I greet every event of my life as something purposeful. There are no accidents, only messages and opportunities to learn from that show me again and again my connection to All That Is.

The universe constantly communicates with all of us; we need only recognize this and allow ourselves to learn a new sort of language.  This can be called living shamanically; it means staying in perfect tune with the world, especially the natural one, at all times. The answers to our questions are everywhere…in the insect that is in front of our foot, in the conversation taking place next to us, in the song that we hear when we turn on the radio.  We need only stay open and recognize that everything that happens to us is for a reason. When we come into alignment with this truth, we come fully into our power, and never again need play the role of victim in response to the events of our lives.

Another huge piece of our personal power arises from the knowing that our thoughts, words and actions truly do create our every experience.  Simply take note of how you communicate to others and the universe throughout the course of your day.  Are you putting your attention and thoughts upon what you do want in your life, or is your main focus upon what you do not want? 

Do the words you speak clearly state what you are trying to bring into your life, or do you often repeat worrisome statements that indicate that you believe there to be lack in your life?  Putting attention upon what you do not want creates a vibratory pattern that brings more of what you do not want into your life. Jerry and Esther Hicks’ book, Ask and It Is Given, beautifully explains these concepts, and Eckhart Tolles’ The Power of Now lays the foundation for incorporating the ideas into your life.

We empower and draw to us what we most focus upon, particularly what we focus upon while feeling strong emotions.  Understanding this gives us the key to creating the life we desire.  Think of emotional energy as the initial spark of creative power.  During affirmations and visualizations allow yourself to actually feel the feeling that comes with the creation of what you desire.  Feel it to the core of your being.  Feel it in your life now.
