Book Review
The Power of Intention, Learning to Co-Create Your World Your Way by Dr. Wayne Dyer
This profound book was one of my earliest influences in Conscious Creation. Intention is the key to setting the course for our future, and understanding its critical importance in our lives is essential for anyone who wishes to live a fulfilling existence. Part 1 of this book deals with the principles of intention, offering true stories and examples showing how to make the connection. Dyer identifies the attributes of the all-creating Universal mind of intention as creative, kind, loving, beautiful, expanding, endlessly abundant and receptive, explaining the importance of emulating this source of creativity. In Part II, Dyer offers an intention guide with specific ways to apply the co-creating principles in daily life. Part III is an exhilarating description of Dyer’s vision of an individual connected at all times to the Universal mind of intention. Definitely a must on the Conscious Creators’ library shelf!

Conscious Creation Tip
Bless Your Money!
The next time you wince when you pay a bill, or dread paying for something, note this feeling–for it is one of the factors that contributes to your financial strain. Our conscious and unconscious dreads, fears and anxieties about money constrict our flow of Conscious Creation. However, there is a simple easy-to-remember way to open up that channel of abundance. BLESS YOUR MONEY! Bless it when it comes in. Bless it when you pay a bill, knowing that you are contributing to economic liquidity. Bless it when you deliver it to the cashier because you are helping to keep that business healthy so it can be there for your convenience. Bless it when you give it to anyone or provide it for any purpose because somewhere in the chain you are helping someone else in need earn food and shelter. Bless it because it’s a joyful form of energy! (Money=a fair exchange of energy for a service or product.) Bless it when you give it away to help someone else. Bless it because it helps create your abundance. Just take out a dollar bill right now and kiss it! And say thanks for the grace it affords you.
Now just remember this whenever you have that sense of money pressure or lack! Instantly start blessing your money and very possibly you will soon begin to see those dollars multiply! I see my bills in a whole different light since I began doing this! And I actually feel good about paying them!
The Secret Life of Bees
This weekend brought a lovely film that demonstrated the power of both love and Conscious Creation. The rapidly growing-up Dakota Fanning plays a 14-year-old living in a lonely household with an abusive and uncaring father after an early family tragedy. Her one desire is to have someone to love her as her mother would have done had she been alive. By the end of this charming film, she had more "mothers" than she can count, all loving her profoundly. It is through the power of her passionate desire for love that she indeed creates it. This film, The Secret Life of Bees, with Queen Latifa as the beekeeper to whom Fanning flees, is well worth the time.
What Would My Soul Do?
Most of the time when we are faced with choices and decisions, we anguish over them because of all of the baggage that we have built up over the years. Our decisions are made more difficult because of fears, anxieties, past memories and other emotions that press in from all corners. We allow our mind chatter, mistrust and self doubts to project all kinds of negative consequences and these either cause indecision, delayed decision or the wrong decision. Even if we make the right decision, we have anguished over it and suffered the painful process of sorting through the baggage before we get to the relief of commitment. And then, even, we may second guess ourselves.
Now just imagine that you were your soul. Your soul is filled with light and joy! This incredible being vibrates with love and peace. It is completely trusting in the Universe to guide it, and has at hand the faith that every decision is one that will lead to its highest good. And if the decision doesn’t appear at first to be a clear path to expansion, than the soul knows that this is a valuable lesson that will redirect it to the light. This soul has a knowingness, it taps into the Zero Point or Unified Field to gain information that allows it to make a good decision, it relies on an intuition that is always right. The soul is a repository of integrity and honesty, making choices that show honor for its existence and honor for the other souls in which it comes in contact. This soul recognizes that we are all one and that there is no separation between beings, so it blesses each contact with another soul with love, kindness and compassion. It sees in each and every other being that soul’s dignity and demonstrates appreciation for the path it has taken.
Essentially, your soul is a clean slate that brings only its joy and love to the party. It doesn’t have all of the other baggage that your earthly human life has amassed. It is free of all restrictions, pain, anquish and limitations. All it asks is “does this lead me to expansion, light and love?”
So, as you go about your life, why not ask “What Would My Soul Do?” Just let go of all of the other mind chatter, pair back to basics and ask this one simple question: “What Would My Free, Expansive, Happy Spirit Do In This Circumstance?”
Get quiet, go deep into yourself and just open the door for your soul to answer.
Unencombered by all of the worries, anxieties and history, your soul can make a clear decision based on your highest good. With the freedom of not being weighed down, it can fly! It will soar with the knowledge of the right decision, guided by the Universe, embraced by God. Note how this feels to you in your emotional core! Clear, joyful, easy, peaceful, confident, relieved? That’s what you should be feeling if your soul takes the lead.
Now you may still have to consider the consequences to others close to you when you make your decision, but at least you will have the wisdom of knowing what your spirit believes is right for you before you make your final commitment. And this clear knowledge and wisdom should be given the weightiest consideration. If you must compromise your soul’s guidance to accommodate the circumstances, than at least use this wisdom as a compass to where you ultimately want to go. And begin Consciously Creating a good outcome for the decision you have to make and for an even better opportunity in the future to fully implement your soul’s guidance.
“What Would My Soul Do?” Whether this is about a relationship, a career move, a financial decision, a health matter, or anything else…This one question can simplify your life, allow you to drop away all of the inessentials that hold you back when you are faced with a situation, enable you to see more clearly what is truly in your highest good, focus on what is really important, be decisive, and blaze a trail to a happier, more productive, more relevant and more soul-satisfying life.

Conscious Creation Tip
Becoming Aware of Love
As we go about our days, we often become insensitive to the power of love in our lives. With all of the other pressures that build up, we often take love for granted. We also sometimes lose sight of our ability to Consciously Create more love in our lives. I have begun doing an exercise that I want to share with you that might help you attract more love in your life, and remember to appreciate what you already do have. Each day, under the heading of “How I Have Given or Received Love Today,” I record at least 10 ways that I have given or received love that day. It could be a friend who signs off a phone call saying “I love you and miss you,” to my hugging my neighbor’s cat. It might be loving myself by putting an extra conditioner in my hair to make it extra soft. It could be listening intently to my brother talk about the important transitions in his life. Perhaps it’s letting someone do something nice for me that I usually insist on doing myself. It might be comforting a friend or family member in pain. By consciously opening ourselves to give and receive love, we are telling the universe that we are ready, willing and available for more—and it is amazing how many ways we discover we are already blessed by small acts of love that we take for granted!
