Who Is It You Desire To Become?

July 11, 2014 by Cheryl Maloney

Fotolia_4656516_Subscription_LMost of us have little problem answering the question “what do you want in life”?

Some will say wealth, and some will say true love. Others will say health, a beautiful home, a nice car, or a successful career, or a family.

All are perfectly good answers and there is no reason why they cannot be achieved.

When I ask clients “Who Is It You Desire To Become” most have to take time to process the question. After a few moments, many say they are fine with whom they are, they just want a better life. They will then proceed to describe many of the above conditions, which they feel will produce this better life.

It usually starts with “ Well if I only …(fill in the blank) then I would be happy”. Then the description of the conditions would follow.

What is not being understood and accepted here is that conditions must follow conditioning. In other words, for you to acquire something in your life you must set the conditions within yourself first. It is only then that you will have the ability to create what you desire to become.

Possibly you have heard the example about attracting love. It is said, “ You must become the person you want to attract.” If I desire to attract a loving, affectionate, beautiful, funny, … (I have a long list) woman as my soul mate, then I must become this within myself. You will attract that which you believe yourself to be.

The same goes for all your desires in life. If you desire wealth, happiness, and health, then you must know yourself as such. By becoming what you desire you become a magnet.

I ask you now. Who Is It You Desire To Become? If you cannot give a description in perfect detail along with the feeling of already having it, then you are just treading water.

This is the first place I start when working with a new client. I don’t go much further until the client knows what he or she desires in their health, fitness, and wellness.

This statement is a declaration of what we together are going to achieve. From this statement we can then create a plan to move forward.

People are afraid to really let go and admit to what they desire, because they realize there will be some work to do on their part to achieve it. They are right of course, but what is so off-putting to some work if it will create the life you have always desired?

You are not meant to dream and sit on your hands all day in hope that it will just happen. That’s not how it’s done, not if you want to experience it in the physical world.

Interestingly, so many of us go to work for someone else and work our tails off, while thinking “I should be doing this for myself”. In this case you are working for someone else’s dream are you not?

We need to create the motivation within ourselves to become who we desire to be. Taking this action is going to be a bit uncomfortable for many, but so worth it.

I encourage you to take the time to find a quite space away from all distractions, and begin to express who you desire to become. Not what you want, those are just things. I want you to step out and ask yourself “Who do I really want to become? What would it feel like to be this person? What would my life be like?”

Write it all down in as much detail as possible. Describe the feelings that go along with this new you. Then I want you to refine the statement into a paragraph. Make it in the present tense as if you are living it right now.

When you’re done with this I want you to email me your “Statement of Gratitude” for your new life. In the subject line of the email write “Who I Desire To Become”.

I will choose the 5 best statements, and email you back with tips and directions for the next step.

Here’s a clue. Part of who you desire to be should include your health, fitness, or wellness.

I can’t wait to read your “Who I Desire To Become”.

I wish for you Vibrant Health.

Shifting Your Energy by Releasing the Old so the New Can Come In!

March 10, 2014 by Stacey Maxwell-Krockenberger

Fotolia_29717546_Subscription_Monthly_MSpring is the most auspicious season to shift your surrounding energy by releasing all that no longer serves you and allowing the new vibrant energy to flow freely within and around your space.  This is most effective when it’s achieved on all energetic levels of Being: emotionally, mentally, physically and environmentally.  It’s the releasing of your past and excess baggage while simultaneously sowing and nurturing your seeds of desire with specific goals and intentions for your present and future experiences.  This is you energetically co-creating your overall desired vision and living the life of your dreams with purpose and passion.

Many of us have a tendency to hold onto EVERYTHING to the point of creating both tangible and intangible forms of energetic blockages.  By doing this, we are vibrationally reflecting out to the Universe a sense of being overwhelmed, feeling stuck, no longer having control or keeping up. You are no longer appreciative of what you have or where you are, you experience feelings of boredom, addiction or depression, and energetically you begin obstructing the vibrational flow of ease for anything new to come in.

Raising your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy can be done by:

  • Taking a swim in the ocean or a salt water bath.  A great recipe to cleanse your aura and detoxify your body of toxins and impurities is by mixing 1 pound of Baking Soda and 1 pound of Epson Salt in equal parts and soaking for 15-20 minutes.  Be sure to drink plenty of water afterwards to rehydrate your body.
  • Walking barefoot in the grass or hugging a tree.  Incorporating plants and fresh-cut flowers throughout your space, especially those from your garden, offer the highest vibrational energy.
  • Juicing, eating fresh fruits and vegetables (whenever possible from your own geographical area) and drinking 6-8 oz glasses of water daily.
  • Meditating, yoga, stretching, exercising, walking, dancing, getting a full body massage and pampering yourself on a regular basis.
  • Implementing your creative expression through writing, singing, playing an instrument, painting, drawing, photography, gardening, sewing or other creative avenues.
  • Speaking only kindness to yourself and others.  Seeing yourself in the highest light.  Believing in yourself.  Offering forgiveness to yourself and others.  Loving yourself and being good to yourself on all levels of Being.
  • Expanding your inner-circle by connecting and collaborating with other like-minded and heart-centered people.

Raising the vibrational energy of your ENVIRONMENT (home, office and vehicles) can simply be achieved by:

  • Removing: If you don’t use it then consider selling it, donating it or giving it away.  Only keep the items you absolutely love.
  • Organizing: Organize each room and create functional spaces starting with your closets, drawers, cabinets and storage areas.
  • Cleansing: Your space from top to bottom.  Steam clean your carpets, drapery and soft furniture.  Put a fresh coat of paint on the walls.
  • Clearing: Your space by belling and smudging.  Incorporate the natural elements of water, fire, plants, fresh flowers and rocks.  Implement fung shui principles.
