Instead of just walking for exercise, why not combine it with a Manifestation Practice? Try taking a Meditative Walk (or drive) along a street that corresponds with the energy you would like to invoke to manifest your intention. This can serve as an effective strategy/ritual to materialize your desire into being.
Consider and notice all the streets in your area that might align with your desires. Some of the common ones I like to use are Union St, Rt 111, 4th Ave, New St, 8th Ave, just to name a few. I use Unions St when I want connection with something(a soul aligned job, a circle of new friends, my HigherSelf). The angel number 111 signifies being on the right path, so I have used this for support and strength to DO the actions I need to do to remain aligned on my Highest Self path while driving on Rt 111. The Number 4 represents the falling of old structure and rebuilding new. I do a meditative walk on 4th ave when I have intentions of releasing old behavior, conditioning, beliefs and desire to establish new ones. Its fun and easy to begin a manifestation meditation walk. Here’s how:
When your intention is clear, establish an affirmation or mantra that reflects your desire. For example when I walked on Union St, I affirmed:” I am now in union with my soul aligned job” or “I am now in union with my Highest Self” etc.
As you say the words(in your head), visualize yourself feeling the feelings that reflect your intention. Visualize yourself DOING your intention.
Imagine the road is full of the power/energy you need to create your desire.(Ex:connnection/union) Breathe in that energy, from the road, into your feet and then all the way up to your head. You can imagine the energy as white light.
Practice FEELING the energy you are taking in from name of the street.
Alternate with the vision of power/energy coming in from the street with the vision of you doing/feeling your intention.
Obviously, you want to make sure you stay mindful of traffic and other pedestrians.
If you do this as a meditative drive, I would recommend doing it as a passenger:-)
Here is a strategy, a quick little ritual that can help you practice and implement a new way of earning a living and meeting your needs/desires. It all begins with cultivating a new belief system… unplugging from the old programs of limitation.
Imagine your needs and desires are easily met as you receive income from doing what lights you up…receiving income from ideas born of your imagination. Maybe you have an idea for a service or a product…maybe you have an idea for creating better systems…whatever it is, SEE and FEEL yourself as fulfilled, free,safe, joyful doing this thing.
2. Practice standing firm in this belief in Tree Pose, as pictured above.(It is fine if your foot is at ankle or anywhere else on your standing leg that feels comfortable.) The idea is to experience the feeling of grounding firm, feeling balanced in the belief that needs/desires can be met with ease, through the use of your creativity/imagination instead of alot of efforting.
3. Bring your arms up and open or at your sides and open as if you are demonstrating your willingness to receive the abundance the Universe wants to offer you. Bring your breath and awareness to your feeling of willingness to RECEIVE and IMPLEMENT this new belief. Practice feeling safe and trusting there is a new, easier way to meet your needs/desires. Continue imagining yourself earning $$ from doing projects you are excited and passionate about doing.
4. Affirm in your head (or if you are comfortable, out loud): “I stand FIRM in the currency of imagination…I am RICH in the currency of Imagination, which enables me to meet my needs and desires.” Repeat this and FEEL the truth in the words..Breathe deep, exhale this belief down into your “roots”…FEEL safe in this new belief.
5.Repeat for 5 minutes or longer if you feel comfortable. Change standing legs as you need to. Get grounded in the Feeling, trust in the new belief, exhale/release the old way of believing you need to work hard at a 9-5 grind in order to have your needs/desires met.
6.In numerology, the number 4 symbolizes breaking down old structures(beliefs, conditioning) and establishing new structure, belief, conditioning. It is an added benefit of amplified energy if you do this practice at 4(either a.m or pm) It serves to enhance the energy of letting go of the old and building the new. If that isnt convenient, it’s not a big deal.
In my experience, I have noticed that often times personal power is defined as”speaking up” …”speaking your truth” …but maybe there are also other expressions of power that need to be considered and valued.
I have been experimenting with a new way of handling conflict and feelings of offense that for me,has enhanced my energy and expanded my heart.
When I feel an initial trigger, a charge…a feeling of offense or judgement from something someone says or does, I remind myself “Don’t take this personally…it has nothing to do with you…Everyone is operating from their own experience of unhealed trauma”.
This practice has been life changing for me. It allows me to stay centered in my own worth and power then directs me to respond with compassion towards the perceived “offender”.
I have often struggled with feelings of frustration and low self esteem because I couldn’t express power as I had been conditioned to do so…it just wasn’t my nature. I spent so much time and energy in judging myself as “less then” because I couldn’t respond with a snarky comment to “put people in their place”…”tell them a thing or two” etc etc…This way never resonated with me, however, when I am able to recognize that the things other’s say or do has nothing to do with my worth, it is so easy NOT to give it any energy and soar high above the drama, being totally uninfluenced, unruffled by their comments or actions.
For me this process began with a regular practice of affirming my worth daily. I believe that a positive sense of self worth is the foundation of good mental health.
How do you express your personal power?

Sweet Sunny butterscotch and some packets of stevia tucked besides stones of bumblebee Jasper and citrine believed by the way to promote prosperity and purpose I smile with the light imagining the potent alchemy occurring in such an unsuspecting place as my pocket energy of ingredients mixing a bowl my hip bless, fusing with esteem purpose and Power mingling I see, feel and hold the luscious vision of my desire and action offer, a type of baking powder to make things rise with stevia stones and butterscotch faith and feeling deserving I summon and serve myself a life of fulfillment
What is your vision of a fulfilling life? What are you doing to move towards it? What do you believe needs to happen before you can entertain this fulfilling life? Is that REALLY true? Are you able to challenge your belief? Your thinking? Your perception? Can you believe that you really are able to achieve it sooner than later? Is it really true that we need to effort so much for the things we want?
I have been seriously contemplating this idea…what if it really doesn’t have to be as hard as we make it? What if we allow ourselves a little slack and lighten up about what is required of us? What if we just had fun in the process….being gentle and patient with ourselves… working as our energy,desire and curiosity directs us…. being present to and utilizing the energy that propels us forward, towards a fulfilling life… What if we allowed the examining and transforming of limiting thoughts beliefs and behaviors to excite us to a new way of being, living…the pleasure in the planning and pursuing:-)What if the path to fulfilling purpose and experiencing bliss is paved with time spent in pleasure and presence? I plan to experiment with this concept. How about you?

In the wake of daily reporting of severe school violence, I know I am not alone in this experience. I suspect there are tons of kids who share the feelings I described above.(who by the way, grow into adults who often remain in this same frame of mind)
I am so deeply sickened and saddened when I hear news of death, destruction and injury, but even more so in a school environment.
“Aggression results from a desperation to be heard” said Luis Mojica, an Alternative & Holisic Healer(check out his podcast:Holistic Life Navigation…he is amazing) I believe it is of utmost importance to cultivate skills and foster an environment, to hold, witness and support a person in whatever the emotional place they are experiencing.
In order to accomplish this, we must be willing to break down systems that have proven fruitless in fostering wellbeing(healthcare, educational, governmental) and attend to restructuring them in so they serve the highest good of the people.
More then anything, this holiday season, I wish for the development of systems that support and nurture good mental health. I pray that people will have willingness as well as opportunity to easily access opportunities that offer tools that teach how to:
Maintain unshakeable self esteem regardless of any outside influence
Have power and permission to SAFELY speak your Truth
Be ACCEPTED and RESPECTED)for the TRUTH you’ve expressed(others don’t have to like it, but they DO need to ACCEPT and RESPECT it)
Process feelings, experience, thought, belief, perception…let go of what doesnt serve and build new forms that hold your highest good.
I believe education in these skills should be as common as the requirement for learning reading, writing and arithemetic.
For myself, it hasn’t been easy, but this unlearning and relearning has been an incredible, liberating journey. It has been exciting and empowering to release these limiting beliefs and give rise and structure to new expansive ways of being.

This is my Christmas wish for the world: free, easy access to knowledge and support, that promotes transformative, empowering healing, for the mental wellbeing of all humans.
Frequently, family and friends will inquire, “how is Sarah doing? Is she working? Going to school?”
When I respond, “She is doing well…she spent two years working and saving and now is taking time to practice some self care and considering in what direction she would like to move towards next” , I am often met with an energy of judgement…that this decision of hers is not deemed worthy or productive enough to satisfy societal standards. This generates a sense of resentment within me and a deep desire to defend my dear daughter.
What I’d really like to say, and what most people aren’t prepared to hear is, “Sarah is doing thework of cultivating self-awareness…mending and tending to the repair of old wounds…even ancestral wounds…processing thought patterns, behavior patterns that have caused suffering down through the lineages…with great devotion and commitment. Despite not be getting monetarily paid for this work, it is indeed of great value”
In her endless hours of meditation, journaling, body work and creating, she remains, in her room cocoon and then emerges, the butterfly, with rich insights to share with me and the new practices of healthier behaviors. I will always champion her efforts to heal what is hurting within her, recognizing that as she does a deep dive into her inner world she is becoming better prepared to serve others in this difficult but fulfilling labor.
I experience fierce frustration when I am reminded of the limiting definition of worthwhile work. I will always defend Sarah’s desire to take this time to explore her thoughts, feelings, beliefs and discover how they connect to ancestral conditioning.
I admire her so much for her ability to let go of the expectation to conform to traditional work, and honor her inner guidance, regardless of the opinions of others. She is brave, not bypassing what is needful, with busyness and needless activity of distraction.
She is courageously, consciously swimming into the pain…alchemizing it with her breath and attention into healthy attitudes and behaviors that will support her wellness. This is by far, is some of the most valuable work one can pursue.
Making connections and discerning what is true and what is false… creating beauty from those insights… Practicing patience in the processing of so much information… Identifying ancestral wounds that remain in her body and tending to them… Developing skills of the Healer is valuable work.
Her main job right now is of an Explorer on a journey of self discovery while attending the University of Life… and who knows the extent of the influence her healing work will have on the world?
I hope we, as a collective consciousness can begin to successfully promote the legitimacy of this type of work.
I hear so many people lament,”I can’t wait until things get back to normal”
I believe it is possible to continue living a satisfying life despite the perceived limits that the pandemic has created.
Tapping into your resourcefulness and creativity can help to shift your perception as well as your experience.
Here are 3 Ways to Cope with NOW …and prevent further suffering
1.Ask yourself what exact “normal thing” do I miss? What is the feeling attached to that particular thing/experience and consider how you might be able to simulate it within the constraint’s of the pandemic?
For example,maybe you miss the high energy of going to a bar … the music…the dancing..and of course the cocktails:-)Wny not recreate a bar atmosphere at home? Clear some furniture,dim the lighting,crank the tunes,blend some margaritas, dress up in your hottest outfit, open your mind and party with the ones you live with, or take it outside with a few close,masked friends.
Additionally,there is also partying virtually with friends and family.
2. Consider using this time as a time of self refection, learning to enjoy your own company with alot of acceptance and compassion. Take this opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings,beliefs,perceptions.
It is extremely healing and exciting to come into a more intimate, compassionate relationship with oneself. ..to gain clarity around who you are and why you’re here…It is one of the most empowering experiences to identify your shadows(beliefs that prevent you from expressing your Highest Self)and to move through them. A better relationship with yourself will result in the improvement of all your other connections. Practice getting to know yourself and reap the benefits.
3. Consider your feeling around wearing a mask. Reflect upon the metaphor of the “masks” we wear that cover our Highest Selves.
Explore the mask of limiting belief, the programmed perceptions and conditionnings based in fear that we have been brought up with. Yes,it is time to remove THIS mask.
Furthermore,it may be clarifying to examine the concept of “I can’t breathe” with a mask on. What situations/relationships in your life feel suffocating? How can you shift your perception to promote the ability to”breathe easier…fuller?
If you are feeling deprived of affection due to the restrictions from the pandemic, get creative and resourceful to practice alternative ways of expressing affection if you are concerned with contracting Covid.
Alternatively begin and maintain a healthier lifestyle that enhances your immune system, potentially decreasing your concern of catching the virus. Realize your personal power to prevent infection. Practice healthy eating, sleeping,stress management, daily movement, processing experience, letting go of trauma and triggers… writing a new narrative for yourself… just to name a few;-)
opening the door of self exploration and practicing one’s ability to adapt, can ease the suffering caused by the Covid 19 pandemic
Chances are pretty good that we will NOT return to”normal”anytime soon. The best medicine is to go with the flow and do your best to acknowledge and adapt to the present.
I noticed this big Mama by my recycling bins…So…Me, being a serious student of discerning Divine Signs sent by the Universe/God, I allowed myself to watch this scene,as if I was peering into a crystal ball to divine the message being sent to me via Madame Spider;-)
I took a few breaths and gently concentrated my gaze, contemplating the tidings meant for me, from her.
She was perfectly still in the middle of her web. Waiting for several seconds.
Then, having felt some slight indication that sustenance was served, she stepped lively to the source, wrapped it tightly in her silky threads, then darted in the opposite direction to repeat the process on another morsel she had captured.
Completing the preparation, she proceeded to consume her feast.
While watching, I felt the information being offered to me, via Madame Spider:) …I became deeply aware of the need for me to practice conscious stillness…to be willing…open, prepared, to receive experiences and opportunities that will nourish me…I felt inspired to exercise expanded awareness…to notice when it arrives… and to courageously consume, take in, experience the nourishment it has to give.
Do you notice Divine Signs? Do you respond to their messages? 🙂
