Quantum-Charged Success: Love it. Feel it. Be it. Live it!
Hello all you fabulous Quantum Creators out there! I’m always evolving new ways to enable you to enter into your fabulousness, live life to your full potential and manifest your dreams. We all have to deal with challenges in our lives and often no matter how much we’d like it to be different, there are no short-cuts to success. However, having said that I don’t believe we should have to struggle or give up on our dreams. And even if your dream is going to require study or effort, we can smooth things along for you, allow you to enjoy and get more out of your journey and feel more vibrant, alive and connected to your passion as you do. So the only thing I have to ask is: Are you ready?
Lovin’ It: First of all – and this is the key to success in any venture – you’ve got to love it. What you want to be or achieve has to fire you up with passion. Check that your goal does this. Our goals can change over time and the vision for your future that got you excited five years ago may not be exactly the same today. So, before we go any further check that you still feel the same about your goal. There’s no point in putting all your fabulous time, energy and creative zing into something that no longer rocks your world so fine-tune your vision at this point if necessary. If you’re revved up you’re ready for the next step which is:
Feelin’ It: Take that feeling of passion and excitement about your future and play with it for a while. For example – once you have your goal no matter what it is, take note of not only how you feel but how you might have changed externally and well as internally. When we reach a major milestone in our lives we are changed on the inside and once this happens our ‘outside’ reflects that change. What do you look like? Are you dressed differently? If so, how? Are you surrounded by different things? For example if your goal is a fabulous new home take note of how you have furnished it as well as your feelings as you go from room to room. What is on your desk if you goal is that corner office? How does the way you look or the things that surround you in this future make you feel?
Bein’ It: Now take the feelings and the information you received during the previous step and bring them into your reality right now. If you looked or dressed differently then start looking and dressing that way. Okay, if you saw yourself dressed in Prada and right now you can only afford to shop at Primark I’m not for one minute suggesting you go get into debt by buying things you can’t afford. But chances are there are elements of this future you can have right now such as a haircut or make-up. You can go buy a small but beautiful object to put into your future home or a smart fountain pen or organiser that you’ll use when you get that fabulous job. The important thing is that you start to live as if you already had the life, home or job you imagined. Like an actor you can begin to ‘dress the part’ and surround yourself with things that allow you to remain connected to your feelings of having attained your goal. You are now one step away from -
Livin’ It: Your subconscious mind cannot distinguish between what you visualise and what is real. With the added super-charged ‘oomph’ of your passion, emotional connection and ‘playing for real’ as I like to think of the previous step, you should now be projecting a fabulous energy vibe that is set to attract the opportunities, people and synchronicities you need to reach your goal.
Remember – we have our dreams for a reason. So, super-charge them with these simple steps and get ready to make them a reality in a way that’s easier than you could possibly imagine.

Raise Your Love Vibe – Venus and the Second Chakra
If you’re a regular visitor to this site or our sister site Astrology Knight then you know by now that the planet Venus in astrology rules not only our love life but our bank account, self-worth and self-esteem. If we step back a moment it’s easy to see the connection here. When we value ourselves – the world reflects those values back at us – or not if our self-esteem is lacking.
But astrology – and Venus for that matter, is about more than just horoscopes but impacts on other areas of our lives – including the chakra system. When we look at the chakra system in the human body many people focus on the heart chakra – the fourth chakra which sits between the three lower (which represent our link to the physical world, our ego and our creativity) and the three higher chakras which link our mind, spirit and soul to the universe. The heart chakra is seen as the bridge between these – where love seeks to reconcile them. However, when it comes to raising our love and attraction ‘vibe’ as opposed to our ability to give love, it is the second chakra we need to be concentrating on and this is also ruled by the planet Venus.
Creativity, love and money are all Venus and second chakra ruled themes. They are all part of the same energy and this energy is all about passion and abundance. The second chakra is actually located about two inches below your belly button and in Sanskrit is called Svadisthana which means ‘your own place or base’. It is associated with the colour orange and is where our creative energy resides, It is also where love begins – like the 5th house in astrology rules romance. Love of what we do begins here and of course, loving what we do and following our passion is the key to living an abundant life!
So, if you want to ‘raise your love vibe’ in order to attract in either that special someone, more money or abundance on any level, how can this chakra help us? When we meditate on the second chakra by imagining a beautiful orange water lily or spinning wheel we are directly linking to its energy. This can really jump start our subconscious mind which responds by showing us ways we can love and support ourselves first and that is by working on our self-worth. Because this chakra rules ‘your own place’ – in other words who we are, we begin to appreciate ourselves more. As we do, we start to act in ways that support ourselves. When we feel supported and worthwhile we become independent both emotionally and financially – and because we are no longer ‘needy’ this leads to us making good emotional choices.
We also become more invested in our own talents and abilities and start to value them. As our confidence increases we are less concerned whether or not we are coming across like others but instead realise our power lies in us being – well – us.
As we tap into this unlimited resource of self-love energy an incredible thing starts to happen. The energy we put out there – our ‘love vibe’ changes and we begin to attract people who are tuned into a similar vibe – in other words they also are tuned into their own second chakra power (whether they know it or not), and are on a similar path to us. As we express our creativity in whatever our unique way is, the energy starts to move up from the second chakra and into the third and from there into the fourth. When this happens, then when love arrives (which it will) it is more likely to be a fulfilling rather than a frustrating experience for us!
Wearing something orange, lighting orange candles, bringing the colour orange into your home are all ways you can continue to connect to this energy if you don’t have time to meditate.
So, love and value yourself, express your creativity as this is the means by which your soul expresses itself here on Earth and know that as you do, you’re continually raising your ‘love vibe’ and broadcasting you’re ready to receive abundance in all areas of your life.
Spirit Talking: How to Know if You Are Receiving Messages From ‘the Other Side’
Just as I believe we are all psychic to some degree, I also believe that we all have the ability to ‘tune in’ to messages from loved ones on the other side – without necessarily thinking of ourselves as a medium. Very often spirits can get in touch (or try to) in ways that may be easy to miss or else our rational minds tend to dismiss them. Also, if we’ve just lost someone we can be so cloaked in grief that we miss the signs we are being sent that are meant to reassure us!
There are many ways spirits can get in touch with us but here are some of the most common:
Dreams: Loved ones on the other side often choose to talk to us or appear in your dreams – and also they know this is the least frightening way. Often the person may appear to be more real than they were when they were alive – this is because the veils that exist between their human self and their quantum self no longer exist. If you have a dream visitation then try to write down as much as you can remember the moment you wake up. You may also find that you will recall more over the next few days as you review the experience. Again, write down everything you can remember. This is not your subconscious at work but real communication.
Visions: Did you think you just saw someone out of the corner of your eye but when you turned around no-one was there? Some people may even see a mist or outline but we rarely see the whole being. This doesn’t mean they are not there – or that you are imagining it. Sometimes in the moment between sleeping and waking you may even catch a glimpse of the whole person.
Electricity and Technology: No, it may not be a Mercury retrograde or a power surge causing your lights to flicker, an appliance to switch itself on or off or your computer to go on the fizz. Your phone rings but nobody’s there. That song that suddenly comes on the radio or you turn on your TV to the show that used to be your loved ones favourite? Do you really think it’s a coincidence?
Time: You keep waking up at the same time every night for no reason. I have even heard of this happening and the person waking up repeatedly at the exact time their loved one passed over.
Moving Experiences: You’re certain you left that object on the table. Nobody else has been in the room so what’s it doing on the mantelpiece? Don’t be afraid if this kind of thing happens. People who loved you in life do not change and become scary once they have left their bodies behind. This is a way of saying ‘Hi, I’m still here’.
Touch, feeling and smell: Was that your grandmother’s favourite perfume you just caught a whiff of? Do you sense you are no longer alone in the room even if noone is with you? Did the temperature just drop or did you feel a change in the air around you as if someone brushed your skin or just walked past? Have you ever been someone and thought someone was staring at you and then turned to discover somebody was? These kinds of experiences or ‘visits’ from loved ones are usually accompanied by you feeling at peace and loved. You know everything will be okay – and most of all that the person you love is okay as well.
Remember, as hard as it is to lose someone we love we need to remember that we are all eternal sparks of energy and part of the universal consciousness. And these kinds of messages from our loved ones are sent with the intention of letting us know that their energy cannot be lost – they are still with us but in a higher vibrational form. Love is after all, the highest vibrational energy in the universe. We just need to be tuned in to receive their messages.
