AND supports your dreams, cherishes and appreciates you, never lays a hand on you, very belittles you, stays faithful to you and is honest with you. Because that is what you deserve. Lucky for me I have that relationship
September’s End of the Month Question: What song(s) would you like played at your funeral and why?
lean on me…just cuz i love tht song and i hope i was a friend that ppl could always count on… Still alive by portal and Across the universe, beatles. Still Alive- Because the lyrics mean i’m never dead. i’m never going to leave peoples sides. plus its humorous…like me. As for Across the Universe?- I plan to travel that big momma in the afterlife. and i will be on a magic boat on a cosmic river with nebula trees, and black wholle dotted skiieeess. Somebody calls me and i’ll answer quite slowly. The Jesus with Collidoscope eyes! Seriously. Those songs will let people know i’m ok. that they dont have to mourne for me because i will be out there somewhere doing something someone has never done before. I would like “Murder My Heart” by Michael Bolton feat Lady Gaga to be played at my funeral. As for Why, words are speaking for themselves. So far i like that song by the band Perry if i die young. Its pretty awesome and kinda catchy lol =) go rest high by Vince Gill, because it is a beautiful song.
May the Force Be With You
Use the Power of Your Imagination to Create What You Want In Your Life
We all have visions right? Visions of what we want to do with our lives, where we want to go, who we want to be, where we want to be , who we want to be with and so on. But we tend to lose focus. A vision board is a great tool to keep that focus daily. It can give you the opportunity to take the steps in creating the life you always dreamed of. When you focus on your hopes and dreams, they come true and grow with every ounce of effort you put towards it.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, how can looking at a peice of paper make things come true? Well it can’t exactly. First you have to understand the law of attraction. We attract the ensence of whatever we focus on. So in Star Wars when they say, may the force be with you, it wasn’t exactly fictional. Einstein proved that everything in our uniserse has energy, that includes us humans. The things we believe and think send out an electric vibration that attracts like energy. Everything we taste, smell, hear, see and touch is a vibrational interetor of insible energy. So if you think negative about yourself and the world around you for example, then you’ll attract negative people and jobs and relationships and so on. You have to realize that you are in control. So choose better feelings and thoughts and use the vision board as a tool for you vibrational intoetors.
Let’s get started, what is your vision? Think of it as your: Treasure Map/Visual Explorer/Creativity Collage/Goal Board/Goal Map or whatever you want to call it. Think of the cut out pictures/ arranging of them on your poster board as putting your own personal wish lists into a visual manifesting tool to help you manifest our dreams. Here are some ideas to get started.
The general elements that a well-designed vision board should include are:
Visual.
Your subconscious mind works in pictures and images, so make your vision board as visual as possible with as many pictures as you can. You can supplement your pictures with words and phrases to increase the emotional response you get from it.
Emotional.
Each picture on your vision board should evoke a positive emotional response from you. The mere sight of your vision board should make you happy and fuel your passion to achieve it every time you look at it.
Strategically-placed.
Your vision board should be strategically placed in a location that gives you maximum exposure to it. You need to constantly bath your subconscious mind with it’s energy in order to manifest your desires quicker than you hope.
Personal.
Negative feelings, self-doubt, and criticism can damage the delicate energy that your vision board emits. If you fear criticism or justification of your vision board from others, then place it in a private location so it can only be seen by yourself.
Three Types of Vision Boards:
1 - The “I Know Exactly What I Want” Vision Board
Do this vision board if:
- You’re very clear about your desires.
- You want to change your environment or surroundings.
- There is a specific thing you want to manifest in your life. (i.e. a new home, or starting a business.)
How to create this vision board:
With your clear desire in mind, set out looking for the exact pictures which portray your vision. If you want a house by the water, then get out the Dwell magazine and start there. If you want to start your own business, find images that capture that idea for you. If you want to learn guitar, then find that picture. I remember at the last retreat, one woman yelled out, “If anyone finds a picture of a little girl with red hair who looks happy, give it to me!” And someone else yelled out, “I’m looking for a Cadillac!” Pretty soon, a lively trading session began. Following the five steps above, create your vision board out of these images.
2 – The “Opening and Allowing” Vision Board
Do this vision board if:
- You’re not sure what exactly you want
- You’ve been in a period of depression or grief
- You have a vision of what you want, but are uncertain about it in some way.
- You know you want change but don’t know how it’s possible.
How to create this vision board:
Go through each magazine. Tear out images that delight you. Don’t ask why. Just keep going through the magazines. If it’s a picture of a teddy bear that makes you smile, then pull it out. If it’s a cottage in a misty countryside, then rip it out. Just have fun and be open to whatever calls to you. Then, as you go through Step 2 above, hold that same openness, but ask yourself what this picture might mean. What is it telling you about you? Does it mean you need to take more naps? Does it mean you want to get a dog, or stop hanging out with a particular person who drains you? Most likely you’ll know the answer. If you don’t, but you still love the image, then put it on your vision board anyway. It will have an answer for you soon enough. Some women at my retreats had NO idea what their board was about, and it wasn’t until two months later that they understood. The Opening and Allowing Vision Board can be a powerful guide for you. I like it better than the first model because sometimes our egos think they know what we want, and lots of times those desires aren’t in alignment with who we really are. This goes deeper than just getting what you want. It can speak to you and teach you a little bit about yourself and your passion.
3 – The “Theme” Vision Board
Do this vision board if:
- It’s your birthday or New Years Eve or some significant event that starts a new cycle.
- If you are working with one particular area of your life. For instance, Work & Career.
How to create this vision board:
The only difference between this vision board and the others is that this one has clear parameters and intent. Before you begin the vision board, take a moment to hold the intent and the theme in mind. When you choose pictures, they will be in alignment with the theme. You can do the Theme Vision Board on smaller pages, like a page in your journal.
Supplies Needed
•Foam core board (recommended) or poster board
•A large assortment of magazines. You want to make sure that these are in color. You can go to various businesses or hospitals to ask for their old issues.
•Glue or tape
•Scissors
•(Optional) Color inkjet or laser printer
•(Optional) Internet access
The Five Steps of Creating a Vision Board:
Step 1: Go through your magazines and tear the images from them. No gluing yet! Just let yourself have lots of fun looking through magazines and pulling out pictures or words or headlines that strike your fancy. Have fun with it. Make a big pile of images and phrases and words.
Step 2: Go through the images and begin to lay your favorites on the board. Eliminate any images that no longer feel right. This step is where your intuition comes in. As you lay the pictures on the board, you’ll get a sense how the board should be laid out. For instance, you might assign a theme to each corner of the board. Health, Job, Spirituality, Relationships, for instance. Or it may just be that the images want to go all over the place. Or you might want to fold the board into a book that tells a story. At my retreats, I’ve seen women come up with wildly creative ways to present a vision board.
Step 3: Glue everything onto the board. Add writing if you want. You can paint on it, or write words with markers.
Step 4: (optional, but powerful) Leave space in the very center of the vision board for a fantastic photo of yourself where you look radiant and happy. Paste yourself in the center of your board.
Step 5: Hang your vision board in a place where you will see it often.
