Okay, so I've switched the focus of my IM somewhat. I'm interspersing it with the new clearing technique I learned in the 15 Minute Miracle video. I'm also using that clearing technique throughout the day, with some interesting results.

F'rinstance, on Friday evening I had a headache, so I was lying in my bed in the dark, listening to my daughters bicker in the next room. Instead of going in there and intervening like I might normally have done, I focused on my own responsibility for creating that energy between them. I kept thinking of how much I love my daughters and how much I know they love each other, and I kept repeating that mantra to the Divine: I'm Sorry. Please Forgive Me. Thank You. I Love You. The bickering continued for a while, but seemed to lessen in intensity after a while, and it became obvious that the younger found something else to occupy her attention. After a few minutes of quiet (other than the video game the older was playing), I heard the younger ask the older, in a polite and quiet tone of voice "Would you please turn that down?" and the older said, in an equally polite and quiet tone of voice "sure," then did so - by a significant amount.

I was *so* pleased with both of them, that I immediately got myself up, went into the room with them and thanked them both for handling that situation so nicely.

Coincidence? Maybe. And maybe not... I'm definitely heartened by this, and encouraged to keep working on it!

Okay, wow. I just watched the 15-minute Miracle video on Joe Vitale's Attract Miracles Community, and it really resonated with me. I think this might be what I've been missing.

I, and I alone, am *completely* responsible for EVERYTHING in my life. I create my own reality, so if there's something in my reality that I dislike, or that bothers me, or that contributes to my unhappiness, it's simply and solely because I CREATED IT.

Wow.

The thought that this could (or, rather, does) extend to the people around me is, quite simply, mind-boggling. The fact that my children have no motivation, no organizational skills - that's all me. The fact that my husband is anti-social - that's all me. The fact that my boyfriend is an alcoholic who thinks he can control his drinking - that's all me.

It makes a great deal of sense, though, at the same time. It also helps me figure out how I can dissolve the internal, unconscious blocks I have to my success. Blocks that keep me from doing things I actually WANT to do, like:
1) Do my 7th Path daily
2) Do my IM daily
3) Exercise regularly
4) Live in a clean house
5) Have a successful business
6) Practice my cello regularly

When I can successfully release those blocks, I will find the motivation to do whatever it takes to make those things happen - EASILY and NATURALLY!

I'm Sorry. Please Forgive Me. Thank You. I Love You.

Wow
Well, I don't seem to be doing very well at setting aside the time to do this right. At least not yet. So how do I remedy that? This has, frankly, ALWAYS been a problem for me - being consistent with something that I want to do, that I know is good for me. I've been doing as much as possible at bedtime, but honestly, I've been so tired the past few nights, I've fallen asleep pretty quickly once my head hits the pillow!

It's still my Intention to have a minimum of an extra $5,000 from unexpected sources by the end of this experiment. And it feels *really* GOOD!!! :^D

I haven't been very good at setting aside 20 minutes a day. Instead, I'm doing my IM at bedtimee, while I fall asleep.

Way back when I first watched The Secret with my co-workers at Positive Changes Hypnosis, we all came out of the viewing and were talking about the kinds of things we wanted to visualize. Dave, the boss, said something about manifesting $1 million, and of course we were discussing how we needed to *feel* what it would be like to have something like that happen. I said something like "well, I don't know how to do that, I mean, I have NO idea what $1 million would feel like, I've never been anywhere even close to that..." and James, bless his lusty heart, spoke up and said "just think about something else amazing - you know, like the very first time you ever had a mind-blowing orgasm...!"

Well, that nailed it for me - of *course* I went to a really positive place THEN! But ever since then, I've had a much better idea about how to "Nevillize" a goal (in Dr. Joe Vitale's words). I've been trying to use that knowledge in this exercise. :^D

I think I've chosen my Intention for the Intentional Meditation. One of Joe's suggestions was "At the end of the 30-day experiment I want an extra $15,000 in the bank from unexpected sources." But it has to be believable, and right now I'm not sure I'm ready to believe in $15,000. Maybe a third of that, and once that works, I can reach for more...

So, here's my Intention: "At the end of the 30-day experiment I want a minimum of an extra $5,000 in the bank from unexpected sources."

According to the Free Will of all, for the Greater Good of all, and harming none along the way, So Mote It Be.

Day One

I've just read Joe Vitale's Intentional Meditation site, and it seems like a good idea. It syncs up with a lot of things I feel like I want and need to do in my life. I've ready his latest book, Attract Money Now, and while most of the steps seem easy to me, some of them are proving to be challenging. I know I have blocks to success, and I want to correct that! I have to make time for myself each and every day to follow through on this meditation idea. I deserve that.

So tonight I intend to figure out just what it is that I want to manifest in my life within the next 30 days. I'm leaning towards something with my hypnosis practice, although just how I'm going to make that happen while working a full time job is beyond me. I'm rather emotionally attached to the idea of a steady, decent income, not to mention the bonuses that I'm confident will come my way as more and more franchises are sold. So opening myself to the idea of being even MORE prosperous at my own business is going to be a challenge.

I hope to post here every day, but I know myself rather well, and I'm just not sure how I'm going to accomplish that. Sheer determination, I guess.
