Dear Grace,
I have great ideas—lots of them!—but have difficulty making them happen. Do you have any suggestions for me?—Gordon
Dear Gordon,
Try this visualization. Bring your attention deep inside your abdomen and imagine a glowing ball of energy. Add vibrant colors like orange, green, and yellow to this ball. Choose one of your great ideas and place it inside the glowing ball of energy. Set your intention to nourish this great idea. Notice what happens to your great idea when it is fed by your glowing ball of energy. Repeat the application of this imagery at least five times with the same great idea. Practical steps toward your great idea becoming a reality will start to become evident during your visualization or at other times of the day. Act on them. If you are not ready to act on them, you can begin another series of visualizations, bringing the new intention of carrying out your practical steps with ease, to be fed by the glowing ball of energy.
Dear Grace,
How do I stay on my path?—Cecelia
Cecelia,
We all have a line of energy, ideally a straight line at the center of our system, which correlates with our life purpose. When I tune into your central line of energy, I find it veers off in the direction of your right shoulder rather than moving up through your neck and head. (This is not uncommon.) I am clearing energy in your upper chest area. As you read this (Cecelia, and also any readers who want to receive healing), inhale deeply and exhale for as long as you can, to assist with releasing energy. Do this for one to three breaths. There you go. That allows your “central line” to straighten—can you feel the difference?
To recharge this line of energy, I invite you to quietly bring your attention to the center of the Earth. Know that there is a line of energy from the center of the Earth, which extends through your body. It would be beneficial for you (Cecelia and other readers) to re-read this paragraph and repeat this process daily for at least twp weeks. See if you notice a difference in your feeling of being solidly on your path.
When I work with clients, they sometimes ask what I see about their future. “Seeing into the future” is not how I work. I ask them what they would like to see in their future. As they create a picture, their energy begins to align with their creation. Sometimes “bumps” show up in their energy field as they are creating. The bumps might be beliefs about their worthiness, or that if they live fully; someone else will suffer or “go without” (not true). I help them choose whether there is a color that might dissolve the bump, or a spiritual helper waiting to have it handed to them. And encourage them to notice more details about their creation. It is a beautiful process.
