Intention Creates Your World - Love Joy Money Opportunity

I woke up this morning with a directive to share with you. Take your intention to a new level. It is time to realize that every thought you have that activates your emotions creates into the physical reality. This of course is alchemy. The mixing of fire (electrical activation of the mind through thought and inspiration) and water (the emotional excitement or fear) manifests gold - only when what your mix is of a positive nature. The negative fear based stuff makes coal - the 666 carbon based substance that takes centuries of pressure to purify into the diamond. Haven't we all had enough of those pressures? Let's change that now.

In our divine essence, we are all diamonds, but with all that we have done over the millenniums, diverting and forgetting who we are, we have come to a place of chaos. Just as our planet appears to be filled with chaos and our oceans with waste, we each have forgotten who we are and the process that created all of this - both our original essence and the chaos we stand in. It is time to clean up.


Yes we can recycle and clean the environment - that is important on a daily basis. But what is most important is cleaning our own thought process. When we do this every day, we not only discover peace but we create it throughout the world.
I created this painting just for this note. I call it:
"Human Balancing The Divine"

So let me share a little on how to do this easily and effectively.
Each morning when you wake, instead of going through a list of to-dos, begin your day with gratitude for your breath. Realize you are breathing and feel its impact in your body as the oxygen excites your blood and your body comes alive. Feel the energy as it moves through your body and be grateful for being alive on this beautiful planet. Now ask the beings, angels, guides, ancestors, elementals and all the helpers around you to keep you consciously grateful throughout the day. Give them a physical means to remind you to shift to gratitude. Maybe ask them to show you a symbol, a feather, a license plate, a bird, a color. Or if you are more auditory, then perhaps a sound, a song, a word or anything that you will recognize. If you are kinestetic, then ask for a feeling, a twinge in your hand, a pinch on your arm, a breeze through your hair. Consciously intend to manifest only what you want today. Joy, laughter, peace, abundance, love, wonder, etc. Say out loud: "I, Michele (insert your name here) am consciously manifesting my world now. I am filling it with ... (add all things you want to fill it with here.. if money is an issue, use words like abundance, resources or opportunities instead of money or cash because words like money have too many negative connotations.) Next get out of bed and stretch your arms out from your sides and consciously open all the chakras in your hands, your head, your feet, your spinal column. That will include feeling and imagining or actually seeing light flow through and shoot out of: every finger, the palms of your hands, every toe, the bottoms of your feet, every bump of your spine in your back and neck and the top of your head. Feel the energy flow from the top of your head through all these parts of your body. Feel it flow out flooding your world with energy and light. Now feel it come up from the heart center of Mother Earth - Gaia and let it flow again through all these points. Finally put one hand over your heart and point your other hand to the heavens; and begin to breath through your heart. As you breath in feel love fill your heart expanding it, and as you breath out feel the love energy flow out of your heart into the world. Now you are ready for the day. You should feel light and loved because you have just loved yourself, allowed the beings around you who adore you to love you, and connected with your Earth Mother who has created every cell in your body, to love you. During the day pay attention to how your emotions wrap around your thoughts and as you do, make sure your thoughts are ones you want to manifest. They should be productive for you, not filled with fear or anger or challenge. If you do this for just one day you will start to notice how you are thinking and how you are creating your world. You can change it and make it what you want. Stop thinking about the details of how things will happen, leave that to Spirit - that is how we have miracles. Yes we do have miracles and we can have them every single day. We are the creators of our own worlds - so create the world you want. I challenge everyone who reads this, to do this simple technique for 21 days. Mark your calendar, if you miss a day, continue at that moment and fulfill this challenge. I guarantee it will change your life into the miraculous one you only thought happened in fairy tales. Sending hugs to you.. you are always in my heart.. xxxooo Michele Avanti CAP, is an internationally Certified ISAR Astrology Professional, an award-winning author & artist and a metaphysical consultant.

Practice Joy Now - EFT Can Help

What is Joy?

I received a note from a friend a day or so ago. I wanted to share some of it with you, because I think we all go through periods in life like this.

Then below you can see my response, I hope this will help you, or a friend who may be feeling a loss of direction, sadness, or simply feeling stuck.

Here's part of the note:

"So good to hear from you. My heart warmed upon seeing your sweet message at a time when I really needed it.

I have been feeling challenged and unsettled lately. One of the things I'm currently trying to figure out is, which of my desires (e.g., dancing, acting, writing, painting) are "soul hungers" worthy of focus and devotion, rather than merely fleeting urges.

I want to feel like I have aim, focus, and a vision for my life; I am always so impressed (and admittedly envious) of people who seem happy and content because they are living their vision.

I'm also trying to figure out how to attain happiness. I know that it's a state of mind, but I have not attained such a level of enlightenment.

Also, I recently broke up with my boyfriend after two years together. I think this was the right decision, because we both had been unhappy together for some time. But thinking about future love, and what I need going forward simply adds to my current confusion, and I don't think I need the added complication of romantic love in my life at this time.

I sense that this is a great opportunity for growth for me, which is why I am trying not to give into my urges to either wallow in sadness or to try to cover my feelings with false happiness. I guess I am just trying to keep busy and also to allow enough time for introspection."

My reply:

I am sorry to hear of your unhappiness, or should I say confusion. I think you are just at a new plateau in your life. Time to revise your goals and get them into greater alignment with who you are now, what you have learned about yourself, and what you perceive as making you happy.


Happiness can be, a sought-after unknown developed by subconscious media ploys and fairy tales from childhood.

The real key is to live right in the moment. This is where happiness is.


It is not some future moment when we will be in love, when we will receive the Oscar, or get the home of our dreams, or finally receive the proposal we seek.

Happiness is here in this moment. Yes, some of the moments are exhilarating and can make us giddy with joy, but those are temporary moments, less than a single percent of our entire lives - though they leave lasting impressions that we can re-experience when we feel alone or need re-enforcement of our worth.

Practice joy now!

I find passion playing with my dogs, writing to you, singing with Cd's I love, and smelling the sizzling bacon. What we need more than anything is to release the dis-ease created by dreams of exhilarated happiness, and find the joy here and now.

Better not to try to separate which of the many passions you have, as though you can only choose one. Rather remember your life is a buffet of experience. You can do all these things, and as you do, you will find yourself filtering into one more naturally than forcing a choice.

Life is much too short to think, 'What if?'


It is much better to take action, then decide not to continue. This is what you did in your relationship, you gave it a shot, and discovered that compatibility was not deep enough to go the distance. You made a good choice. You learned from it. You changed. Now, you are ready to review and revise your call to the universe.

Keep going, but take the time to see what is joyful right at this moment.


If you feel down, tap out the feelings and realign yourself with the joy. This can be done by starting simply with gratitude for all you have. Make yourself a gratitude tapping list, and start tapping.


(My tapping reference is about EFT, a technique to release emotional issues, stress, phobias and more. I am an EFT-3 Practitioner. If you are new to EFT, visit this link to download the FREE manual: http://www.emofree.com/newcomer.htm )

Here are some things from my 'Gratitude Tapping List'

I am so grateful for my toes, my nose, my eyes, my lips, my ability to smell the blossoms, to taste the ice cream, to experience the wind, the rain, to sleep in a comfy bed with a warm blanket and breezy window, to hear the sounds of nature around me, to walk, and to have friends I can call, visit with, discuss things with. To have the coins to go out to eat, drive a car, share with the poor, travel to the ocean, watch a film, buy a book.

You have so much to be grateful for, as do I, that we must always remember to focus on these things when we feel lost or unhappy. Then put on your dancing shoes, go to a friendly dancing spot, and dance the blues away. You will come home feeling filled with life again.

Movement is life, whether it is the movement of your body in dance, or the movement of deeply breathing in the morning air. This activates passion, and passion is joy.

I hope this will help you find focus, and more important rediscover your joy.

Meaningful joy is not the toothpaste commercial falling in love, which advertisers embed deeply into our subconscious.


But rather meaningful joy, is capturing every moment in life in all its passions, even in the tears of loss. This makes us know we are alive, and in that there is true joy.


Blessing always,

Michele

Be Passionate - Be You

Hi everyone, just wanted to stop by and say a few words.

I was listening to a friend speak yesterday and something she said lit up for me. You know how that happens. It is one of those moments when you say, "Yeah, I knew that but the way you said that makes it so much clearer."

I wanted to share with you how fortunate we all are to have each other. Our different perspectives open doors that otherwise can be seen but for some reason we keep missing the doorknob.

As a publisher and author, one of the things people will say to me is, I have this story but I am sure it has been told before and why would anyone want to hear it from me.

My answer is because you are 'Unique.' There is only one you and the way you choose your words, the way your vibration comes through them, is different. Everyone has people who will be attracted to them. We all embrace differently yet it is still an embrace.

So if you have a story to tell, tell it. Blog it, test it, lulu it or get out there and hawk it to an agent or publisher. The only way you are going to find out if someone is listening is if you ask.

J.K. Rowling, the most successful author in the history of our world received rejection after rejection for three full years - that's 36 months or 156 weeks of rejection. That is a lot of rejection. So who were those publishers? Lots of publishers. But that did not stop her.

When I meet with children in the schools the most frequent question I receive is, what made you write this book? My answer is, 'Passion.'

You have to be in love with your work, your journey, your characters and your narrative. No one is going to write 95,000 polished words without passion. It would be drudgery, and that would pour through onto the page.

When you are passionate about what you are doing, no matter what it is, it shows.

I think the secret to passion is being in love with being. I am passionate when I wash dishes or walk on the beach. The world we live in is a beautiful place.

Architecture leaps from the pavement to touch the sky in the big cities, while foamy fingers caress the sand at the beach, and turbulent rivers race around verdant hills pressing hard against reeds and crashing over rocks in the valleys of my hometown.

There is beauty where ever you look when you carry it in your heart.

So take this stardust....... I am sprinkling over you and look again in the mirror.

Now what do you see? The author? The artist? The medic? The cowboy? The video entrepeneur? Be whatever you dream, because you can.
