of all possibility, Earth. <3
