“No, I Refuse to Change You. And Damn!…That Makes Me So Happy!”"

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

What is it that makes us think we can change people? How many times have you found yourself wishing that your romantic partner would do something you wanted, or not do something, or somehow meet your needs by changing somehow? How often have you wished the same about a parent, or sibling, or child? “If they’d just do this, or give me that, or stop doing this….”

A cardinal rule of Flowdreaming is that you are a magnificently powerful being….but your power extends only to YOU and YOUR OWN LIFE. Anyone else…well they’re also incredibly powerful…in their own life.

As long as you stick with manifesting for yourself, you’re going to prosper. Once you start trying to change someone else, you’re going to hit walls. Why? (more…)

5 Tips for Using Flow to Increase the Intimacy in Your Relationships

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

Here are a few Flow-inspired tips to infuse all your relationships with more love and less conflict. While we can’t change other people, per se, we CAN change the energy that surrounds our relationship and our interactions within them. And of course, that starts within ourselves. So, these five tips will help you cultivate good, loving, open energy within yourself. As they say…change begins within.

1. Break out the honesty.
Very often the source of our frustrations is our fear that our loved one will not accept how we feel or what we need in a situation. Honesty needs to be purposefully developed and cultured. It often doesn’t just happen by itself, especially if we grew up in homes where honesty wasn’t the norm. When we expect that what we need and feel won’t be honored, we either clam up or stuff down our needs. If the idea of being honest and open sends shivers of fear up your spine, then you know you REALLY need this tip: Create a list of relationship issues with various loved ones that you want be more open about, and work your way up by starting with the easiest first. In your Flow, pre-act scenarios where you are open and honest, and feel the relief and acceptance when you do so. This opens the energies to allowing honesty into your relationships in a safe, comfortable way. (more…)

Rejection Is Cold Company

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

A good friend of mine had to shake me out of my gloom yesterday. “Rejection is a good thing,” he told me. “It means you’re still putting yourself out there. You’re still in the game. You stop being rejected, then you’re in the bleachers, not on the bench.”

You can guess what kind of “go leap off a cliff” look I gave him. When you’re blue, it’s hard to hear any kind of pick-me-up talk, even from people who care about you.

You see, I’ve been feeling passed over a lot lately, like the dish at the picnic that no one tries. The kid not picked for the team, while all her buddies pick each other. The girl waiting to be asked to the dance, while all her best guy friends ask someone else. Rejection is an experience that comes early and the sting stays, no matter how old we get. Psychology Today has a good article that explains why it’s necessary that we carry around such deep emotional responses to rejection. (more…)

Welcome! Will You Be My Midwife?

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Hi Friends,

I’m so happy that you’re here, visiting my blog. I’m birthing it during a time of some serious upheaval in my life. Outside my home office window here in Southern California, the sky is like a solid turquoise upturned bowl, radiating light and warmth. But my own sky has been falling. My Flow is carrying me into very new waters. I’ve learned to let go and follow during points like this, and it’s coinciding (mysteriously! synchronistically!) with the debut my new way of speaking with you in the world, through this blog.

You’ll find my free Online Learning Library here, where I’ll be tucking especially informative articles. You can also sign up to receive my blog posts as emails, automatically, whenever I publish one. Just go to the top right of this page and type in your email address.

But I need your help. I’m the kind of person who rarely asks for help, so when I do, you know I mean it. I’d love to see this blog become a giant source of information for seekers like you out there in our world. To do this, I need to get the word out. Would you help me? Would you send a link to this blog or post to some of your friends right now? Would you link it to your own site, or blog about it yourself? Every blog comes into the world alone—like a baby—with no one but its momma or papa with it. So I’m asking, from my heart, for all of you to be my midwives.

My goal is manyfold: I want to have a way to continue to share and teach with you about being a manifesting practitioner and working with the subtle energies of the universe. I want to continue to bring Flowdreaming to the world, since when people use it to grasp their true inner power, we all benefit. And I want to get to know you, in this new community, through your comments and your experiences with this work.

Much love and blessings! May you stay in your Flow.

Summer
