“As I began my work in the House of Empowerment, I began to realize just how often I had not empowered myself – out of fear – most likely hear of how powerful I might be.  Our culture does not support us in empowering ourselves….in fact, as I sat and thought about it, our culture encourages us to give our power to others. 

No wonder so much of what I had hoped to accomplish in my life had not been accomplished.  I had not empowered myself – and I was the only one that could empower me.

I began to understand even more why I was unable to build a plan for my new reality.  I had to empower  myself to build that plan….I had to empower myself to take action on that plan…I had to empower myself to complete the plan.

This made so much sense.  A felt calm and capable.  A new feeling in regards to this life change.”
 

“In the House of Empowerment, our workshop guide told us we were going to call forth the best from everyone involved in our project, including ourselves.  In this House of Empowerment we were going to understand our relationship with being leaders – of a project, a vision, our own lives; and, that in understanding this, we would challenge ourselves to grow into this leadership position as each of us had a project focused on our own lives and livelihoods.

We began by learning exactly what it meant to empower ourselves and our projects/visions.  How was I going to call forth the power from within myself and assist me in being all that I was capable of being?  This seemed beyond my mind to accept and integrate. 

No matter, I was not going to give up now!”

“I connected with my inner guidance to find out how the potential of this change wanted to unfold in my life.  We in the workshop were assured that we were still the stewards of our project and visions and as such, we had a great deal to say about what did manifest.  This was simply an approach to look beyond our expectation to see the potential of our projects from a different viewpoint….the viewpoint of Spirit.

And Spirit showed me many different potentials, many different outcome iterations for my consideration.  And, working through the process, I decided which of the potential outcomes I was most comfortable and aligned.  What a wonderful process.  I was become more and more clear on what this future of mine might look like.  So, I took a deep breath (the first one for some time) and proceeded to follow our workshop guide into the next house.”

“Moving on around The Manifestation Wheel, we came to the House of Energy.  This house of the wheel is all about how to generate passion and energy for our projects and visions. 

We talked about how to determine where our energy was strong and where it was lacking.  We used some simple examples to really feel the strength of our energy around everyday events and issues.  I was impressed that we were not all the same – that some of us had different responses than the rest.  How interesting and informative.

And we began to learn about the energetic potential of each of our projects.  I had never thought that my project might have an energy potential all its own; I had always assumed that I would have to supply all of the energy.  This insight gave me some confidence that I just might have some help in this manifestation process.”

“As I left the workshop that first evening, I began to wonder what my intention really was in regards to this life change I was desiring to create. What did I really believe was possible?  How far out on a ledge was I willing to go to make this change occur? What was I willing to give up and when to allow this change to be co-created between myself and my higher power – my spirit guidance? 

These and many other questions assailed me as I left that first evening.  I began to truly understand why I had not been able to get anywhere with my action plan to create the change I wanted.  I had no idea of what I really wanted to create. 

I knew what I did not want and that was at least a starting point.  I went to sleep that evening with thoughts of what my choice of intentions and what my level of commitment was to that choice of intention or change.

Well, no one ever said it would be easy and at least I had a place to begin.”

“I purchased the book and began to read it.  I understood after reading a couple of chapters why this process we call manifesting was so difficult.  The more I read, the more I understood why is might just become easier with the support of Spirit and Universal Consciousness. 

I was particularly impressed by the possibility of merging my spiritual self with my earth based or ego self to co-create incredible results.  And, I also understood why simply reading the book and trying to make my way through it might not be the best use of my time and talents.  So, following the advise of my Past Life Regression Therapist and Life Coach, I registered for a Workshop in Manifesting and prepared to attend.”

“Ah, how easy it is to become lost in the intriguing and delightful and fall prey to not accomplishing that which really makes the difference!

I know I had read that somewhere and simply did not know where – and it did not matter.  I had simply so enjoyed spending time with the stone energy book that totally lost track of the action plan intended to create the reality I had seen in my Past Life Regression. 

The problem was that, although I had the spread sheet started and I had some major categories identified, I really did not know where to begin.  So, once again I turned to my Past Life Regression Therapist/Life Coach to ask her to (once again) refocus me on the project at hand.

I was amazed when she told me that what I was suffering from (not knowing how to create this new reality) was not dissimilar from the ailment that the many individuals were confronting.  And, that the one similarity she had ascertained the many individuals had in common was that they were each being faced with some major change in their life.

She recommended I purchase a book and sign up for a workshop that was being held nearby.  The book was The Manifestation Wheel by Alan Seale and the workshop was in alignment with the book and intended to support individuals and groups in manifesting what they desired in life.”

“Something told me there was one more stone that would benefit me greatly.  One more stone,  in combination with the other five stones, would create a talisman of protection and proper energy.  So I began the search for the last stone for my talisman.

And search I did – as searching for one more stone was much more fun than completing my action plan.  One more stone – was it Serpentine, the stone of self control?;  Was it Tigers Eye, the stone of resourcefulness?; Or, perhaps it was Apatite, the stone of motivation?  Which stone was it?

After reading about many stones and knowing they were not the final stone for my talisman, I stumbled upon the stone called Tourmaline.  Tourmaline, the stone of inspiration, was exactly what I needed for finish my talisman.  Tourmaline, through its subtle energies, was purported to encourage growth and support the understanding of self and others. The book indicated that Tourmaline also aids in aligning all parts of self and of a plan to achieve the highest potential outcome.  Tourmaline it was!

Finally, all the stones of my talisman had been identified.  Somehow, I felt like I could move forward with more confidence and self-assurance.  What a great feeling.”

“With all that I had to do on “The Plan”, why, oh why, did I have to keep coming back to this book on stones and stone energies?  Why was I not satisfied with the four wonderful stones I had discovered.  But no, the book kept drawing me back.  And now I found myself reading the information on a stone known as Moonstone.

Moonstone – the stone of New Beginnings.  What was going to be more important in my life than the new beginnings I was about to embark upon?  And, let’s see, how did Moonstone’s subtle energy support new beginnings?  The book indicated that the subtle energies of Moonstone are connected with the moon and intuition; that the subtle energies smooth emotional stress; and finally that they assists the wearer to be open to serendipity and synchronicity.  How perfect .  And I loved all of the colors of Moonstone  - from pach, to grey, to white, to what was described as “gentle rainbow”.  How beautiful.

Was I going to end up with all of the stones the author described in this book in my talisman?”

“I read and re-read the documentation.  I called and asked for a free consultation.  I went to my classes and soaked in as much as I could.  All the while, keeping the job and life I had been living moving along.  This was not a short term plan I was designing and I did not what to find myself in a squeeze between my current life and my future life.  By day, I was a normal employee – by night, I was an entrepreneur want-to-be.  This could become most confusing.

The hardest thing I had to contend with, even when I included the need to learn to shift gears from one life to the other very quickly and effectively, was the fact that I had very few people I could talk to about this.  My friends at work were more dedicated to their work than to me – to talk to them would have put me at risk.  My other friends thought I was crazy and risking what appeared to be a perfectly good life for something I did not even know existed.

But I did know it existed!  More so, I knew it was better.  Why would they not understand? 

Why did it feel like I was living my Past Life Regression again, this time in real life? ”
