Why Nothing You Do or Say Makes a Difference.....
Well, when I say it doesn't make a difference, I mean it doesn't actually do anything to make the changes you want. Whatever you do or say to change your life doesn't make the changes. Only the changes you make inside you result in the changes outside you. And here are a couple of analogies that help to explain this:
Mirror, Mirror....
"Out there" is a reflection of inside you (however unlikely that may seem at times). Trying to change "out there" by making changes to "out there" is like trying to make your lips in your reflection red, by putting lipstick on the mirror. When you put lipstick on your own lips, the lips you're looking at in the reflection are automatically red!
Printing...
Here's another way of looking at it:
When you're printing documents, if you want them printed in colour, but they're printing in black only, putting colour ink on the page will of course not change them in the way you want - to be printed in colour. You need to change the ink cartridge in the printer, to a colour one. Then, the pages that print will automatically be in colour.
Now, these make sense to us because we know what mirrors are, and we know how printers work. However, if you were to put a mirror in front of someone who had never come across one before, and told them to make those lips red, they are most likely to try and put the lipstick on the mirror. And it would make absolutely no sense to them at first (until of course they tried it), that changing the colour of their own lips would change the colour of those they're looking at in the mirror.
The same with the printer. If someone had never come across a printer before, and it was continuously printing out pages black and white, and you told them the pages need to be in colour, they would most likely try to make the pages colour by putting colour ink on the pages themselves. And if you were to say to them, the only way to make those pages colour is to in fact open the printer and change the ink cartridge, it would make no sense to them at first. They would be looking at the pages and wondering what on earth the inside of the printer has to do with those pages they're looking at right now.
In both these cases, it's only if that person trusts enough to suspend disbelief for the time being, and tries making the changes "inside" despite how unlikely it seems looking at the "evidence" in front of them.... that they will then experience the results, and from then on be able to make the changes effectively. :)
So, to experience others loving you, you need to love you - that's like changing the printing cartridge from black (no love, or whatever other negativity is playing out), to colour (love for yourself). Love for others is great, but if you don't love yourself, and you love others... that's the cartridge you have in - love for others... and that's naturally then what will be printing... love for others. ;) To get the result of love for you, you need to put a cartridge in that includes the "colour": love for you.
In fact, I'm going to take this printing analogy a little further: Let's say, you want love from others, and that is equal to blue ink - so you need to make sure that your printer cartridge includes blue ink. Then, let's say you also want laughter and happiness... and that is equal to yellow ink - so you need to make sure you add yellow ink to your cartridge. And then, let's say you also want respect from the people you live and work with.... and that is equal to red ink - so you need to make sure that you add red ink to that ink cartridge.
OR.... you could replace it all with one ultimate colour cartridge which contains alllllllll the colours you could ever need, and then some! And that ultimate colour cartridge is called unconditional love. If you keep yourself topped up with unconditional love (and that's unconditional love for yourself and then everything and everyone else - you can't give it unless you're full of it! ;) ) then the outside of you will automatically reflect alllllll the changes you want! :) Because unconditional love contains all the colours, whatever it is you desire, the right colour is already in your cartridge, and will print automatically.
I do hope this makes sense and doesn't sound like I've been smoking my socks ;)

When There's Too Much Anger or Hurt...
If you can't get past anger or hurt, trying to forgive or use any healing tool can be like putting a bandage on an infected wound. When there is that much damage, the festering, ugly stuff needs to be cleaned out first, before putting a bandage on the clean wound, and then it can heal.
Here's an exercise that is extremely effective in cleaning out the infection so that the healing can begin:
Find a time when you can be alone and undisturbed. Get yourself a cup of tea or whatever else you'd like, and sit down in front of the computer, or with a pen and (large! ;) ) notepad. Think back to the first time you felt this hurt or anger that is now plaguing your life. You're going to write a letter to the person or people who originally made you feel this way. You're going to write a letter to them, but you won't be giving it to them.
The brilliant thing about this is: The subconscious doesn't know the difference between you writing the letter, and that person receiving it! :) The process of writing the letter is registered by the subconscious as you having said those things to the person themselves.
When you write, make sure you are uncensored! Rant and rave, swear, cuss, USE ALL CAPS and lots of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure you say absolutely everything that comes to you - even stuff that's completely unreasonable or unfairly accusing. The person is never going to see it.
As far as your subconscious is concerned, you've stood up for yourself, and you've had your say.
When you've finished writing the letter, read it back. Keep it to re-read later if you want to. Once you feel you're finished with it, delete it, or tear it up if it's on paper (some people like to burn it ceremoniously).
After you've done this, try and have a sleep if you can - you'll probably feel drained, and the subconscious processes a lot while you're asleep.
Let me know if you have any questions or queries.

Making Difficult Decisions
This morning I had a request for advice from someone who has a very difficult decision to make, and after replying to her, I realised others may find this process useful as well - it works for any difficult decisions...
"I understand your dilemma - it's tricky to know whether to take the chance or not, and what will happen if you do. Here's what I suggest:
1. Decide not to decide for the moment.
Decide to wait a couple of days before making a decision.
2. Make sure you're treating yourself well - remember, this is the control panel for everything in your life. How you treat you (including what you say and think to yourself and about yourself) is setting the controls for what you experience from the world around you.
3. Do the unconditional love exercises - filling yourself with unconditional love first, then sending it to him and the whole situation. Send it to all possible scenarios - whether you go or whether you don't, and whatever the results may be - send love to all possibilities regardless.
4. After two days of this, decide you are going. Don't do anything about it yet, just "wear" the decision for one day. Decide you're going, and during the day take notice of how you're feeling.
5. The next day, decide you're not going. Again, for one day "wear" the decision that you're not going... and take notice during the day of how you're feeeeling.
You will know by then what the best thing is to do. :) This process will bring your instinctual knowledge to the surface. You know subconsciously what would be best to do, and this process will bring it to conscious awareness.
And, as always, follow what feels good in the moment - it will lead you to what you want even when it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. ;)
Hope this helps.

Why Are the Results Taking so Long?
It's important to remember the time-delay (which varies from an instant to months and years!)
What you're experiencing right now is a result of previous thinking - but right now, in this instant, you are creating what is to come, and you have complete and ultimate power over that! :)
So when you're not seeing the changes you want, remind yourself: "This is from previous creations of mine. Right now, I'm creating new stuff, which will show when it's ready, as long as I keep in alignment with what I want right now in this moment - by following what feels good, and doing what it takes to feeeeel good."
Sometimes it helps to think of it in a gardening context.... :)
These weeds I'm looking at right now, are the result of those seeds I sowed without realising it, months ago. Right now, I'm sowing the seeds for the flowers I like, and as long as I keep sowing these seeds for the flowers I want, and I don't sow any more of the weed seeds, then evenentually the weeds will run their course, die off, and in the meantime, the plants I want will be growing (of course, I'll water them each day, by focusing on whatever makes me feel good).

The Non-Judgement Day Exercise
Write down the time right now, then see how long you can go without judging or criticizing. If you catch yourself being critical or judgemental, and you're able to correct yourself in the moment, and change your thoughts - great, keep going. But when you find you allow yourself to continue being judgemental or critical in the moment, write the time down then, and take note of how long you lasted. Then, tomorrow, do the same thing. See if you can increase that time each day. :) And remember - this includes (most importantly) self criticism and judgement. ;) This is not just an interesting exercise - it will, over time, improve your state of being, and in turn, what you create and attract in your life, along with your overall happiness. :)

When You Seem to be Surrounded by Negativity...
[image error]
"Darkness cannot survive in light, but a light can shine in the dark" - Odille Rault
When you're dealing with people or situations that are negative, remember that negativity cannot survive in positive energy - just like darkness cannot survive in light - but positive energy can shine in the middle of negativity. It's a matter of choosing to shine your torch in the dark - no matter how dark it is. In fact, the darker it is, of course, the more reason to switch on that torch! ;)
You are the only one who has control over your thoughts, you have the power to shine no matter what others are doing, and no matter what's going on "out there" - you can switch your torch on anyway! How fabulous is that! :)

The Hall of Mirrors
"Imagine you were born and raised in one of those carnival Halls of Mirrors - the ones that distort your reflection. So, everywhere around you, is a distorted image of you. You don’t know it’s distorted - you’ve never seen any other image of yourself.
"Then you go outside, and there you see other people - who all look so good. And you compare yourself to them. And you say “What’s wrong with me! Why can’t I be like that? Why can’t I be like them? They’re so.......... and I’m so.............”
"And you don’t know that you are perfect - because you’ve only ever seen your reflection in the Hall of Mirrors.
"The mirrors in the Hall of Mirrors are the fears and beliefs of certain people around you growing up, and the beliefs and experiences you’ve collected - and everything else that shapes your self image from birth onwards.
"To find out what you’re REALLY like, you need to Trust, and notice and recognize the evidence around you of how much you love yourself. And then you’ll realize that when you stepped outside - those were not other people - those were REAL mirrors - showing Accurate Reflections of YOU! You just didn’t recognize yourself at first! : )"
- Excerpted from "Beyond the Magic Pill - a collection of the insights of Illusions"

Easy Magic for All Kinds of Challenges...
When you feel worried, frustrated, angry, or anything else that's less than fabulous.. and when you face challenges... and when you experience hurt or disrespect from others... try this little exercise.
Imagine a child you love (or a pet, or anyone you love really), and imagine they're upset/ hurt/ angry/ frustrated/ sad... AND they don't understand your language. Now imagine you're giving them a reassuring hug - a hug to reassure them that no matter what happens, you love them. Take note of what that hug feeeeels like.
Next, imagine you're giving that same hug to yourself. Try to get that same feeeeling.
Now, whenever you're in a situation when you're upset, angry, frustrated, frightened, worried, anxious, sad, dissapointed, hurt, concerned.... etc. imagine giving yourself that same reassuring hug. The hug that says, without words, "I love you no matter what." The more you do it, the easier and more powerful it becomes. Watch the magic. :)
Try it! It's much more powerful than it sounds! :)
What you're doing, amongst many other things, is:
* Filling yourself with unconditional love (your superpower)
* Changing your state of mind and focus in the moment
* Changing the rate at which you're vibrating
* Changing damaging patterns and childhood programming
* Changing the course of how the rest of your day goes from then on
* Changing your experience of the people around you on a quantum level
This works on a long-term ongoing basis, but it also works magic in the moment. And the more you do it, the more powerful the results! :)
Enjoy!
Let me know if you have any queries, and what your experience is with this - I'd love to hear your feedback. :)
