The Truth on Wealth & Spirituality – The JOGs Lay It Out

This message came through on 3/11/15 the morning before our 3 Keys to Spirit-Led Wealth to Rock Your Spirit-Led Business call (you can download it for free here). I had planned an outline of what I would share on the call, as I always do. Turns out, what they gave me (surprise, surprise) was far better than anything I could have ever come up with.   Enjoy! Xo

###

Much has been said about the topics of wealth and spirituality. Much ignorance prevails on both of these topics. There is deep misunderstanding as to what wealth means and even what spirituality means. We intend to clarify both for you in this message today so that you can know with absolute certainty what each means and their importance in your life.

True wealth is beyond money. Yes, it includes money but it is not only about money. Don’t you know you have transcended needing to believe that all you desire is in the material/physical world first and foremost? Don’t you know that it starts deeper than that and when you are aligned, then the physical flows to you? Don’t you know that you came here, a Spirit in a body to exceed every possible limitation that has been put before you?

True wealth is a consciousness that runs deep within you. We see it as a beam of light right through your body. We see it extending up through the top of your head and connecting you with Spirit and down through the bottom of your feet anchoring you into the Earth.

True wealth is the knowing – the supreme, embedded knowing that you can be, do, or have anything. It is knowing, as Jesus did that wine could come from water that one loaf of bread could become thousands. Knowing that you have the power and the ability to create whatever it is that you desire. Everyone has this ability as a Spirit in a body to create what they desire. When you know with all certainty that there is never any reason to worry or be in needful lackful want of anything – then you have true wealth.

And as a side “benefit” your bank account will overflow if that is what you desire, your relationships will abundantly prosper if that’s what you desire, your business will expand beyond your dreams and bring service to all that you desire. True wealth is knowing that you are Spirit in a body and that all things are possible for you because of this. The rest, the outward manifestations are just really fun, really cool additions.

And we cannot emphasize enough – that they are really fun and really cool additions that you are meant to experience. There is nothing wrong at all with an overflowing bank account, a yacht, a beach house and a city house, traveling the world, wearing the finest clothes, eating the finest food, absolutely delighting in the pleasures of the material. When you know with absolute certainty that you are Spirit in a body and you recognize your desires for the above – then you will have them and that is true wealth.

Heather will give you the foundational keys and next steps to this, but this is the underlying root and premise that we could not let go unsaid. It is so important for you to really “get” this on all levels.

So true spirituality is absolutely linked with true wealth. They are one and the same.

Sure there are people who have a lot of money, but they do not know this and so their body struggles, their relationships struggle, they don’t sleep well at night, they are in pain in some way – that is not true wealth.

And there are those that sleep well, feel good in their relationships but can’t keep dollars in their bank account and who worry and fret over money or carelessly disregard it and so they are not able to live the fullness of their life experience. That is not true wealth either. Because when you are truly wealthy, you do not struggle or worry about money. You do not avoid it either. If you desire something, you are able to call it forth and have it.

You do not say “I’m broke” or “I can’t afford that” or “I’m spiritual and so I can’t have money.” That is counter to the truth. If and when you are truly connected to Spirit – you DO have money! When you are truly connected to Spirit you have all things that you desire.

Now we can feel some of you guarding up here as we share this. Do not use this to beat yourself up with, use this as an informational tool to support you. If the money is not flowing – go back to your alignment – use your tools to re-align and then it can flow. If the money is flowing but the other areas of your life aren’t – go back to your alignment, use your tools. Remember that true wealth is knowing with absolute certainty that you are a Spirit in a body and that you can be/do/have whatever you desire, from that deep Soul place within you.

There is much more we could go on and on and say on this topic, but we will leave it here for now as we have given you much to chew on. Enjoy this process dear ones and remember your truth. It will serve you well.

Oh, and enjoy your yachts, your champagne sparklers, your chandeliers, your designer clothes and your quiet moments, your contemplative times, your connection with those you love, the peace of nature – enjoy it all. That is true wealth.

We are complete.

From the JOGs…What Fear Really Means

I awoke with some anxiety this morning. I didn’t have a reason or an understanding of why. I tuned in and asked for guidance and was led through the process the JOGs have given me for working with my emotions. Turns out – it wasn’t even mine! And there was a message even in that. Immediately after working through it, as I prepared my breakfast (I’m going through this wild cooking phase – I was just corrected, it’s not a phase – it’s a core aspect of me that has been returned to me since this next level transformation began – thank you JOGs!), the JOGs began telling me that they had a message for me to share about what Fear really is. I love this guidance and Love this message they are bringing through. How perfect and what a relief on so many levels! #ThankyoumorepleaseJOGs Enjoy! XO

# # #

We’ve got to address this business of fear. For so many of you face it, some daily, and some it surrounds your everyday life – on the TV, Internet, newspapers, magazines – everywhere. Why you do that to yourselves we’ll never fully know, but what we want you to understand from today is that you do have a say in this fear business. You do have the ability to let the fear get its message to you and then release it. It is not an emotion that has to stay in your body and eat away at your tissue like it does for so many of you.

Fear is an emotion like any other. There is nothing to be afraid of, yet what keeps most fear active is the fear of the fear and what that fear means or says about you and your life.

Emotions are not anything to be afraid of ever. They are simply guidance. They are another way that your Higher Self, Source Self, whatever you desire to call it – lets you know that there is some information coming up that desires your attention.

There are a number of meanings for fears when they pop up but the biggest core meaning is simply that there is a message for you. The message can be to get away from whatever is causing the fear, it can be that you’ve picked the fear up from someone or somewhere else, it can be that an old limitation is popping up now because you are ready to as Abraham calls it “Step 4” it – what we would call being the calm in the storm. As an example: you are in your life, a fear comes up and you have a choice – will you let that fear take hold or will you look right at it, with all of the calmness you have in your core and then choose to respond to it in a totally different way?

And guess what happens when you do that – when you are the calm in the storm – the fear vanishes from your cells and vanishes from your tissues.

Fear is really just like any other emotion – it has a message for you and once that message is received – not reacted to, but received – then it can release once and for all.

So many of you will push your fears down – “well, I don’t want to look at that” you say. And we aren’t saying spend an inordinate amount of time dwelling in it, but do carve out a quiet space and some time and just see what that emotion wants you to know. It’s getting your attention for a reason. And then, how about following whatever that emotion is asking you for? Sometimes the fear is excitement and your Higher Self desires for you to claim that excitement rather than stuffing it. Sometimes the fear is saying “leave!” get out!” and upon further connecting to your Higher Self, you realize that is the most aligned action.

Only you and your Spirit Team know what each emotion means for you, but we so want you to really take time to play with your emotions. Let them guide you, they are simply giving you information and if you will stop, and tune in to whatever the emotion is and ask – from that calm in the storm place – “what do you need me to know?” You will get so much more richness out of your life. Your life will become fuller because you are no longer zipping by and pushing through, and rushing to/from. You are stopping and allowing what needs to come up to come up. You are not buying into an overreaction – you are not believing that the emotion is “real” from a perspective of – “Oh! Something is wrong!” No, you are taking it as communication from the deeper part of you.

And when you can work with your emotions in this way – oh wow – so much more opens up for you. First, you just feel better in your body, second, you are more on purpose. You don’t make decisions that aren’t fully aligned for you anymore. You really take the time to feel and move through it and then create and choose from that more aligned place. Working with your emotions is one of the most powerful tools you can use to stay aligned with who you really are.

And as to our earlier comment about surrounding yourself in news or what we would call fear consciousness – please stop. Make a commitment to only take in information that lifts you up. Stop watching it on the TV, in the movies, in the newspapers (if any of you are reading them other than online anymore), on the Internet – fear and heaviness is in many of these forms of what you would call entertainment. But we have to tell you – if it doesn’t lift you up into the truth of who you really are – is that really entertainment? And do you really need the information of every little thing that is happening out there? Couldn’t you be a more powerful creator in your own life and therefore spread powerful positive ripples to all you encounter when you are in a state of upliftment more of the time than not?

We know, you cannot avoid it all entirely, but we would like to ask that you avoid it as much as possible. So many of you are feeling fear that isn’t even yours. It’s fear you’ve absorbed from those “entertainment” and “news” forms. Its fear you’ve absorbed from your religions, from other organizations you attend “meetings” at, from your parents, from people you’ve allowed to be close to you. And we are encouraging you to clear the clutter. Cut out the fear-based anything wherever it shows up. And then when you feel it in your body, it will be much easier to assess what is yours and what is another’s and it will allow you to release any fear in your body with greater ease.

Fear is really about communication. Just like any other emotion. And we want you to treat all of your emotions as divine guidance that is meant to lead you forward into the bliss that you came here for.

We love you, and we are complete.

The JOGs on What A Spirit-Led Business Is…

This is the foundation of the “work” I do in the world and who I strive and desire to be in this lifetime. I love the way the JOGs broke this down for us (they are so good making the intangible, tangible!) so we can literally go through and check-off where we are at on this Spirit-Led Business path. Originally I thought the message was to write an article about Spirit-Led Business for The Huffington Post. When I went to tune into this in meditation today the JOGs said, “let us write it!” and then post it on the Love Blog. So…here it is! And I agree – this was definitely the way to go. Go JOGs! Enjoy! Xo

# #  #

Today we want to talk to you about what a Spirit-Led business is and why it’s important and why it’s something that many are now being called to as consciousness goes through a tremendous shift into greater alignment with the Soul of who they really are and Source energy.

A Spirit-led business is the byproduct of a Spirit-led Life. A Spirit-led Life is a byproduct of a strong call from within, a strong desire to be of service at the highest level possible and to truly embody being a Spirit in a body. Which is, to fully claim yourself as the powerful Spirit being that you are and to fully carry out all that your Soul desired to carry out in this lifetime – what many of you call your Soul’s Purpose.

Each of you has many, many specific aspects that you intended to experience when you came here in this lifetime. You are all each working your way into greater and greater alignment with these aspects. And when you fully align with one of the many intentions you placed in your vibrational trajectory before you incarnated in this lifetime, it feels sublime. You feel free. You feel elated. You feel good.

And so, a desire for a Spirit-Led business is simply another one of these desires that you put into your vibrational trajectory. It aligns closely with a desire to live a Spirit-Led Life and a Spirit-Led Life is the core desire every Soul has. How fully they embody this depends on their conscious and unconscious choices, among other factors which we will not get into at this time.

Those called now to lead a Spirit-led business are showcasing themselves as those who are finding more continuous alignment with Source and with the Soul of who they really are.

Below are the hallmarks of a Spirit-led business and really you can apply this as the hallmarks of a Spirit-led Life – but we are attempting to keep things as simplified as possible – giving you bits of information as we go here so that it can be a more ease-ful understanding and experience for you:

A Spirit-led business releases all hold on needing to control outcomes from a mind perspective.
A Spirit-led business allows the deeper call within to guide all decisions, all offerings, all pricing structures, all forms of energy and output.
A Spirit-led business can be any type of business. It does not matter what the offering is. Anyone called can set the intention and run a Spirit-led business. And when they do – all manners not in alignment with Spirit (what you call Higher Consciousness, and Source/Higher Power energy) will fall away and in replacement – glorious new, abundant offerings will come to the surface. It’s an ecstatically amazing process that we invite you all into!
A Spirit-led business is fully intentional. It is filled with ritual. It is founded on a cornerstone of Spirit. Daily spiritual practices are key. All aspects of the business are treated energetically and spiritually – working with the core level of what buoys a business. This is the way you intended to treat everything in life! We are so thrilled so many of you are desiring to treat your businesses in this manner and from there letting it expand further. For many of you, this is the perfect place to start for a Spirit-led Life – take it piece by piece. This is how it has unfolded for Heather and it has served her very, very well. Now, she is on to extending Spirit-Led into every nook and cranny in her life and WOW is all she has been able to say to us and to many of you over and over again.
A Spirit-led business does not defer to statistics, “experts” or “industry” – a Spirit-led business follows inner guidance wholly and fully. The only level of “experts” needed in a Spirit-led business are the 1-2, maximum 3 guides or members of your Dream Team – as Heather calls it -that you are led to, to keep you as the owner of this business clear and aligned with the Soul of who you really are or what we would call your Source Self. All of you pick up and have accumulated limitations in beliefs and fears that over time no longer serve you. Releasing these and aligning to your core self is essential in a thriving Spirit-Led business. If you make your spiritual “development” – which is really and truly the only development any one of you ever need focus on – your priority and you let your inner guidance from a clear place guide you, your business will thrive. In fact, every area of your life will thrive. There is no other way for it to be.

A Spirit-led business feels good in your body. It feels like peace. It feels like calm. It feels like a big “yes”. It does not scramble outside for clarity, it goes within for clarity. When it finds seeming roadblocks it uses practices and tools and supports to shift into the next highest frequency. Because you know what those seeming roadblocks really are – don’t you? They are a call to step into your magnificence further. As we described in an earlier message regarding your emotions, every manner of everything including your emotions are signs on your pathway, redirecting, guiding you, showing you a new something to uncover about yourself to release and re-align.

A Spirit-led business is the only kind of business we would ever run if we were in your shoes. We are beyond happy that so many of you are feeling the call for this. We know it will serve you and the desires you have for your life – for abundance and wealth, for greater health, for better relationships – for all of it tremendously well. In this tremendousness you will uncover aspects of yourself you never imagined and you will fly higher than you have ever flown as a Spirit in a body. You will discover more of your true power and this power will bring you so much freedom and joy and good energy that you will not be able to keep yourself from sharing all of the goodness with all those you encounter.

Trust us, it is really that good.

In eternal love,

The JOGs are Talking About the Love Of Your Life…

…we had so many responses from the last post about the “outline” of how “Love” works. The JOGs are going to keep giving us more and more it appears to allow it to integrate within us on new levels. I am SO enjoying this “learning” process and I hope you are too! Love! Xo

# # #

We have much more to say to you on this topic of Love. We suppose it’s an eternal topic as your thirst for this knowledge remains unquenchable. It’s like a desire to know the unknowable because words will never do it justice. Words can never convey the pure sublime nature of truly loving another, of truly coming together with the Love of your Life.

Already so many of you are trying to figure out – “have I missed him/her” or “did I already meet the Love of my Life?” We want to tell you to not worry about it for one minute. We shared with you from a place of desiring to soothe your concern and worry and misinformation re: Love. That Twin Flame story really gets many of you all tied up in a knot and we just want you to know that there is no need. Your Love of your Life will know that you are their Love. There will be no question. There will not be battles, there will not be tumult and crazy-ness. That’s for you and your Wound Mates. And we know the Wound Mates often feel so “right” and we have to tell you – it’s because they are RIGHT. They are who you need to experience and vice versa to become more of who you really are. They bring in the wound to support you in healing it and re-aligning to your true nature. It is always a gift. So bless them, because they are gifts to you and you to them.

You must know something else as well – really and truly you could just not have this information and go about your business. But we know you so want this information. You want to understand how it all works. And because everyone’s vibrational trajectory is different and varied – the #1 thing you must do – is know yourself. Really make it your total commitment to know yourself at the deepest possible levels, make your relationship with yourself your first priority and as you know yourself, you begin to know other things too – like when you’ve met a Wound Mate vs the Love of your Life, like which modes of “work” are most aligned for you, like which “friends” truly are aligned for you – all of it. When you make your spiritual practice, when you make this path your #1 focus – all else comes to you with far more ease than when you do not. Sure, you’ll always get there…eventually – whether in this lifetime or the next, but how much more fun to have a more enjoyable journey, filled with more fun along the way and then come together with the perfect people, places, and opportunities. And we know you are wondering about our “getting there” comment – what we mean is – you will meet the Love of your Life, if you desire to, it will happen. Some of you will delay this because you will tie yourself in knots trying to make it work with a Wound Mate. And that’s okay, it’s not a super fun ride but that’s okay. We would love to see more of you with your divinely aligned partners, we believe Heather was calling them Divine Destined Partners for some time. This is the Love of your Life. We want more of you to be with that person. But the only way to be with that person is to do your “work” and to be really honest with yourself. Many of you are in a relationship that has reached its expiration date. You know this on a deep level. But there is a house and maybe children and other commitments and it seems too messy to leave. And we have to tell you – it is too messy to stay. It all sorts of messes with your vibration and with your ability to live the fullness of this experience when you stay when you know in your Soul that you need to go. And we know it’s tough at times for you, we are not suggesting otherwise. We just desire for more of you to really own your magnificence and align first with the Soul of who you really are and then allow the Love of your Life to flow to you with ease.

And this is where it gets really, really good. No matter if you are single or in relationship – if you will make the commitment right here, right now to your spiritual path being your #1 priority and that you know that part of that path is being with the Love of your life – things will begin to shift for you. Invoke us – call in your guides and angels of the highest light – ask for Heaven and Earth to be moved to support you in this. Ask for the right teachers, facilitators, supports – what Heather calls your Dream Team – to be fully known to you. Ask to be shown the way so that this can occur for you. Because when this is your aim and focus, and you invoke us to support you – it’s less messy and there is more ease.

You don’t have to fight or “figure out” if you’re with the Love of your Life (although if you’re asking – there’s your answer we must tell you – you will know with absolute certainty that you are when you are) – the relationship will either continue or it will not. It really can be that easy. And the coming apart, if that is the path, can be amicable and loving and beautiful. And then, then from there you must be aligned and committed to not falling into old patterns, to really showing up in your highest light so that you may magnetize to you the Love of your Life with ease.

For those of you with the Love of your Life already – we want to see you honoring the connection as such. There needs to be more love, more romance, more sex. Make the relationship a priority for you. Plan outings, plan fun, plan joy, plan sex – we don’t care – just make it happen. You do this by your intention, your focus, and your deep desire to take relationship where it has never gone before. You can do this and you absolutely have the power to do this, we assure you. And with ease.

You can be with the Love of your Life and it can be EASY most of the time!! Yes, easy! Make that commitment, ask to be shown the way – and again all of Heaven and Earth is here at your disposal to support you. Seriously and truly.

So this is the next piece we just had to give you because others were asking Heather and we could feel others of you asking in your minds and hearts. Enjoy sinking into this and offering your invocations.

We want you to remember that you came here for Divine love with the Love of your Life – nothing less will do! Now go forth and Love!

Until next time,

The JOGs on “The Love Thang”…

This message came through on 3/12/15. And settle in – it’s a big one! Xo

# # #

We’re talking about Love again! Everyone’s favorite topic. And it’s your most favorite topic because you know – that’s where all the really, really good stuff is. When you feel that heart opening, when you feel that heart connection, when you feel the depth of the expansion and the magnificence of what it feels like to be loved and to love –there is simply no comparison. Some of your chocolate cakes come close in comparison, but not nearly. We’re just joking with you.

There really is no comparison at all in the world to that feeling of love. Of course in the non-physical we’re pretty much in that state all of the time, but when you’re in a body feeling those feelings and you focus your attention on another, your other, well, there’s nothing like it to be in a body and be in bliss. The feelings, the sensations of the body – the orgasms. It’s what you came here for you know, well part of what you came here for. Because you wanted to FEEL. Feelings in a body are much different than feelings in non-physical in that the feelings are radiating through a body and that brings with it a completely different experience because of your senses. You don’t realize how much you were really desiring to have that / this experience before you incarnated. You said, “Give me a body! Give me a body! I want to feel! I want to feel it all!”

And you did and you do. Really and truly. You want to feel it all. Which means, sometimes in Love, it doesn’t turn out the way you were originally hoping it would and so you don’t feel so good. But we have to tell you – you came even for that. You came to have that contrasting emotion so that when you re-aligned with Love again – you remembered and could feel so radically how good it feels to truly Love.

So, Love – most important feeling on the planet, the one everyone is after – whether they are running countries or are making movies or are sitting on a couch in the middle of the world pondering the state of their heart and what they desire. Love fills you up. It allows you to remember who you really are on many levels. And it just feels good on top of everything else. So many of you shame yourself for wanting it, feel guilty that you want it so and we say to you – what better thing could you possibly want? Others of you have it and wish you didn’t or have it and take it for granted. And we want you to really turn to look at that person and thank them, thank them right now for being here and being here with you. It’s a marvelous thing that is happening between you two – don’t you realize?

What keeps many of you from experiencing the fullness of this experience – either in not allowing yourself to be matched up with your Beloved, or being with your Beloved and wishing for something different or taking him/her for granted – is that you forget what a privilege it is to love another. You forget that you two decided, quite some time ago to come together like this for the purpose of co-creating at a more magnificent level. Yes, when two of you come together with a deep Love between you and a desire to create a home or a family or make the world a better place or a business or to create anything – a quiche even – it is more powerful than when only one of you does. It’s richer, more FULL. And you know this which is why you desire it so powerfully.

Yes, you knew you would come together. You knew it. We gave this news to Heather a few days ago, we gave her our “outline” of what and how this Love/partner thing works. She has been milling it over for a little bit of time now, trying to decide if she believes us. She is mentally going through the couples she knows, the celebrity couples she knows, the ancestral couples she has heard about in her family line and she is trying to match it up with what we’ve shared to see if she really believes us. You see, some part of her wonders if it could be this easy – receiving the messages from us, being in partnership. And we tell her and we will keep telling her as we tell you – yes it is! It really IS this easy. It really is this good.

So, here’s how it works, here is as linear as we could give it to you the way this Love thang (yes, we’re stealing some of Heather’s slang) works:

Spiritual Soul Mates – you all have Spiritual Soul Mates (we are Heather’s) – Soul’s you have journeyed with before in other lifetimes and who you often come together with, with one or more of you on the non-physical side and the other in the physical. And the Soul Mates on the non-physical side are specifically working with you to support you in living your purpose and having the most abundant, amazing life you can possibly have in this lifetime. So, you know these Souls from before. They are your Soul Family. And you “meet” them usually in the way Heather met us – you are open enough, you are doing your spiritual work, you are asking the bigger questions and we come to you and let you know who we are and that we are here to support you. Then, the more you engage us, the more we are able to support you – we cannot do so without your permission and once you start working with your Spiritual Soul Mates consciously – as Heather has discovered – Life just takes off with so much more magic. It’s like you simply ask, and it is! And that’s because when you are aligned and you ask us and ask us directly, we can respond with ease. We would say this is one of the most important pieces to tune in to as a Spirit in a body. Connect with your Spiritual Soul Mates! We really have the ability to support your life in miraculous ways. We will get you connected to the right opportunities, people, etc.

Which then leads us to…

The Love Of Your Life – Every single one of you has a Love of your Life. And yes, there is only ONE. We know this is going to flip some of you out, Heather certainly started asking about a million questions when we shared this with her. And we will tell you this. Yes, there is only one, but you CANNOT MISS this person. It’s not possible for you to be living in LA and they live in China and your paths will never cross or you have to go on Match.com International or something to “find” them. You never have to “find” them. They are in your vibrational trajectory and you are in theirs. There is NO CHANCE that you will miss each other. There is a chance that you will not meet them until…well, until you line up your energy to allow them in. This is all an alignment process after all. So you must be aligned to the Soul of who you really are. And you must have powerful desire without limitations clouding you to come together with the Love of your Life. We encourage you to use this term specifically. The other terms can send all sorts of confusing, label-ridden, conditioned vibrations into the ethers and we like for you to be very, very clear. You aren’t here for your boyfriend or girlfriend or partner (that is just too nebulous – we are bound to bring you a dog or a business partner (!) because we aren’t totally sure and your alignment is not necessarily “there” for the Love of your life to come in with this terminology) or even your husband or wife (gasp!). Heather really gasped at this one! For those of you who know her story – you know why! You will be most satisfied, most blissed out with the Love of Your Life – you just will. So this Love is like the best friend you never had but always wanted, the Lover that you always desired. They will feel like a “yes”, it will be easeful to come together with them, it will feel so good, but not in a mind way, in a deep, Soul-centered, clear way. And you two, if you will allow it, will journey on together for as long as your vibrational trajectory dictates.

Which brings up an important question that Heather had for us – can you meet the Love of your Life and then “mess” it up? Well, first know that you can’t ever really mess anything up. The Universe is always recalibrating for you, we are always taking care of things for you. The Love of Your Life is in your vibrational trajectory so it is done – you WILL meet him/her. Now, we have seen some of you, push this relationship away. You hit a point of expansive growth and you fly the coop. And if your desire is powerful enough and if you have enough momentum going in that direction, yes, you can push that person away. But, eventually he/she will come back, once you return to your alignment. Why? They are the Love of your Life – there is no other option for either of you. There will not be anything more satisfying than for you two to return to one another.

It is also possible that one of you may transition into the non-physical before the other and that is how the relationship comes to an “end”. Of course it is really just another beginning, not an ending. When this happens, the Love of your Life will begin working with you from the other side like your Spiritual Soul Mate team. And it is possible that you will enjoy Great Love after the passing on of the Love of your Life to the non-physical. Sometimes that is how it works for some of you and it is divinely guided as such.

Now, we have to go even deeper to be clear about what you all call Soul Mates in the physical…

We’re afraid to tell you there has been a little confusion – these are not actually Soul Mates. These are Wound Mates. They feel so “familiar” because they have a gift for you. They are about to show you a wound that is unhealed within you that is ready to be released and re-aligned. And so yes, there is often this big coming together and you both feel sure that you have found your “one” – but over time it becomes clear that the relationship is showing you and reflecting back to you some very discordant aspects of your vibration that perhaps you didn’t even know were there. This is a good thing! That is what they are there for, for you and you for them. They are preparing you for the Love of your Life. These wounds must be released before you can truly enjoy and benefit fully from the relationship with the Love of Your Life. Celebrate this discovery! Then, as the wound becomes clear, allow yourself to see it and release it. Then when that occurs and you realize the relationship no longer fits or feels right (the Wound Mate has done their “job” so to speak) – celebrate and release one another! Allow the parting to be as beautiful as the coming together! There is no need for drama, or for resistance – it is futile. Celebrate and thank one another for the contribution to your Soul’s evolution that they have made. In that way, yes, you could call them a Soul Mate, but it is not the same as the concept you think is Soul Mate which says “forever love”. No, these individuals are here to support the evolution of your Soul and their Soul. It is never one just “helping” the other either – both Soul’s are supporting one another in Wound healing and evolution in these relationships.

You may have 100’s of these – well, we’re teasing you, most likely not hundreds – but depending on your vibrational trajectory and what you felt inspired to evolve and remember and enjoy in this lifetime, you may have many of these. And that is okay. Please know that that is absolutely okay. You may spend years with these individuals if that’s what it takes, you may marry them, you may have children with them, you may buy homes with them – whatever it takes to allow you both to slough off those wounds and become better acquainted with the Soul of who-you-really-are so that you can fully enjoy being with the Love of your Life.

So there you have it. Now you have as linear of an outline as we could ever give you about this Love thang.

Until next time,

Something has to be said about one of the most valuable pieces of information you possess but do not recognize as the asset that it is. This asset is your mind. So much and so often it is said that you cannot trust the mind, and that you should not believe what is in the mind. And in some regards – we agree. Your mind can become a storehouse of limitation. Depending on the religion you were raised in, the family dynamic you experienced, the culture you’re in, the country you reside in – your mind may or may not be filled with limiting beliefs and fears.

However, the mind is also a very powerful place, when you decide for it to be. When you decide for it to be, the mind can serve you very, very well. It’s not about neglecting or shutting down the mind, it’s about clearing the mind of the old limitations and replacing instead with the aligned truth, replacing the limitations with divine wisdom that will serve you very well.

All of the greats that have lived before and who live now and who will come in the future – know how to use the power of their mind. When the power of the mind is used for good, tremendous possibility and opportunity awaits. It’s one thing to know or feel something and it is quite another to take action to carry out what you know. Your mind helps you carry out the powerful intuitive knowings you have. It also can be a storehouse of bliss. You can fill your mind with so much positive reinforcement that it is filled with inspiration, clarity, knowledge, insights – anything you need to take your life to the next desired level of abundance and bliss.

So how do you do this you may ask? First you must be aware of the power of your mind and the knowledge of what it is. It is has been compared to a computer and it is much like that. It is filled with “data”, with information that you have accumulated over the years. When it is filled with high-vibrating data – you have high-vibrating results in your life. If it is filled with doubt and fear and limitation that is what you will experience in your life. So first, know the power of your mind.

Second, commit to allowing your mind to be one of the most powerful assets for you in this lifetime. Become intentional in your commitment to fill your mind with information and “data” that will allow you to carry forth your Soul’s purpose with ease and to also have an enjoyable life experience.

Once this commitment is made, you will become aware of the “data” or “programs” in your mind that are not serving you. If you are not aware of this, simply look to some of the results in your life and that will let you get a glimpse of what is residing in your mind. Set out to clear these limitations. Just as you spring clean your homes, cars and wardrobes, so must the mind be cleared of its limitations. Some of you have signed on for lives that created a lot of variety of information and “data”, much of which no longer serves you. Some of you have been on the path of aligning with your Highest Self for some time and have received much support on this. Wherever you are at, make it your priority to release these limitations. Simply invoke Divine Will and you will be guided to the perfect ways to do this.

Then, you’ll want to begin replenishing this storehouse of your mind. Filling it with information and “data” and “programs” that will serve you in creating and living a life that is in your Highest alignment. You’ll do this by being very intentional about what is in your environment and what comes to you. You will read books that uplift and fill your mind with positivity and empowerment. You will have conversations of positivity and empowerment. You will watch yelevision and movies and listen to music that fill you with positivity and empowerment. You will be so conscious, so intentional that if any of the above shifts to a place of non-alignment, you will either end whatever is happening immediately and walk away from it or you will shift right back into positivity and empowerment.

Imagine that you have the ability to choose the programs that are in your mind (you do) and you have the power to choose where to tune the frequency of your thoughts when you do this. That’s right – when you intentionally choose to fill your mind with positivity, empowerment, joy, bliss, love, abundance – the thought forms that come to you will come to you in those frequencies.

If thought forms are coming to you from frequencies that do not radiate the highest possible vibration, it’s simply information for you to know that some clearing out and some replenishing of the highest Light are needed for your mind.

When your mind is clear, filled with positive empowerment and nourishment, it allows for a seamless integration with your heart (emotions) and with your Soul (the core of who you really are). When all 3 of these are in sync, we call this Divine Alignment. We also call this the key to “success” as a Spirit in a body. This level of alignment is what those who soar have, it’s what those who are living a life that seems magical to you have. And it is available to everyone. It’s just that not everyone realizes this truth. They think luck or good genes or good karma are at the root. And none of that is true. Every single Spirit in a body or human has the ability to work with their mind in this way and to then experience greater alignment with the core of who they really are, and therefore their highest path and purpose.

So what about your heart and Soul you ask? They are so critical in all of this as well of course. We’ve discussed your emotions and the power of them to guide you to your truth and to more aligned action. Your Soul is the aspect of you that has always been here and always will be. It is connected in a web of one-ness with the other Souls of the Universe. It is not that you are all one in the same but it is that you are part of the same family (we all are!) which means that every action you take has an impact on the whole. Every release of limitation you have has an impact on the whole, every taking on of new empowered information benefits the whole as well. You cannot impact yourself without affecting one another. When more than one of you gather with a focused intention of aligning to your Soul and shifting all your frequencies (mind-body-Spirit) to new heights, the impact of this is dramatic on your planet, on all Souls. This is why this work has taken a bigger forefront and why we have guided Heather to offer groups as her primary focus of her “work” in the world. True, it was something she agreed to do before she incarnated, but not “knowing” this in a conscious way, we guided her there so that she could not only fulfill her destiny or vibrational trajectory but also support as many who were called (and agreed) to come together with her to shift the frequency of the collective and of one another.

Of course it all matters, just as we told you in our most recent note to you. And our desire is that in each of these messages, you receive another piece of the “puzzle” (of course it’s not really a puzzle, it’s more like a watercolor, it’s more like this beautifully, perfect painting that you are able to bring into your focus and see and paint. The outline has been there and you are filling in the colors. Yes, like paint by numbers, but more elegant and expansive than that). Our intention and desire is that these messages remind you of what you know on a deep level and support you in taking whatever inspired action is being called forth from/by you to live a life that is in your highest alignment.

Enjoy this process, enjoy these expanded knowings, enjoy what these practices bring into your life experience. And most of all enjoy the miraculous being that you are.

We are complete.

Love,

We want you to know something very important…again…because it is all important. It is all important in that it all maters when it’s part of your experience. Not one day need be taken for granted. Do you know how delicious it is to wake up in a body, a body you can experience some of the greatest joys with? Try it out. No really try it out. When you wake up in the morning, imagine that it’s the first time you’ve awoken with this body of yours.

Let yourself feel the sheets and blankets with your toes and with your fingertips and just take a deep breath through your nose and smell the smells around you. Run your fingers through your hair (if you have any) otherwise enjoy the touch of your scalp. This body of yours is no joke. It is equipped to bring you to all that you desire. It’s one of the reasons you were so excited and so ready and so intent on incarnating in this lifetime. You said, “Yes! I’ll take a body! Yes! I’ll come into the world and experience wonders I could not experience in any other way! Yes! I’ll be part of shifting human consciousness forward. Yes! I’ll learn to remember who I really am – Sprit with a body. Yes! Yes! Yes!”

Really that’s how excited you were. And then you are here now and you may find yourself not remembering this excitement. You may find yourself questioning the path and the unfoldings you are now experiencing. And we have to say to you – that’s part of what you came for too. You knew you would forget at certain points along the way – and that you’ll continue to have moments – although we intend there will be fewer and fewer of those moments – when you forget about your divinity. You forget that it’s no accident that you are here now, at this time and place, having these experiences, surrounded by these people. Sometimes you forget and think that seriously it must be a cruel joke that you are here like this now, that who on earth would have chosen these very people and situations that surround you.

But we assure you – that these people, these experiences – all of it – are exactly, exactly what you need to remember what you knew when you came – that you are Spirit in a body.

So what does that even mean Spirit in a body and why does it matter? Well, it matters to remember because then when you wake up in the morning you have a new appreciation for your body, you have a new appreciation for the people around you – annoying or not. You suddenly aren’t questioning why or how or feeling any sort of victimhood about your lot in life.

When you remember that you are Spirit in a body – you remember what so many have forgotten – you are powerful. You have the ability to shift your thought, to shift your reality, to shift the people around you – all of it. You can stand in all of your power and in one moment – you can alter the entire course of your life. Just by reading new material, thinking new thoughts, hanging with a different crowd – your life changes.

So, if you have all of this power, why not use it to your advantage? Why not take ownership of this beautiful body of yours and begin to craft, very intentionally the life with which you were so very excited to live.

We hear some of you moaning – as if it would be too much work to do all of that. But – hello – that’s exactly what you came for, remember! To remember!

And then, what you ask. So, I remember, I know I’m Spirit in a body. I know I’m powerful and can change the whole course of my life just by deciding to, then what?

Then…we say, bliss! Then, we say fun!

Then we say, lots and lots of possibilities to create something even more magnificent than the last time you were here.

Yes, the last time you were here. You have journeyed as a human many, many times, some of you thousands of times, others of you millions of times (we’re not joking).

And each time, each time you come with a powerful desire, a powerful desire to take your life to new stratospheres. To experience things you’ve never before experienced. You were just so excited, you could hardly stand yourself before you dove into that body of yours. You know that this next go around is going to be even more magnificent than the last time. You know that things are going to be deeper, tastier, more exceptional than before.

Your food does keep getting better doesn’t it?

And your lovemaking – well, some of you are taking that to new heights, opening up to the consciousness and the energy that is created when two bodies come together as one. Sooo good! And what about the Love that you feel, the depth of the love, the opening that happens of your heart? Some of you are loving with every cell in your body and you had never done that before.

And of course you come to see what you can create. What will you think up this lifetime? Airplanes, lightbulbs, the Internet, computers, gadgets for every possible need, healing modalities that transcend all Eastern and Western thought before it. Yes, you came for all of this. The books you write – will you write an even more amazing one this lifetime? Or will you dive into a whole new topic? What about the movies you create? What new plotlines and cinematography will you bring to the world?

Can you feel how good that is? Can you feel how delicious it is to be Spirit in a body?

We want you to know that this is such an important, important piece of understanding for you to have. Because when you understand this – your choices become different. What you gravitate towards is different. Who you connect with and Love is different. The food you eat is different. The vacations you take are different. Everything is different. Because you know that it MATTERS. That it all MATTERS. Every smile to a stranger, every loving word to a loved one, every dance, every step, every morning that you wake up – matters.

And you are here to experience it in ways that astound you and please you, in ways you have yet to experience before with all manner of new opportunities and surroundings.

We love you so very much and we ask that you sit with this. That you feel into this. That you allow yourself to really know and feel this truth. You are a Spirit in a body.

Make good use of this time. Make good use of this opportunity to be the best, most expansive, most peacefully, abundantly happy being that you can be.

We are complete.

The JOGs on The Importance of Loving Your Life…

This I believe is their longest message yet and by the end my cheeks where fiery red with warmth. This is also the first time they’ve talked about me. I stopped when it came up and they had to guide me through it. Tapping & breathing over here. Whew. I can do this, I can do this.

The Importance of Loving Your Life

We want you to know about something, one thing that can change everything for you. It’s the one thing no one talks too much about. Yet it’s the very thing that can shift your life into more joy, satisfaction, love, abundance and an overall amazing experience. No one wants to talk about it because they think it will be too boring or that others won’t understand. That it needs to be sexier to live the life of your dreams, or more sensational in some way.

But really, the easiest and quickest route to living the life of your dreams is to love the life you have. Yes, that’s it. And we feel and see you rolling your eyes at us, but we have to say to you that it is true. To spend time everyday appreciating, blessing and giving gratitude for and to the life you currently have. And then from that place, allowing yourself to visualize the life that you can feel is in your vibrational trajectory. Tune in to the possibilities and opportunities that are before you. The people you haven’t met yet, the work you haven’t yet discovered that you will LOVE to do, the food you don’t even know that will delight you more than you can imagine, the activities that will bring you the most joy and ease and fun. The very stuff that life is made of and all about.

You are all so hell bent on getting somewhere. Getting to this destination or that destination. You’re rushing and pushing aside the most important things that mean the most and are the indicators of whether or not you are even in alignment – your feelings. How often do you quickly reply to that email, answer that text, finish this piece of work, add that to your calendar, book that trip, sign up for this that or the other thing? Why not stop? Breathe. Pay attention to your emotions. Is that a twinge of anxiety? Is that some fear? Is that elation? Is that giddiness? Is that love? Tune in. Slow down and tune in.

Because in there is where all the good stuff lies. All of your truth lies there. Your emotions let you know about your alignment, and they let you know if what you are about to do is actually aligned for you or not. They let you know if the life path you are on feels good to you and is aligned or if there is fear and anxiety there.

Far too much time is spent beating yourself up, worrying that your feelings are wrong and that something is wrong with you because you have these feelings. And we have to tell you – there is nothing wrong with you. Your feelings are letting you know – something is OFF. And if something is OFF and you move forward – boy oh boy – you better watch out – it’s going to be a far bumpier ride than it needs to be.

Heather had this experience and she is noticing these experiences within her a lot as we are guiding her in this new realm she is in. She is having trouble here – she is not sure she wants us talking about her and telling her stories, but we are soothing her to let her know it’s all okay. When she looks back, Heather notices that on the trip where she got engaged, she felt something – she wasn’t sure what it was then. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but if she had stopped in that moment and breathed into that emotion, she would have identified it. She would have felt the knowing that something was OFF. She didn’t need to know in that moment what was off or why it was off, but simply the identification of the off-ness would have allowed more of the vibrational reality of what was occurring to be shown to her with more ease. Now, it’s all okay and it worked out okay, she eventually saw the truth she needed to see, and got the message her Higher Self and we were giving to her. And overall, it was an important experience for her to have.

But imagine. Imagine if you – if all of you – because you all have had and are having these kinds of experiences all of the time – what if you stopped when you felt that twinge of something. That “I don’t’ know about this…something feels off” moment. And what would happen if you knew, if you trusted that that “off” feeling was occurring because your Higher Self was trying to get a message to you. That your connection to us, to Spirit, to all that is-ness was sending you a nudge – something is OFF. And what if in that moment of recognition of the off-ness you were able to pinpoint what was off and maybe you weren’t (but you would because your Spirit team is with you and they are supporting you). Then how many proposals would you accept? How many dates would you go on? And we aren’t just talking romantic dates – we’re talking lunch dates, job interviews – all of it? Would you go to that store or would you follow that off feeling and go to a store that felt more aligned? Would you meet with that friend or would you wait to meet with a friend that felt more aligned? Would you answer that email, text or phone call?

The truth is, we are always communicating with you. You are always communicating with you. Your Higher Self – that non-physical part of you connected to Source energy – is always letting you know if you’re off or your on, your off or you’re on. And the more attuned you become to listening to and following that feeling, that guidance, that knowing, that sense, those nudges, the better your life gets. Really it does, it really does.

Suddenly you have more time, more flow, more ease. You feel better in your body. And when you do spend time with people that you feel that smoothness with – it’s a really, really good time. You laugh more, you enjoy life more. And oh, what do you know? You are living the life of your dreams. Because you stopped hurtling through life. You stopped doing what was expected. You stopped saying yes, when some part of you was saying “how about let’s not do that?”

You know all of this already of course. In fact nothing we say to you will ever come as too much of a surprise to you. We are simply putting to words that which you have always known because it is who you have always been. That Higher Self part of you is always with you and so it has always been whispering this into your ear, along with us. Gurgling in your stomach, aches and pains, headaches – oh my god – the headaches. Don’t you know what that means? Well it means what every physical ailment means – it means STOP RIGHT NOW the life you’re living, what you’re doing and tune in. Sit with yourself, be with yourself, FEEL what is happening within you.

And we know you have stories, you have lots and lots of stories about who you are and what it means and how you have to show up and who you are obligated to, but they are STORIES. They aren’t even real. You can tell a new story. You can tell a story that allows you to be more aligned with who-you-really-are. How do you know the “right” story? Easy. It’s the story that tells the magnificent YOU story. The story that shines a light on all of your greatness, that shows you as the star that you are, that propels you forward into the spotlight of the play that is your life. The one that commends you, lifts you up and tells you how incredibly beautiful you are and how you have just what you need to have the life of your dreams.

Heather is coming across a new concept we are giving to her and she is so loving it. The Empowered Dreamer. We want you to be empowered dreamers. You are not Dreamers with your head in the clouds, wishing on a star. You are empowered – you take action, you follow the nudges from within and from us and from the signs the Universe brings. You go all out for the life that makes you feel most alive. You came here for that don’t you know? To feel alive. To really feel the vitality of this wondrous human body which is yours. You couldn’t wait to have this experience in that beautiful body of yours.

You aren’t wishing for the life of your dreams. You are Empowering yourself to take the guided actions necessary to create the life of your dreams. Only you can do this. And we believe in you so. We love seeing you soar. We love seeing you happy. We love seeing you love your life. Yes, we’re bringing it back around – Heather was beginning to wonder if we ever would. You love the life you have by loving the life you are living now. You let yourself be an empowered dreamer, one who knows their dreams and takes Spirit-led action to allow them to occur.

You are one who feels your emotions, you stop and notice when something feels off and you course correct when you do. You are an empowered being here for an empowered life. Nothing less will do for you – ever. You wouldn’t want it any other way.

Now don’t worry about it if you buzz by your feelings right after this or right as you’re reading this. Just bring this concept into your awareness and begin playing with it, begin working with it, begin noticing it and shifting it whenever you catch yourself there. Slow down. Don’t say Yes or No too fast. Sink into it. What is the nudge? What are we whispering to you? What is your Higher Self saying? Tune in and you will love your life.

Because loving your life is more important than anything else in the world. No amount of money or receiving accolades from others or ANYTHING is more important or worth more to you than loving your life. What do you need to do to love your life today? Stop. Feel. Adjust your action, take Spirit-led action. And sit every day in loving appreciation of the life you are living and the life you are leading. Follow this and before you know it – tada! – a life you love every day.

We are complete.

The JOGs are talking Money…

For more about WTF is going on with these channeled messages from my Spirit team “The JOGs”, read here.

For those called to dive in – the JOGs went off on a very big topic, and had me in tears when I read it. Wow you all, WOW.

Xo

# # #

We want to talk about this topic of money because it’s an important one. There is so much misunderstanding around it and so much made up about it that does not serve you. In fact it harms you, it hinders you, it keeps you from the amazing being-ness that you are. It’s like you have used money as yet another reason not to be in awe of the divinity of who you really are.

And we can’t bear to see you do it. It’s excruciating to watch you struggle with something that is here for joy. Well, excruciating is a bit dramatic – how did you like it? We know humans love a good drama so we want to cater to your senses, cater to your mental abilities to process and understand what we are sharing with you here today.

Money is for you.

It was created as a vehicle for you to experience your worthiness, your Source self, your pleasure, your joy, your abundant awesomeness. If it wasn’t money it would have been something else, some other form of something to symbolize worth and be used for exchange.

So many spend so much time hating money, trying to create alternative economies, trying to avoid it in various different manners. But why? It all comes down to worth. It all comes down to value. And if you valued and loved yourself with the richness that we do, that Source does, you would not for a minute stand in any sort of judgment about money or about those that have it. You would know with absolute certainty that you are here – that just by being here – it is a symbol of your worthiness. When you know your worthiness there is no question.

So, you ask – how do I know my worthiness? So many of you struggle here.

How do you know your worthiness? You sit with yourself every day for as many times as you can during the day and you place both hands on your heart and you breathe, deep breaths, belly breaths, consciously connecting to your body-mind and at the same time activating the energetic field all around you with which we are right there with you in whispering in your ears, telling you how divinely amazing and luxuriously fabulous – we cannot fit in all of the qualifying adjectives here – but we want you to know that if you would just BE with yourself more regularly you would know. You would know that every aspect of you is divine. That you are beyond worthy. That asking the question about your worthiness is the most ridiculous question, preposterous really – we wouldn’t even think of it – Source wouldn’t even think of it.

You spend so much time avoiding yourself – in front of the TV, on the Internet, keeping yourself busy, busy, busy. When all you really need to do is sit with yourself. Feel your heart, feel your breath, feel your divine body. And over time you will remember more and more why you came and more and more that you are worthy. Look at yourself in the mirrors that you have, look straight into your beautiful eyes, look straight into the glory that is you. See, see, see how gorgeous you are? See how divine you are? We do, we see it nonstop, we can’t stop seeing it. And we want the same for you.

Because when you love yourself in that way, even just a taste of it, a taste of the love that we and Source have for you – once that begins – you don’t need to judge anyone else’s relationship with money or your own relationship with money. You can see what money is – a fun tool to support you in living the life you came here to live.

The better you feel about yourself, the less you ever need to judge or criticize another and their choices.

So, money, money, money – what is it here for? It’s a form of exchange, there must always be an exchange; rather there always is an exchange. You cannot take without there needing to be an exchange for that energy. You cannot give without there needing to be an exchange for that energy.

And how cool that you humans came up with a way to exchange that gives you the opportunity to be more free, to have more fun, to take care of yourselves and others.

Really, you just make way, way, way too much of it. It’s money, it’s here for your pleasure. How good you feel about yourself will be directly reflected in the flow of abundance and money in your life. How good you feel about yourself is directly related to your level of worthiness, your level of worthiness is directly related to your ability to know yourself on a deep Soul level. Your ability to know yourself on a deep Soul level is directly related to the amount of time you spend with yourself, being and appreciating who you are. Just for being alive.

Now we aren’t saying you have to spend days and hours upon hours sitting with yourself quietly, what some of you would call meditation and which we simply call part of your alignment “work”. But you must spend time every day like this. Anytime you feel “off” – go sit and be with yourself. Sometimes it will take 1 minute, other times 100 minutes. You will know. Your eyes will pop open and you’ll be ready for what is next.

Just be so much more easy about this than you are. Just appreciate yourself so much more than you do. Just bow to money in respect of knowing that there is a physical manifestation that you can gauge your alignment by. It’s not much more complicated than that. It’s really not.

We love you so very much and we so believe in you. Many of you are making this leap – you are seeing that money is energy and for play and that the better you feel about yourself, the better your relationship with money. And we are so so so so happy for you in that discovery. And we want you to keep on because you are so close to an even greater discovery about all of this…a discovery we cannot spoil for you just yet, but we look forward to continuing the conversation on…

Until next time.

All our love,

XoThe JOGs

You’ll Never Have to Vacation Again If You Do This…

A friend of mine said to me one random Thursday as we sat out on my deck overlooking the water, sipping champagne, “You always live like you’re on vacation. And when I spend time with you, I feel like I’m on vacation.”

I had never thought of my life that way, but he was right. I do live most of the time like I’m on vacation. In fact, right now I’m writing this article looking out at the sparkling Pacific Ocean at my favorite luxury hotel and in a few minutes I’ll head out to an evening wine tasting reception followed by dinner with two of my favorite people in the world at one of my favorite restaurants. And it’s only a Wednesday.

The truth is though, it wasn’t always like this for me.

I was raised to believe that the only honor in life came from struggle and sacrifice which meant working hard and barely getting by. I thought doing a job you loathed was just how people lived, and that living paycheck to paycheck was simply par for the course.

Over time though I began to hate living focused on when my next vacation would be to get through the day, while sucking it up around bosses and co-workers I would never choose to be around full-time and working my ass off for meager wages.

So, I did something radical. Or a continuous series of radical acts, that is.

I stopped playing the work-life-money game I had been raised with and decided that since this was my one life, I was not going to spend it working or living for the future. And over the course of the last seven years, I have been able to create a life that truly feels like I’m on vacation every day.

The great news is everyone who desires this can have it too.



Below are my top tips for how to live and work like you’re always on vacation:

1. Commit to it. This is your life and you have the right to live it exactly as your heart and soul desire. Make a commitment to stop working to live and embrace that you get to live the life of your dreams and your work can work around that. Besides we should only ever be doing work that we love. It’s a core soul desire as a human being.

2. Take inventory. What forms of “work” do you love? What forms of work make the time fly by? What people in your life do you absolutely adore being around? Where are your favorite places to vacation? Where do you feel most at home in the world? Journal your responses to all of these questions. Next, look at how you can live in the city/town that most lights you up, doing what you most love, surrounded by people you adore. Let yourself think big and far outside of the box. You have the ability to create your new normal which means letting go of limiting thoughts, beliefs and fears.

3. Which brings us to… let go of those limiting beliefs and fears that say you can’t live the life of your dreams and that make you stay in homes, relationships and work environments that don’t serve you. Find a practitioner you have a deep soul resonance with who can permanently release those limiting beliefs, fears and bullshit stories with you. As you evolve into more and more versions of your dream life, new limitations will emerge and that’s okay. At every new stage of my dream life, new limitations arise. I remind myself that this is an evolutionary journey and I won’t stop, cuz I can’t stop (there’s some old-school P-Diddy/112 for you). That means I receive regular (two to three times a month) soul alignment sessions and my spiritual “work” is my first priority. This allows me to be clearly tuned in to my soul’s desires (there’s a difference between a soul and mind desire) so that I stay on track in living the life my soul is here to live.



4. Take inspired action. You can stay languishing for years in what doesn’t work for you or pull the plug and take immediate action to live your dreams. Want to be a successful entrepreneur? Get a fun part-time job, hire an incredible business coach and/or take a spiritual business course and begin to build your business. Want to leave your current relationship? Find a cute studio in a part of town you’ve always wanted to live in, get weekly sessions set up with your therapist and then leave the relationship. Be balanced about the actions you take so that you set yourself up for success. Make sure it’s a full “yes” everywhere in your body and then go for it.

5. Stop doing things you don’t want to do. You know that obligatory girls lunch or happy hour? Or time with that one person who shall go unnamed that sucks the life force from your very body? Stop hanging out with them. Say no. Only spend time with people who uplift you. And if you’re anything like I was when I shifted my obligatory life into dream life mode — it may not leave you with anyone. That’s okay. Start attending events that do light you up and watch as you attract individuals who are more aligned to you.

6. Celebrate every moment that brings you joy. Every step along the way of crafting the life of your dreams should be honored and celebrated. Take yourself out for a mani/pedi, toast with a glass of champagne, go out to your favorite restaurant — every time you release something or someone that no longer serves you and step into living the next chapter of the life of your dreams in a new way — celebrate. What we focus on expands and when we place our focus on all of the good we are intentionally creating in our lives, more good will flow to us.



7. Create a dream team. You know how athletes and celebrities have a team of people dedicated to their awesome-ness? Yeah, well, you need that too. Have a team of people committed to supporting you in creating your dream life — your energy healer, your coach, your best friend, your lover — all on board to hold you to and support you in taking your life to new heights.

 

Make your life about what it is truly about, YOU having the best life ever. Treat every day as though it were the only day like it (it is), and watch as every day begins to feel like you’re on vacation. Soon, you won’t be taking vacations, you’ll be living one.
