Get Your Dream Life

After I had the huge highs in February from the Ascension Programme, I found that I came crashing back to Earth, as all the old beliefs about Money and Financial Prosperity came surging to the surface.

February and March were probably some of the hardest months I have had in a very long time. Everything seemed to be shut down and everything I tried only seemed to make our situation worse.

It was very frustrating and hugely stressful.

It all finally came to a head in April, when the family dog developed a nasty growth on his tail stump and needed an operation to have it removed – and I did not have the money to pay for it!

The Growth was really nasty and the more he licked it and fussed with it, the worse it got.

The Vet told us that it was going to cost over £200 (approx $300 USD) for an operation to remove this growth. This was £200 that we did not have and could not see any way of paying for it. We decided that we would wait and leave it, in the hope that either it would get better on its own or that the money would come in from somewhere and we could use it for the dog before it got swallowed up on paying for something else.

One weekend, this growth had turned really nasty and it smelt horrible. The dog was licking it at constantly and it left a horrible stain on the furniture and the carpet, everywhere he went.

At the time, I was reading a book called “Freedom Is” by Brandon Bays and in it, she talks about accepting things exactly as they are, giving up fighting and efforting and trying to change things.

This was a very strange concept to me, as I could not see how on earth that could make any difference.

There was a meditation in the book to help with this.

Out of sheer desperation, I read through it and followed the instructions, to try and find some calm, peace and perhaps some clarity as to what I could do in this situation.

During the Meditation I came to a place of accepting that the situation was exactly perfect as it was right then, it was exactly as it was meant to be and that the Universe would take care of it with no further effort from me.

I came to a place of peace and being able to accept the facts of the situation -   the dog had a huge, smelly growth on his tail stump and that I had no money to pay for surgery for him.

I did the Acceptance Meditation on a Sunday evening. As I was doing it, I felt a very strong intuitive prompt that I should phone the Vet the following morning and book the dog in to have the growth removed.

I then got a second prompt to go to the bank and ask for the money to pay for it. That second suggestion caused me to break into laughter, as I really could not see how, in a million years, any bank was gong to lend me any money!

However I followed the prompts. The appointment for the operation for the dog was set for the Wednesday of that week and the bank gave me the money I needed!!

On the Tuesday morning I put the dog out in the garden because he was licking and biting at this growth on his tail stump. When I next went outside and looked at the dog, the growth was gone!

It appeared that he had taken matters into his own teeth and had ripped off this growth and eaten it! All that was left was a little red spot. All it cost us then was about £30 (approx $50) for an appointment at the Vet and some cream for the place where the growth had been.

When I handed the matter over to the Universe to take care of, I could never have envisaged the way it would get handled!

I have found this process to be hugely powerful. Every time, I have used it, something has shifted in my energies and the situation has resolved itself.

I have created my own Acceptance package to help with this process. It has an ebook, which explains how to use it and also a guided meditation, to help you to come to a place of peace over  situation that may be causing you stress in your life.

I will be writing more on this subject because I think it is hugely important and it has helped me enormously in my life.

Clear Limiting Beliefs and Blocks to Success

Following on the theme of Clearing Out the Old and Welcoming in the New, there are a few very effective things you can do to make sure that you have well and truly let go of any old stuff that may still be hampering you in your Success efforts today.

We have just had a NEW MOON on 15th January 2010. This was enhanced by a very rare solar eclipse, which unfortunately we were not able to see in Northern Europe.

The NEW MOON is about new beginnings. Having let go of the things that do not serve you, now is the time to set in motion the new plans and dreams for the coming year.

If you are holding on to Anger or Frustration or Resentment or Guilt or Shame or Pain in any Negative form about a person or a situation from the past, then  that may be stopping you from moving forward with your new goals, plans and intentions for 2010.

One incident may be the start of a repeating pattern, where a similar situation has happened on numerous occasions with different people. However, the energy of the situations and the feelings you had about it and yourself will often be very similar.

So, for example, a current situation around a lack of money flow may have a lot to do with unhelpful feelings from experiences in your childhood.

The good news is that this stuff is quite easy to identify and clear. We are also now helped by the Triple auspicious Full Moon that we had on 31^st December 2009 and also by the fact that the energies on the Earth are accelerating.

This means that releasing “old stuff” can be done faster than ever and we can manifest the things of our choosing faster than ever before.

When doing any sort of clearing work, one of the most important things to do is to really allow yourself to get into the FEELING of the matter. The FEELING is even more important than the person or the situation, although that can be a good trigger to get you started.

Get yourself a JOURNAL, which is going to be for your eyes only.

1)     Set an intention that you will allow yourself to quickly and easily identify and release whatever may be holding you back in any area of your life.

2)     Think about something you would like in your life and ask yourself “Why don’t I yet have what I want?” and listen for the answers that are coming. You may want to add onto that “Whose fault is it?” That is often a good question for stirring up old feelings and buried FEELINGS.

3)     As the answers come up, write them down, especially how you FEEL about this situation or any people that are involved. Let yourself really experience those feelings in your body.

4)     Keep writing until you feel those initial feelings start to subside and then notice what is underneath.

5)     Ask yourself “What beliefs do I hold about myself for all this to be true?” The answers will bubble up very quickly.

I started the process in December in a slightly different way. I started with my childhood and simply wrote about my family, my childhood, the experiences of growing up and the main people and situations that had affected me.

Almost immediately I saw a pattern emerging of how I had felt and I could see repetitions of those same feelings right into my adult life today.

These were my perceptions and I am sure my family did not intend for me to react and feel that way.

Very quickly feelings of being unloved, unwanted, not deserving of attention, always being in the way, being a financial burden to people around me began to surface. This was accompanied by feelings of not being listened to, of not matching up to the expectations of my family and a good dose of anger and resentment.

What also began to emerge was not feeling valued by others and subsequently not having valued myself in my working life and personal relationships.

The word that sprang to mind for me was ABUSE.

As a child I had felt powerless and not able to stand up for myself in what might be termed “abusive” situations, where people had shouted at me or criticised me or not supported me.

As an adult, I seemed to attract working situations where I allowed other people to determine my income and whether I would get paid or not and allowed others to take from me and put up with quite intolerable “abusive” situations.

Personal relationships, prior to meeting my wonderful husband Greg, had been very similar. I had put myself in situations where I had agreed to things when I really wanted to run a mile in the opposite direction and had put myself in situations where I had allowed others to “abuse” me or failing that where I could “abuse” myself.

Once I was able to VENT all of this in my JOURNAL, I could then move to the next step.

6)     You can then make a choice as to whether you want to hang onto those feelings or whether you want to let them go. It really is that simple.

If there are other people involved, you probably won’t be able to change them or their attitude, although once you start clearing work on yourself, you may well be very surprised at the effect it has on other people. I know I was!

You cannot change the events of the past; however you can choose whether or not you want to carry around the emotional pain of those events any longer.

7)     Burn the Journals or get rid of them. Once you have released those feelings, you don’t really want to go back over them.

8)     Clear away any residual with some gentle relaxations and meditations. The Pen and Paper exercises and the meditations work very well together because they can help to clear and release even the deepest rooted beliefs. Sometimes you may not want to bring old stuff into your awareness and that is absolutely fine or it may be that some of the memories require professional help to deal with. If that is the case, seek the help you need.

I have been helping people to identify and clear limiting beliefs for some time now, with some fantastic successes, ranging from Becky who cleared her fear in order to accomplish her dream of skydiving, to Jayne who changed careers from a prison officer to a hypnotherapist to many others who have cleared away limiting beliefs in order to do magical things in their lives.

I have put together a short video for you that explains a bit more about Limiting Beliefs and how to identify and Clear them.

I have put together a very special package of ALL of my most powerful CLEARING materials, including the audios from my Personal CHANGING LIVES COACHING PROGRAMME, my best-selling CLEAR LIMITING BELIEFS AUDIO RELAXTION, as well as a powerful meditation to clear unhelpful beliefs that have come down through the generations.

For more information, please check out the links below.

Clear Limiting Beliefs NOW!

Take advantage of the fast moving energies at the moment to quickly and easily clear away anything that does not serve you, so you can set your Intentions for 2010 and confidently expect them to come to you, easily and effortlessly, without being hampered by the lingering effects of old, non-serving stuff.

Wipe the slate clean and stride confidently into the new decade!

With abundant blessings.

Amanda Goldston

Last night, New Year’s Eve, 31^st December was quite a rarity! Not only was it the 13^th Full Moon of the Year (which apparently only happens every 2.7 years) and it was the second Full Moon in December 2009, it was also a Full Moon on New Year’s Eve, which according to the Space Watch Website, only happens once every 25 years, it was also a Lunar Eclipse.

The triple combination apparently only happens once in every 100 years!

This was a fitting end to 2009 and to the decade that has been termed the “Noughties.”

We watched the eclipse through Greg’s new telescope and he took some terrific pictures.

Full Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse by Greg Goldston

The Full Moon is traditionally about endings. It is a time to let go of what has happened and to look forward to new and wonderful things.

I received a very timely email from my friend Elly Yule of  http://EssencetialLife.blogspot.com about the New Moon and I would like to quote some of what she said.

“This is the night to write down your Gratitude List for the past decade, including the not so good stuff which helped us to grow and learn so much.  Then write down your wishes and intentions for the year ahead and the next decade.  Think and write carefully, as this triple auspicious Moon is very powerful.”

Greg and I decided we would do exactly that. We sat down with a large mug of Tea each and a box of chocolates and began to review the last decade.

The more we talked about it, the more we realised that we have done a huge amount of different things and the wonderful things far outweighed the negative.

When we looked at the span of a decade, the challenges of the last 12 months sort of paled into insignificance.

When we brought the children into this process, it was interesting to note that the things they remembered were ALL good times. They were about holidays, birthday parties, time with family and friends, laughter and fun.

So, if children can so easily remember all the GOOD times, why on earth do we, as adults, focus on all the BAD stuff and things that went wrong and things we felt that couldn’t do or we missed out on?

Maybe that is “grown-up, adult logic” that is based in “reality” and has stopped believing in magic and miracles!

YES TO:

Having completed part ONE, we started to look at part TWO – the things we would like to experience in our lives.

The idea of  saying YES TO things seems to have worked very well for us recently, so we thought we would continue in that same vein.

On my bookshelf, I found a beautiful note-book with fairies all over the front of it, which I think had been discarded by a child at some point. Very fitting!

We started our YES TO list with simple things, like

• All bills being easily paid
• Ongoing sales and income coming in
• New clock mechanism for Jacqueline’s pottery clock she made
• Paying for next exams
• Half season football ticket for Greg

And this quickly built up to :

• Trips to London to see several musicals (Stephanie and Jacquline)
• Hot air balloon trip ( I have wanted to do that for so long)
• New HD TV (Greg)
• Photographic trips (for Greg and Jacqueline)

And right up to:

• Trip on the Hogwarts Express in Scotland (Yes, it really exists)
• 3 weeks in Florida, including a 7 day Caribbean Cruise on Disney’s latest Cruise ship, staying in the top of the range Walt Disney Suite

It was a thoroughly wonderful experience and it allowed us to start dreaming again and to start allowing wonderful experiences to come into our lives.

That is one thing, I have to say, has been rather sadly lacking in 2009. We had stopped asking and stopped expecting good things to come to us. Not surprisingly, we had got exactly what we had expected!

The YES TO book, is now sitting on my desk, with 4 Tiger’s Eye crystals on the top of it, which are also supposed to be good for bringing prosperity.

I have started to see some quite amazing (and totally unexpected) results from all my emotional clearing efforts, which I will tell you about another day.

Suffice to say, 31^st December 2009 has marked the end of some huge, long-standing negative stuff and the start of bridges being built to a much better situation.

I would highly recommend the exercises we have done. The energy of the Full Moon is around for a couple of days yet, so there is still time to do them!

Happy New Year everyone!

With abundant blessings.

Out With The Old and In With The New

Well, as 2009 draws to a close, this is a time for reflection on the year that has gone and for celebration of the New Year to come.

2009 has certainly been a challenging year for the Goldston family. We seem to have struggled with money all year. It has been a year of really tightening the purse strings and reducing the household budget to a minimum.

Yet we have survived. We are still all here to tell the tale. Interestingly, although we seem to have had an almost day to day existence, money seems to have always showed up exactly as we have needed it.

Having said that, I was looking back through the diary and I have been quite amazed at how much we have done on a shoestring budget.

There have been several cinema trips to see great films (in the UK, Orange mobile phone network do a 2-4-1 offer on all cinema tickets on a Wednesday), we have had picnics and fantastic dog walks, the girls have done dancing and trampolining, dancing and various other activities with home education groups and a fantastic trip to see an outdoor theatre production of “Wind in the Willows” – completed, quite naturally, under the torrential rain of British Summer!

The Italian student who was staying with us at the time really could not quite see the appeal of shaking with the cold and trying to eat soggy sandwiches and even soggier salad!

Money Lessons

So, what have we learnt from all this? I think the biggest thing has been far better money management. We have managed on the cash that we have had at any given moment and we have had to plan very carefully what we have bought and whether we really desperately needed “it”, whatever that might be.

In some senses, we have stopped dreaming and wanting and in other senses, we have really had to be very clear on priorities. I think it has taught all of us to be more prudent.

At times it has been quite a temptation to say the fatal dream-killing phrase- “No, we can’t afford it!” and sometimes it has been a struggle to focus on “how can we do that?” If something has been REALLY important, then it has happened- somehow, by hook or by crook, with a good dose of Universal Divine intervention from time to time!

There has been a lot greater co-operation between us as a family as we have worked together to make something happen – and then made sure that we have really enjoyed it.

YES TO

During December, we started to focus on what we could say YES to. A lot of these were quite simple things, such as all bills being paid easily, buying some Christmas presents, phone top-ups, an enjoyable Christmas Carol service, fun and laughter in the house, paying for children’s exams, finding gorgeous advent calendars and catching up with bills from the previous month.

I have to say this worked remarkably well and we have had great satisfaction from crossing things off the list as we have been able to do them.

During December I have been really looking at myself and wondering what I can do to turn all of this around. Focusing on what we can say YES TO and focusing on the more positive aspects of life has certainly helped.

Toxic People

I also began to review the people that I have spent a lot of time with over the last year and noticed that my financial problems seemed to mirror theirs and their problems seemed to mirror mine. So, it was probably a mutual reflection of lack mentality!

However I also started to observe how I felt when I had finished conversations with and mostly we had gone round and round in negative stuff and I felt pretty rotten. I decided I needed to have a “negative, draining people detox” and that has been one of the hardest things I have done this year!

I have had to have a really good look inside myself and look at the beliefs I am holding about myself, money, abundance, opportunities and life in general because those beliefs are reflected in the people and opportunities I have attracted into my life.

Some of it has not been very pretty!

I have been very fortunate to have a very wise teacher come into my life in December and I will tell you more about him in due course.

Healing, Releasing and Cleansing

He is taking me through a programme of feeling-based healing and clearing and it is very long overdue!

I have been busy journaling about my childhood and my adolescence and things that made me angry and upset, as well as how I felt about absolutely everything.

So far I am on my fourth journal book!

I have done these kinds of exercises before, yet somehow they were intellectual exercises.  I had never really got in touch with the deep-rooted feelings of anger, resentment, feeling unwanted and unloved and abandoned and all the other feelings of inadequacy and not being worthy or deserving of anything wonderful in life.

This is actually a very therapeutic exercise to do and I would highly recommend it for getting rid of old, unhelpful beliefs and stuff that you really don’t need.

It is important to get in touch with the feelings and allow yourself to actually feel them. You may find that thinking of a particular person or a situation will trigger off all the memories. The feelings around that event are more important than the event itself.

Let yourself VENT in your journal!

Whatever you wanted to say to the person or people involved at the time, say it in your journal, with every choice expletive you can think of! This journal is for your eyes only and you will probably want to burn it when you have finished.

One person from my childhood took up several dozen pages of my 30 years of suppressed venom! As I wrote I felt the anger and pain increase and it is important to keep writing and express every last ounce of it, as best you can in words.

Once I had exhausted myself and my choice of words, the anger started to subside and I actually began to feel a sense of compassion and understanding for why they acted liked they did. Yes, that totally blew me away!

I came to realise that I could not change what had happened and that person will probably never explore themselves enough to make any changes. However, I do not need to carry around that pain any longer as it does not serve me and has probably greatly contributed to my weight problems over the years. No, that does not mean I have to like that person, however I can now separate me from them!

It is so powerful to clear away old stuff from the past. It is only by freeing ourselves from the baggage of the past that we can then really make contact with those Higher Aspects of ourselves, such as intuition, inspiration and creativity.

Let Go of What DOES NOT SERVE You

I have been helping other people to clear limiting beliefs for some time and I now realise that where we have had the greatest breakthroughs has been where people have allowed themselves to clear away the negative feelings behind the beliefs, rather than it being merely a superficial, intellectual, surface exploration.

Once I started to open myself up to letting go of things that do not serve me, some interesting questions started to emerge, such as “Why I am holding onto the stress of worrying about debts and money and the mortgage and whether or not we are going to lose to house and whether we need to go down the bankruptcy route?” and “How does that really serve me other than to block off my creativity and cause me to be irritable and bad tempered?”

Money and Home

The answer is that none of that serves me. Maybe bankruptcy is the ultimate release, the ultimate starting again and perhaps it is time to let go of this old house that needs a lot of money spending on it in a top-to-bottom renovation.

Once I came to a place of being willing to totally let go and surrender myself to the Highest and Best Outcome, I felt a sense of calm and peace come over me and options started to present themselves. Once I had come to terms with what might be the worst possible eventuality, other possibilities started to pop in my head and I found myself much calmer as I was writing letters to banks and other hassling people.

Death of My Nan

Just before Christmas, my beloved Nan died, after a long illness and I can tell you, it is no fun when you are wrapping Christmas presents and trying to get into the Christmas Spirit, with cheesy Christmas songs playing wherever you go, when you feel like your heart is breaking!

Nan has had pages and pages devoted to her in my journal as I have tried to come to terms with the very mixed feelings I had about her and her life. Up until about 10 years ago, she was an incredibly active lady. She still cooked and cleaned and looked after the children, as well as flying half way round the world (twice) to see her other daughter and family.

She was a total inspiration, with huge amounts of energy and time for everyone. She lived life to the full and when she felt tired, she sat down for a little nap.

On Christmas Day 2000, she fell in the bath and cracked her fibula bone at the top of her knee. She spent a few weeks with a splint and never walked unaided again after that. It was as though she gave up on life and seemed to want nothing more than to sit in her chair and have everyone take care of her.

It was so sad to see this once vibrant woman deteriorate over that time. She went into a nursing home in December 2001 and in time, her not wanting to do anything turned into her being totally unable to do anything and her health deteriorated considerably, with this last year being the very worst.

Inspiration

I remember her as one of the biggest inspirations of my childhood. She was so strong and so capable, yet always had welcoming arms for a big hug.

She was the only person that I felt was a stable, consistent support for me as I was growing. She never once judged my dreams or told me that something was not possible. Although her comments were often a rather non-committal, “that’s nice, dear” there was never any criticism or lack of encouragement.

She calmly took everything in her stride, even when I shouted at my Grandad for his lack of patience with teaching me to drive or my temper or my ingratitude!

There were always welcoming arms and a nice cup of tea and a biscuit or a piece of home-made cake to make anything better – from bruised knees to a broken heart!

Life and Death really does go in cycles

Nanny died on 21^st December 2009 and on 23^rd December 2009, my cousin’s wife gave birth to a baby boy! Nan’s funeral is on New Year’s Eve, 14 years to the day when my Grandad, her husband died, when I was pregnant with my second daughter!

Blessings and Abundance

As 2009 draws to an end, we can close the chapter on the highs and lows of that year and look forward to 2010. This is a year where I am going to concentrating much more on really experiencing the FEELING of everything I am doing.

As I have been clearing out the old stuff, I have realised how truly blessed I am with a wonderful family, a fantastic husband, amazing kids (and a mad rottweiler that totally fits in with the family!) and how much real abundance I have in my life.

Intentions and Focus for 2010

In 2010 I shall be focusing on things which give me real pleasure and are so much fun to do, such as writing and creating tarot based products. I have got loads of ideas that I am working on.

I have decided to give the Universe some instructions to bring me the exact right people who can help with the marketing and promotion of my products and attracting film makers and TV people to me.

This can free me up to do what I love to do, which is to CREATE!

In 2010 I am going to be working to my strengths and delegating the rest to people who love those things, so that we can create win-win situations for everyone.

As Joseph Campbell said, “Follow Your Bliss!” and that is what I am going to be doing in 2010.

Wishing you a wonderful New Year and a fantastic 2010.

With abundant blessings.

I have had quite a few emails about my last post- “The Power of YES”, so I decided to share with you some of the current things on my YES TO list.

Not so very long ago, when we were in a better flow of financial abundance, I would have taken many of these things completely for granted. I would have just bought them or acquired them  or done them and never given it a second thought.

Now, I find myself really looking at what is the most important thing, the biggest priority, the most necessary and the things which are going to give me most value- and that is not just from a monetary point of view.

This is also very tied into the feelings of GRATITUDE, although to me this feels very different from the exercises I have done before where I have said my list of I am GRATEFUL for Greg, my children, my friends etc.

I have never really got on with that approach and never really managed to create deep feelings of gratitude with that approach.

Somehow the feelings I have now, when something comes into my life that I have said YES to, are different. Maybe there is more genuine gratitude and appreciation. I can’t quite put my finger on it.

When you live totally from day to day, as we have found ourselves doing for months now, you tend to find yourself trusting much more in the Universe or a greater power (call it what to will) to provide for your basis needs.

OK, this is sometimes at the 59th minute of the 11th hour, however things seem to turn up as needed.

Maybe that is the difference between finding ourselves in that place of having to trust in the Universe and treating the Universe as a sort of shopping catalogue, that delivers every whim as requested!

So, here goes. Here are a few of things on my YES TO List for December:

• YES to ALL bills easily paid
• YES to Christmas presents for the family
• YES to Daily dog walks
• YES to Greg going to a couple of football games
• YES to Christmas Carol Concert and German Markets
• YES to Greg getting his Astronomy assignment done
• YES to Paying for next round of children’s exams
• YES to Christmas Pantomine
• YES to Finishing 2 outstanding bank/mortgage letters
• YES to Visiting family at the other end of the country
• YES to Cell phone top ups
• YES to Catching up with kids’ pocket money
• YES to Cinema discount card
• YES to finding right pieces for next Speech and Drama exams
• YES to moving my autoresponders and databases to a new server

When we worked out the total cost of the whole list, it did not really come to a huge amount. Although anything seems like a lot, when you are playing “elastic pennies” (that is-  how far does it stretch?).

Some of the items have no cost to them, however by saying YES to completing them, there is a whole new energy and momentum around them.

One of the items we had on the list was Advent Calendars for all of us. We had struggled to find any, which were not cheap and tacky or ridiculously expensive!

However, today, Greg went to the local market and found 4 advent calendars, 2 with yummy Cadbury’s chocolate in them and 2 with even yummier Divine Freetrade Chocolate in them.

As today is the 1st December, the calendars were greatly reduced, to the princely sum of £1 each! (reduced from £5 each).

Thank You Universe, that was a very important YES TO delivered to us at a very affordable price!

In creating our YES TO list, we have put things on there that we intend to do anyway. However, when we then do them, it makes it all the more enjoyable and there is a huge satisfaction in crossing them off the list.

What’s on your YES TO List?

I would love to hear about  some of the things you choose to say YES TO over the next few weeks and also when they come into your life.

Have a great day.

With abundant blessings.

We have had an interesting year- to say the least. We have lurched from one financial challenge to another and seemed to have attracted people wanting to attack or destroy us or situations where we have put a lot of effort into something for nothing in way of return.

In the case of finances, they have been probably the lowest they have ever been, yet somehow we have survived all year on little more than fresh air. Life has come down to an existence level, financially, and this has led to a dropping away of things and stuff that really are not that important.

When it comes to priorities, those have been the basics of food, shelter and the children’s education. Despite there being very little coming in to house, we have managed to find plenty of things to do that are free or very low cost.

Part of this financial situation has definitely been of our own making because we have been fighting banks, credit card and mortgage companies and have spent most of the last year caught up in that stuff, which is incredibly negative and draining. Interestingly, or perhaps not, the more we have fought these people, the angrier we have got and the more our income has dropped.

I suppose, I could add in a dose of “recession” and “nobody’s buying anything,” however I know of plenty of people who are still making good money online and offline – Well, at least they are claiming they are and their lifestyle does not seem to have changed very much!

We have had a very negative year as far as fighting stupid nonsense from the UK government over the proposed annual licensing, registration, monitoring and all round interference and fear-creation over home-education.

That has taken up a HUGE amount of time and has ended up being a totally futile exercise!

So, what’s the point to me telling you all of this?  No, it is not to whinge and moan.  I have finally come to realise what the pattern is with all this.

I have spent most of the year in ANGER and FIGHTING and I have been shouting NO at people and situations. Is it then any wonder that the Universe has got very confused when I have started a new opportunity or a new project and I have tried to create something positive from what has been essentially a very destructive and negative place.

How can the message get through for the Universe to deliver me lots of extra cash -  which is what I would really like – when I am saying “I am fed up with having NO money, I am fed up with saying “NO” when the kids ask for stuff or want to go out, I am fed up with mending old clothes, I am sick of doing stuff for free and nothing coming back to me from anywhere!”

Interestingly, or perhaps not, the people I have spent most time with this year have been in a similar place!

I began to realise the power of what I had been creating a few weeks ago, when my computer had just crashed for about the 10th time that day and I was due to do a radio show with my friend, Ken MacLean. When I finally got on the show, I was so worked up, that the energy that shot through cyber-space caused his computer browser to crash!!!! Ken is in the USA and I am in the UK!

What really brought this home to me was a post that I read from a fellow  UK home – educator, who said that she was getting very negative about all this fighting against things and shouting NO at the government and the Local Authorities.

She went on to say that she would feel a lot better if she had a list of things she was FIGHTING FOR or SUPPORTING.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw this.

I realised that she was absolutely right. It is much better to SAY YES to: Personal Liberty, Freedom to educate our children as we wish, the power to choose how much ( if any) contact we had with Local Education Authorities and the Government and so the list went on.

She had taken every one of the “FIGHT AGAINST List” and turned it into an empowered “YES to List.”

Nothing new here, you might say. It is an age-old thing that we have to focus on the things we desire and choose and not on the things we don’t want. Agreed. However it is much easier said than done!

For me that was a turning point.

Greg, my husband, and I then went through a list of all the things we were prepared to say YES to in our lives. It started with simple (and FREE) things such as YES to : – a daily dog walk, a daily mediation, a gorgeous Sunday lunch and we added into that all the things we would like to attract to us, including more money,  business ideas growing and flourishing, people buying our products and services, all bills easily being paid, new books, a holiday and so on.

It was amazing how much lighter we felt after we had done that. We also noticed how easy it was for “crap-stuff” about money to come creeping back in.

We then took this a stage further and looked at the list of jobs that needed doing for the next day and decided to say YES to them rather than No and then to actually DO them.

What followed was one of the most productive weekends we have had in a long time. Instead of groaning and making a fuss over writing unpleasant letters, I put them on my YES TO List and sat down and wrote them.

We now make a point at bedtime to discuss the day in terms of things we have said YES to, whether that is getting a bank charge removed, or doing something around the house that we have been putting off, or returning a phone call or an email. What has shifted here has been that Greg and I would ask each other to do something and we were both very prone to saying “yeah, I’ll do it” and then not doing it, which is a source of great frustration and nagging.

As we have started to focus on things that we can say “YES” to right now, even the simplest of things, the whole situation is starting to change. Help is coming to us, opportunities have arrived and we have made decsions from a place of saying “YES to” or essentially “WE CHOOSE” rather than “NO” and “WE FIGHT AGAINST.”

This was also reinforced by friends, who I had shunned, who have come back into my life with a lot of useful and constructive help and support.

One of those friends had allowed his life to turn around over the last few months from a place that was worse than ours to a much better place. He told me he started meditating on a daily basis and visualizing the completion of a long-cherished dream. As he experienced the sights, sounds, thoughts and feelings of this, things started to unfold, people and opportunities came into his life and the dream has started to become a reality.

As I started to practise this same technique, I realised I had allowed myself to wallow so much in negativity and “I can’t” that I had stopped dreaming and stopped asking and did not really know what I truly wanted any more and had come to expect the answer to my requests to be a resounding NO!

This was where the “YES TO” game then came in very useful to start to stimulate the allowing and acceptance into my life.

We also made some decisions in relation to all the bank stuff, which turned out to be a considerable release and completely the opposite of all the angry fighting I have been doing for months.

What Greg and I came to realise is that the single most important thing to us is our children and that our family stays together. The rest of it sort of falls into place around that. Lack of money is often one of the biggest factors that breaks up relationships and families.

Having survived this past year and the magical money-stretching-and-expansion that seems to have taken place, our family  is stronger than ever.

I would ask you now to think about what you can say YES TO in your life and start to do those things or allow them to come to you.

It has been very powerful for us.

I made a Mind Movie last week with some of my short term goals, which you can see on the post below.

They were not goals that I would consider to be particularly huge. However they are a step forward from where I am now.

I started to watch the video repeatedly and a very interesting thing began to happen.

And it was NOT the massive success I desired.

As I watched the video, I started to hear a little voice in my head asking me some very unhelpful questions, such as “Why are you bothering?”, “You won’t do that?” “You’ve done all this goal setting stuff before, you don’t really believe any of it is going to happen, so what’s the point?”

As I started hearing this stuff coming up, I realised it was old limiting beliefs and thought patterns, that I thought I had long since cleared, that were making their presence felt.

Hmm, interesting.

I felt so inspired by my Mind Movie, yet at the same time, felt a mounting sense of frustration and almost powerlessness with it.

Maybe all this old junk about my self worth, my value, my deservedness to have money and abundance in my life, was what was stopping me from allowing it to come into my life?

I came to the conclusion that it was high time I did something about it. I pulled out my material on Clearing Limiting Beliefs and blocks to Success and started working with it. In under a week I attracted in nearly £1000 ($1500) of unexpected income!

It may be that you also have some old, unhelpful limiting beliefs lurking about, which are wrecking havoc with your success plan.

I have made a short video for you explaining how to quickly identify and clear any limiting beliefs, so that when you make your Mind Movie with your goals, you can allow the abundance to come into your life in double-quick time.

There has been a lot happening to us over the past few months.

One of the main things has been learning to live in the moment and go with the flow of what each day brings to us. It has been quite amazing how our needs have been met, sometimes at the very 11th hour, yet everything seems to have worked out for the best.

I have got lots of exciting projects that I have been working on to create abundance.

I recently had my first book published- “Develop Your Intuition Through Tarot”, which is now available through most major book sellers. This is designed to help you to use Tarot Cards as a way of tapping into your Intuition and your own inner resources.

I have been doing a lot of work recently with showing people how to use Tarot cards for fun and personal growth. I now have two weekly Tarot related radio shows, which you can read about on the News and Events page.

I am now part of a terrific community called Spirit Quest Radio, which is Radio for the Mind, Body and Soul.

Changing Lives Coaching

My Changing Lives Coaching Programme has grown in leaps and bounds. I still offer personal coaching to identify and clear limiting beliefs and blocks to  success in about 2 hours.

I have converted the whole programme into an audio programme that you can listen to and work with in your own time. It includes all the powerful questions and meditations as the personal coaching.

I recently ran a teleclass, explaining exactly how the process works and how you can use if for yourself. You can hear the full audio on the link below:
