December Blog

For nearly 17 years I have been writing a monthly newsletter/blog on my website. 

I always channel the content; my Spirit Guides tell me exactly what they want me to pass on to my readers each month.  Each year has some sort of cosmic, or – you might even call it Divine – theme to it:  every month has its own component, related to that bigger theme. 

This past year’s theme has had to do with the concept of creating more prosperity.

As the year for greater prosperity winds to a close, there are several more things to keep in mind about creating prosperity.  In fact these are amongst the most important:  being generous; being grateful; being gracious; giving easily, effortlessly and frequently – have giving become a habit.  For over 20 years one of my most frequently used phrases when teaching prosperity is, “Gratitude is exponential.”  When off-the-charts gratitude is combined with generosity, there is a spark ignited that literally enhances what it is you are trying to create in life. 

Many people I know and work with say that they’re grateful for what they have – and even mean it.  However, many of these same people don’t have the other important quotient – of generosity.  Being grateful but holding onto money and/or lack of generosity will actually block or stop the flow of abundance and what one is trying to create in life.

Since I’m extraordinarily grateful for you who read my blog and since generosity is part of my nature anyway, I’m offering a holiday special this month (good through 31 January 2010).  Another aspect of prosperity is allowing oneself to receive.  So here is the offer:  For every appointment you book, you will receive a session equal to half the time you booked, for yourself or to be given as a gift.  This has to be mentioned when you book your initial appointment.

Louise Hay, owner of Hayhouse Publishers ( www.hayhouse.com ) is an extremely grateful person.  I had a radio show in the mid-90s in the San Francisco area.  It ended up being a show where I interviewed Hay House authors such as Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Maria Williamson and Doreen Virtue.  I actually interviewed Louise on one of my shows – even though she wasn’t doing any interviews whatsoever (as she told me then, she was showing gratitude to me for having been so good to her authors and for promoting them so well).  That entire show was centered around the concept of the importance of gratitude.

Louise talked about how she had a very difficult life all the way into her mid-fifties.  She had been abused, had a lot of health issues – and stated that she probably wasn’t going to make it through.  But she worked on turning her life around so much back then, that she is a healthy, happy, extremely abundant woman of 82; she was on Oprah’s show at least twice this year.

One of the primary ways she feels she turned her life around was to give gratitude for everything in her life that went well for a change, back then.  I’ll always remember her saying on my show when she wakes up every morning, she gives thanks for the air in the room to help her breathe again in the morning, for her bed clothes that supported and nurtured her in the night, ditto the sheets and pillows; plus the walls around her that protected her during the night. I know I still have the tape of the show, somewhere…

Even though at that time I thought it was a little bit much, I woke up a couple of days later feeling that my already in place “attitude of gratitude” could be even amped up more than it was.  So, I then began to thank things around my home for making me smile, having me feel a sense of well-being, and so on.  I immediately related in a new way to how everything holds a vibration.  For example if you think of a junkyard where old, wrecked cars have gone and imagine the way it would feel if you walked around there – it holds the trauma and feelings – or energy – of the people who lost their car and perhaps their health as they lost their car.  Along the same vein, whatever you have been feeling, on either end of the spectrum (i.e., on one end, depression, illness, worry about money, anger, jealousy etc. OR the other end, gratitude, happiness, surprise such as at Christmas, love, romance etc.) will be in all the things around you in your home, clothes, car, etc.  The good news is, you can learn to transform any energy you don’t want into something more positive.  Although I mentioned this earlier this year, I know I’ll be bringing it up again in 2010!

Try being grateful in this way, yourself:  start saying “thank you” perhaps to living things in your home such as your plants or animals; believe me, they will pick up the thought form behind the words and will send you back the same vibration.  When you start noticing yourself feeling better by doing this experiment, try thanking your sweater at nighttime for keeping you warm during the day, for example.  After a few days of doing this, you most probably will put the sweater on feeling a little bit better – about putting it on.  In other words, your underlying intention (your intention is extremely powerful towards what you create…I covered this a few times during this past year) of instilling the vibration of gratitude in the sweater will actually have worked to some degree and you will feel something more positive along the lines of happiness – whether or not you actually feel gratitude, you will feel something more positive – play around with this with everything you own.  As I’ve mentioned a few times this year, water and fluids definitely take on the vibrations of people around the water.  So capitalize on knowing this and project this attitude into your water or soft drink bottles!  In the U.S., there are several companies that sell bottled water with a single word on the outside that the owners have infused with the quality of that word.  I’ve even seen some in Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge (fifth floor) during this year.  Gratitude is one, others are joy, love, health.  Why not take a marking pen and write one of those words on each bottle of water that you buy from the supermarket?  If you do you’ll start to resonate with how the water tastes differently – even ever so slightly.  Better to recycle that bottle to honor the energy it gave you; if you need to toss it out, bless the bottle for the energy it gave you before you toss it.

Here’s something else about gratitude – people who aren’t able to say thank you easily or withhold it intentionally are more prone towards getting arthritis than people who are able to flow with the vibration of – gratitude.  The old mind/body connection…

Speaking of how water and other liquids pick up the emotions of people innately, and as well as how you can transform these liquids yourself by the intention of putting in/adding a vibration – you can also add a certain vibration, such as prosperity, to an image or picture – even by printing it out from your computer.  Learn to add a feeling through your intention (plus repetition) to an image and you will actually enhance the energy of whatever it is you are trying to create.  Everything has an energy to it, including events, acquisitions, relationships, trips, etc.  When you get close to 100% of the energy it takes to create something, you will have created it!  Adding energy to an image about what you want to create really will help you create it.  The image is just a way of focusing your energy on the ideal.

One of my purposes in life is to be a conduit for other people’s information to get out into the world.  Here’s a newsletter I feel is worthy of signing up for.  www.TimSanders.com   I have heard Tim speak several times, and had a chance to talk to him once.  He was one of the founders of Yahoo, and is absolutely brilliant.  Tim is focusing on abundance (…i.e., prosperity) for December also.  Read his perspective…! 

Back in November I mentioned that I’d come back to the idea that prosperity is like a wave.  The more you send out, the more comes back to you…  Back in the 1980s, I read in a book of Deepak Chopra’s (it was either Creating Affluence or The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success) that you must spend money to make money; you have to let it flow out in order to have it come back.  It hit me like a thunder bolt and I’ve lived by that ever since.  Hoarding is contractive; spending is expansive.  This may seem selfish to some people who think spending liberally is not spiritual, but I feel if you are working on any lesson that helps you to have a higher belief system re anything, this can be seen as a spiritual approach.  Try working with this new approach re spending money on gifts this December:  Instead of thinking how much this is costing you, try to flow with the concept of wanting to have a new belief system, that includes having more come back than what you spend -- easily.  Your Spirit Guides will absolutely help you with this.

Everyone has distorted belief systems around money.  Some come from other lifetimes, while some come from our families’ beliefs and attitudes around the issue; others we soak up, constantly, from the current culture – magazines such as People, Us, Vogue and Elle; television shows and movies, peer pressure etc. 

Believe it or not, beliefs can be fluid versus rigid.  (…only a little bit of a pun was intended here!)  But it’s important to know that whatever you believe, you create.

This year, 2009, was a tough year for many re prosperity.  Pluto has been very active this year in shaking many of our old world order systems.  I feel 2010 will be a different year for everyone.

Next year the cosmic theme is about HOPE. 

HAPPY PROSPEROUS HOLIDAYS!!!
