Serenity

Sometimes after a coaching session I offer a deck of inspirational cards for the client to pick one.

Often it is almost creepy how accurate and poignant the message is in relation to the topic that we discussed.

This card has come up a few times in the last while so I thought I would share it with you in hopes of it giving you a message as well.

I took this photo on our property and thought it was appropriate to include.  http://www.goldenpathwaysbb.com

Enjoy!

Serenity

Serenity bestows inner peace, tranquility and calmness of mind.

When you feel serene, you are your own person, for nothing and no one can bother, upset or influence you.

You are like a calm, clear lake – beautiful and peaceful to be with.

Your quiet radiance brings hope and support to those who come from within your aura.

You attract respect and love from others, for all are calmed by you.

As you become deeply serene and still you connect to the higher powers of the Universe for divine guidance and your path in the life becomes smooth and flowing.

Quietly ask you angel to hold you in serenity.

Affirmation

I am serene and still.

“I Win Things”

I win things.  Do you?

Over the years I have won many things – it started with a trip to Mexico 30 years ago.

My husband bought the ticket and put my name on it.  I didn’t even know that he bought it.

Since I didn’t know about it – I had no resistance to it.

I have won trade show booths valued at $750, 50-50 draws, gift certificates and lots more.

I have my mind set to win things.  I don’t count on it.  I am just curious to see where and what will show up!

Today I won a door prize at the Women in Business Awards luncheon.

It was a lovely silver bracelet.  A friend came over and that’s a Pandora Bracelet -

I had to be educated on this phenomena and appreciated that it is a concept like the old charm bracelets from my early years.

It disturbs me when I hear people say “I never win anything”

- because I know that Law of Attraction will kick in and give the prize to someone else

If you are going to believe something – you may as well make it go in your favour.

At this same luncheon, I talked to Diane who was in my Dream Board class a

couple of years ago and she was telling me how she came across it recently and couldn’t believe all the things that manifested!

Today, I also talked to Kim who was telling me how she got upgraded to First Class on her flight home,

saw the most beautiful sunset while flying and randomly heard KD Lang’s song “Haleluiah”

with tears streaming down her face with appreciation of the beautiful moment.

She too “wins things” and has this underlying belief.

I have decided to upgrade my “I win things” to “I win big things”

I can feel the resistance in my body when I say that – but I do know that eventually that will be gone

and I will be telling you about the “big things I am winning”.

Although if I think about it – like Kim I have won lots of big things already!

I’ll just be curious about when the next “big thing” will show up -

and I know it works best when I forget about it and just appreciate the wonder of my world.

With appreciation,

Cora

Intentions Work

These are results I have to share with you!  I recently completed a final session with a client that I worked with for 10 months. What she was able to accomplish in the 10 month period even wowed me, and I have high standards. It is crystal clear that clarifying intentions and becoming resonant with them is a catalyst for fast and powerful change.

This client was experiencing being bullied by a colleague in the workplace. Things got so messy and out of hand that she and the employer negotiated an exit package.  She was demoralized and suffering from pain, anger and blame.  In her first session we clarified what she wanted in several areas of her life.

She couldn’t even imagine that some of those intentions were possible at the time of writing.  Yet, this process set the course of our coaching to eliminate and resolve any barrier in the way of her intentions and heals the pain.

During our completion session we went through her initial list of intentions and that was when we realized the degree that she had actually accomplished. Here are some of her achieved intentions… It was so much fun checking each one off!

Business

• I have a successful transition into consulting work (she has a very fulfilling job)
• I implement a management system of my time and tasks 
• I am calm
• I am pleasantly surprised at making 25% more than my previous job (actually she is making the same with less hours and less stress)
• I heal the “bullying” experience
• I work with positive energetic people who are professional and want to make a difference and have fun at what they are doing

Skills

• My facilitation skills are honed and I am comfortable working with large groups
• My report writing skills are enhanced
• My computer software skills are increased
• I manage myself to complete projects on time
• I manage my business, finances, name, GST
• My work is close to my home (that was interesting – a seemingly impossible situation was transferred into working from home  with occasional travel)

Who I want to Be

• I offer valuable service
• I am dynamic
• I am efficient and effective
• I have fun
• I am confident within myself at what I am doing

Relationships

• There is a healing of relationships at old workplace (she actually went back and did a workshop with the difficult people in the class and had no energetic charge)
• I feel good about myself and have self confidence
• I am not caring what others think
• I learned what I needed to learn from the past work experience (can you imagine being totally free of any charge when thinking or talking about a very traumatic event?)

Family

• My relationship with my husband is deepened and comfortable
•  My relationship with my daughter is healed (a rift has been healed)
•  I have time and energy to attend sports activities etc.  with my younger daughter

Health

• I easily make lifestyle choices that included regular exercise, eating properly and managing mental stress (still working on this and making much better choices and opportunities not imagined just show up
• I feel really well and capable in Business and Relationship Stuff
• I deliberately create my life

All of this reminds me again of how important it is to keep a record of our intentions. It doesn’t matter if our changes are subtle or dramatic – we need to celebrate them and realize how far we have come…

Clearing the Energetic Charge of a Traumatic Experience

You may be wondering how you will know whether you are complete with an unpleasant experience from the past. One thing that I have noticed is that I can’t remember the details.  While I am still hooked by the drama I can tell you who said what and feel the unfairness and experience no matter how long ago it was. 

When I have completed whatever I needed to learn or experience – I can’t remember the details.  I remember the situation but I don’t have an emotional charge – it is like it went into the history books. 

It happened; it was significant and helped me clarify what I want instead and … The best part is that I don’t have to relive the experience over and over with all the associated stress and pain.

Everything is Energy

Now if you are an intention specialist – you will notice that not all the intentions were perfectly constructed – yet she got the results.

The most important thing is the alignment of the energy  ,– this is why just writing or saying intentions doesn’t always work.  We need to become 100% resonant with them.  So each and every session we identified the barriers, limiting beliefs and baggage that prevented 100% resonance.

And since everything is energy – even limiting beliefs (our” baggage”) – we did the appropriate Pure Awareness Technique to achieve 100% resonance.  Only then can the Law of Attraction and inspired action work.

This is all very subtle work.  Sometimes there are very big ah-ah’s and awareness but many times there is just a knowing that something has changed.

So, now what…

Even though my client achieved so much – you may be wondering what is next.

There is always more to experience – more to become – more to achieve – there is a never ending expansion of personal growth.  It is why we came on this earth.  There will always be another challenge or opportunity.  Or as Esther Hicks explains “Contrast from which to create.” Even in the intentions already achieved – there are more layers and subtleties. My buddy coach offers this bit of wisdom, “Once you have stepped through the door – there is no turning back.”   The difference is – it doesn’t scare you anymore – experiencing pure awareness is just too precious.

Congratulations Shirley! I look forward to hearing more about how the world responds to who you really are – without your stories, baggage and limiting beliefs! You are an inspiration to me and to others!

 

What Happens During a WaveMaker Session?

In general, a WaveMaker™ Coaching session goes like this:

I start by asking a question like, “What area of your life would you like to have different?” or “What issue would you like to work on?”

We then determine whether the issue you’ve identified is the most important one for that day. To do this, we use muscle checking, a process whereby we access the innate wisdom of your body. (For a compelling explanation of this process, check out the book Power versus Force by renowned lecturer and physician, Dr. David R. Hawkins.)

Once the optimal issue has been clearly identified, we phrase an intention statement. An intention statement is a sentence that perfectly expresses how your life would be if the issue concerning you was completely resolved. (For example, if the issue you want to work on is your fear of public speaking, your intention statement might be, “I feel completely relaxed and comfortable in front of groups of all sizes”).

After clarifying your intention statement, we use muscle checking to determine whether we need to know what barriers in you are preventing you from having the experience that you want (i.e. what’s preventing you from feeling relaxed in front of groups). The more accurately we can determine ‘what’s really going on’ within you, the deeper and more profound a result you may have. (This is where the skill and training of the WaveMaker™ Coach matters a lot). Most commonly, what’s at the root of the problem is something related to what WaveMaker™ inventor, Tom Stone, has labeled “The 12 Core Dynamics of Common Problems”. (Scroll down for a short description.)

Next, you pick up the two brass handles of the WaveMaker™ with the machine turned on.
NOTE: The WaveMaker™ technology is not recommended for people with autoimmune disorders, those with implanted electronic devices like a heart pacemaker, or for pregnant women.

After holding the handles for a short time, we check that the issue has been thoroughly resolved (again through muscle checking). Some people feel no sensation as they use the WaveMaker™, while others experience a feeling of peacefulness or ‘resolution’ of the situation.

Finally, we will have a short discussion about what you might expect will be different as a result of the session and whether there are specific things you can do to help yourself ‘live into’ the change more easily. I will also recommend that you drink 2 liters of purified water per day for the next few days to assist your body in washing out any physical ‘residue’ that may have been released as a result of the shift in your energy field. You may also notice yourself feeling either extra-tired or extra-energized over the next few days.

The 12 Core Dynamics of Common Problems: a quick introduction to what may be causing you trouble.

If you were to spend an hour with a toddler, you would see that we, as humans, are innately designed to live completely in the present moment, trust and act on our intuition, live free of judgment, feel every emotion fully, unconditionally love, and experience ourselves as beings with limitless potential. As most of us grow, however, we encounter people and situations that gradually stop us from acting in these ways, and which create problems in our lives. The 12 Core Dynamics that evolve within us over time and cause most of our problems (and which the WaveMaker™ can eliminate) are

(The inner circles in this diagram represent the three central dynamics. The outer circles contain three commonly reoccurring patterns that stem from each three central dynamic.)

1) Resisting feeling things fully
This dynamic is based on experiences of having been overwhelmed by intense feelings when we were very young. To avoid the experience of overwhelm, we make the inner decision to resist feeling things fully. This dynamic is based on the illusion that if you feel fully, you won’t be able to handle it.
When this dynamic is absent, what you experience is, “I feel anything and everything without the fear of being overwhelmed.”

2) Ignoring your intuition
This dynamic comes from having been punished as a child for acting on your inner knowing/intuition. It is based on the illusion that if you act on your intuition, you will be overwhelmed by the consequences.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is, “I completely trust my intuition and I always act on it.”

3) Being judgmental
When we judge something (or someone) it’s to create a feeling of us being separate from it – “I’m not like that!” In reality, the things we judge reflect a part of ourselves that we don’t want to acknowledge. (When there is no ‘charge’ in us about something, we feel neutral about it.) This dynamic is based on the habit of avoiding issues that we really need to address and resolve within ourselves.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is, “Everything I experience is a part of me. I acknowledge it, embrace it and value it.”

4) Avoiding the present
When this dynamic is operating in us, we get absorbed in the stories we’ve invented about past events or we start anticipating possible negative outcomes in the future. This dynamic is based on the habit of avoiding being present and the fear that being present will be difficult. Many addictions that people experience are the result of having a number of unresolved emotions about the past that feel too intense to deal with in the present.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is, “I live completely in the present moment.”

5) Looking for yourself where you are not
When this dynamic is operating, we try to get a sense of ourselves from situations outside of ourselves. We may, for example, define ourselves by our actions, accomplishments or possessions. This dynamic is based on the illusion that we are incomplete and need something from outside ourselves to be whole.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is, “I am whole and complete.”

6) Mistaking need for love
When this dynamic is operating, we confuse love – which is unconditional and requires nothing in return – with the need to receive something from someone else. (Love lets go; need holds on.) This dynamic is based on the illusion that love is something that you get from outside yourself. Our culture constantly confuses love as need in our movies, songs and media.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is, “I love without needing anything in return and I participate in relationships of mutual giving.”

7) Resisting change
When this dynamic is present in us, we find ourselves looking for events around us to stay the same so that we can feel secure. It is based on the illusion that stability and security can be found in the changing world around us, rather than within us.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is, “I live in the delight and wonder of uncertainty.”

Limiting self-expression
Because of this dynamic, we hold ourselves back out of the fear of losing the approval of others. When we express ourselves powerfully, some people don’t like it because it makes them feel uncomfortable that they, themselves, are holding back. This dynamic is based on the illusion that if we powerfully express ourselves, we will be alone
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is, “I can be fully self-expressed without fearing loss of love from others.”

9) Trying to force an outcome
When this dynamic is operating in us, we feel compelled to ‘make things happen’ in a particular way and in a particular time frame. This dynamic is based on the illusion that we alone are responsible for what occurs in our lives, rather than a connected part of all of life.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is, “I get the sense of myself from the essential nature of who I truly am rather than from my actions or accomplishments.”

10) Excluding other perspectives
When this dynamic is present, we over-identify with our minds and think we have, and need to have, all the answers. This dynamic comes from not recognizing the difference between thinking with our mind and ‘knowing’ from our deepest level or soul.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is, “I know things from deep within myself and I know the difference between thinking and knowing.”

11) Manufacturing interpretations
When this dynamic is operating, we get overly absorbed in trying to explain or interpret events. It is based on the illusion that everything is not perfect as it is.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is,“I sense the perfection in everything even when my intellect doesn’t get it.”

12) Over-reacting to circumstances
When this dynamic is present, we become overly disturbed or distressed by what happens to ourselves or others. This dynamic interferes with our ability to maintain a strong sense of who we are under extreme circumstances.
When this dynamic is absent, what you feel is,“I feel a deep sense of equanimity (balance, calm) during experiences of pleasure or pain.”

Are You The Kind Of Person That Every Team Wants?

REGAINING YOUR ENTHUSIASM WITH POSITIVE RESULTS

 

Recently, I had a client lament that since he had decided that he was going to look for a new job, he found it difficult to be enthusiastic and committed to his current job.

 

Another client was complaining about everyone else on the team.

 

Still another client blamed the system and the boss for his situation.

 

Whether you have one foot out the door, are discouraged in your current position or just doing your job without commitment– being blasé or constantly critical can be a dangerous mistake.

 

In fact, what we focus on is what we get!  What you give attention to is what grows and expands.   When you give attention to the things around you that makes you feel bad, you tend to draw to you more “feel bad” things.  In other words, you continue to feel more of what you have projected out there.  

 

On the other hand, when you give attention to something that makes you feel good … you will tend to find more feel good kind of things.  

 

Since what you attract is based on how you are feeling, then it is very important that you feel good. Notice the things around you that make you feel good.  It is easier and much more effective to attract a perfect new job when you are feeling good in your current job.  Likewise, you are more likely to attract a positive team or an interesting project when you are the kind of person every team wants.

 

What can you do if you are not feeling good at the moment?  How can you shift those feelings?  In other words – how can you stop being hooked by everything and everyone that is going on around you?  The exercise below will guide that process for you:

·       Shift from noticing what is going on to what you want

·       Make a list of qualities that you admire in team players.  Your wish list for what you wish every body else was exhibiting.

·       Then look at the list and rate yourself – 1-10 for each quality

·       Commit to upgrading your low scores.

Here is a list of examples:

·       Enthusiasm

·       Communication

·       Preparation

·       Commitment

·       Dependent

·       Self-Improving

·       Competent

·       Adaptable

·       Solution oriented

·       Intentional

 

You may be surprised at how things will change for you.  Even in a less than desirable environment – you will notice a change in how you feel. I guarantee it.

 

Upgrading intentions

Intentions fascinate me.

First of all – how powerful they are. I love writing intentions that I don’t believe and being delighted when they unfold. 

Second of all – how deliberate they are. Sometimes I can be disappointed with a result and then I  go back and look at the words – and it was what was written – not what I was thinking would happen - but what was written. For example… when I wrote   The workshop more than meets the clients needs. I wasn’t planning on handling a difficult confrontation between participants. The workshop more than met the clients needs and I was able to facilitate it and but it had nothing to do with my carefully planned agenda. Note to self: be careful what you wish for  

Third of all – how a simple upgrade can change the vibration and results of an intention.

Here are some examples:

I am healthy and enjoy life. 

or

I create peacefulness in my mind, and my body reflects this peacefulness as perfect health.

While I would be quite happy with being healthy and enjoying life, it does feel wonderful to have peacefulness in my mind with my body reflecting it as perfect health.  With the first intention we focus on the evidence of health in our body and we can get discouraged when the evidence is contrary to our intention and  quite possibly get hooked by the negative feeling.  Negative feelings cancel out our intentions.

With the upgrade, I can focus on peacefulness.  This is something that I can do immediately with the Pure Awareness techniques and others ways. (www.unblockingyoursuccess.com)  And from the place of peace or pure awareness, I can allow perfect health. It is a gentler way with greater chances of success. We all kow  that stress is linked to health.

Let’s try another… Perhaps you have have experienced some interpersonal conflict and write something like this

I get along with my colleagues and family members.

Note the difference when this intention is upgraded to

As I move through the layers of other people’s opinions and beliefs.  I see within myself a magnificent being, wise and beautiful.  I love what I see in me.

WOW…

Do we even need words to talk about this?  When an intention is right – you can feel it.  You just know that it is reflecting your desire.

I’d love to hear how you have upgraded your intentions and how things changed for you.

Cheers,

Cora

 

In My Appreciation I Allow Myself to Receive Wonderful Things. . .

This quote from Abraham is such an awesome way to begin this blogging series.

“The best way to accomplish an improved environment is to focus upon the best things about where you currently are until you flood your own vibrational patterns of thought with appreciation, and in that changed vibration, you can then allow the new-and-improved conditions and circumstances to come into your experience.

Look for good things about where you are, and in your state of appreciation, you lift all self-imposed limitations (and all limitations are self-imposed) and you free yourself for the receiving of wonderful things.”
