Tune In #27: Planting Seeds

You’re planting seeds every day – through your thoughts, feelings, actions, and vision. Your inner and outer landscapes are a result of the seeds you planted in your past.

What kind of growth would you like to see in your future? What seeds do you need to plant right now?

Let your intuition guide you. Tune in!

Pick the photo that attracts you the most and scroll down to start planting seeds that are right for you. 

Tune In 27 - Planting Seeds

#1 – Serenity

"Serenity" from the Treedom Collection

Are you able to stay calm, peaceful, and untroubled in the midst of chaos?

Or are you thrown off kilter by changes in plans, unexpected results, world news, and unhappy people?

Wouldn’t you like to be the eye of the storm instead of jumping right into the drama, adding more energy to it?

Serenity is something you can nurture within yourself so you can act instead of react to life.

The more deeply rooted you are in your own serenity, the stronger a source of peace you’ll be for those around you. They’ll gravitate to you. Your very presence will calm them down. What a gift!

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re asked to check in on your serenity levels. Then take inspired action to become more peace-full.

  • Do what you need this week to nourish your spirit: rest, breathe deeply, meditate, and de-stress in healthy ways.
  • Simplify your life – be it your space or your schedule. With more room to breathe, you’ll breathe easier and be more loving (see this post).
  • Be patient with yourself. It takes time for the seeds of serenity to germinate and grow. Keep practicing with self-love.

So what do you need to be more at peace with everyone and everything?  Schedule it right away. You’re worth it!

#2 – Generosity

"Generosity" from the Treedom Collection

According to the Law of Compensation, the more you give, the more you get.

The opposite is also true. The less you give, the less you get.

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re asked to reflect on both your level and quality of contribution.

Take note. True generosity comes from planting healthy seeds. Their energy is pure.

So keep an eye on your motives. You don’t want to be planting tainted seeds. Giving just to get doesn’t work.

  • Are you being generous or manipulative? Do you help others just so they can owe you a favour? Do you expect or demand reciprocity though guilt?
  • Are you a gift-giver just to be liked?
  • Do you give advice just to increase your sense of self-importance?
  • Do you volunteer because it’ll look good on your resume or gain you recognition?
  • Do you donate out of a sense of obligation?

There’s a difference between giving to get and receiving through giving.

Giving feels great when it’s aligned with your beliefs and values. It increases your happiness, opens your heart, supports cooperation, promotes gratitude, inspires more giving, and is good for your health. That’s part of the abundance the Universe returns for your generosity.

So back to the question: How can you be more generous? Is this a question of quantity, quality, or both for you?

Let your generosity be inspired, not forced. The quality of energy you put into your gifts will affect the difference they make in the world.

#3 – Stillness

"Stillness" from the Treedom Collection

Be still.

Quieten your mind and your heart to reconnect to your essence.

This is easier said then done.

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re invited to carve out time in your busy schedule to connect to Source through stillness.

Start by setting your intention. Expressing it through rituals can help: prayer, smudging, lighting a candle, pouring a hot bath, sitting in a dedicated spot, etc.

Then meditate or focus your attention in a way that calls you.

You might:

  • sit in silence with your eyes closed to slowly scan your body from head to toe,
  • focus on your breath,
  • listen to a guided meditation,
  • repeat a high-vibration phrase or Sanskrit mantra,
  • contemplate the wind in the trees and the birds in the sky, etc.

Simply observe where your mind goes without judgment and gently redirect it back to your point of focus.

And breathe deeply so that Life Force fills your lungs and spreads throughout your body. Your breath is your connection to Spirit. It’ll help you decrease the static on the line between you and your team of Divine Helpers for clearer communication.

Whatever stillness practice you use, know that you’re planting seeds of awareness, connection, and wellness in your body, mind, and spirit.

#4 – Witness

"Witness" from the Treedom Collection

Don’t you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you know that someone’s truly seen and heard you?

They’ve shared in your sorrows and joys by simply being there – open and accepting.

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re invited to become more of a witness in the lives of others. Really listen. Share in their experience.

Be fully present, whether you bump into a friend at the store for 2 minutes, share a meal with your family, or meet someone new at a networking event.

Be careful not to jump right in with your story or try to fix the situation with your advice.

Try not to compare yourself or your situation to theirs. Gently bring your focus back to them. Witness their truth of the moment.

See and accept them for who and how they are right now. Acknowledge the beauty of their perfection in their imperfection.

Life isn’t meant to be lived alone. Being human is a shared experience. By being a witness to the ups and downs of those who entrust you with their moments and stories, you connect the Spirit in you to the Spirit in them. You’re planting the seeds of love.

Go ahead. Practice truly seeing and listening to the people you meet today. Be the witness they deserve!

#1 – Vision

"Vision" from the Connection Collection

It’s OK to have your head in the clouds for short periods of time every day. Actually, it’s fantastic!

In order to connect up with the life you want, you need to imagine what that life looks like, feels like, is like.

Visionaries blend wisdom and imagination to create new possibilities. Inventors first give birth to innovation in their minds.

So go ahead. Fill your head with what might seem to others as unrealistic ideas. Imagine already being and having what it is you want. Schedule visionary breaks and invite the angels to play with you.

Have fun this week exercising creative daydreaming in line-ups, on your daily bus ride, while brushing your teeth, or right after waking up.

Explore the manifestation powers of your mind.

But don’t forget to come back into the here and now with those feelings and visions. Let their essence inspire creativity and action.

P.S. This image was digitally created using a photograph of a horse and the sky above it.

#2 – Impact

"Impact" from the Connection Collection

You’ve heard the slogan “Just Do It!”, right?

Well, it’s time.

You’ve been in your head long enough.

Stretch your comfort zones and grow through action.

Dive into that project that’s been calling you.

Go to that class to learn what you need.

Tackle that problem head-on.

Join that club to meet like-minded people.

Ask that person out for lunch.

Call that potential client or collaborator.

Make an impact in your life and in the world around you this week by moving ahead in the areas that both excite and scare you.

Take action!

P.S. Sitting in a zodiac and watching this humpback whale coming straight at us was exhilarating. It’s boldness and curiosity had a great impact on me.

#3 – Mystery

"Mystery" from the Connection Collection

Your first job as a co-creator with the Universe is to have a clear vision of what it is you’d like to live, have, create, etc.

Your next job is to let go of how that will manifest. Don’t try to force things to happen your way.

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re being reminded to let go of control. Have faith, trust, believe! Embrace the mystery. Get comfortable with the unknown. Let your plan evolve through inspiration.

Focus on what’s working and keep your energy aligned with the end result to keep attracting it to you. Don’t put the energetic brakes on by focusing on what you don’t have or the fact things aren’t working as you’d planned.

If you’re so bound on things manifesting in a particular way, you may miss the magical opportunities right in front of you.

For example, if it’s more money you need for a project, you may be so fixated on having your loan approved that you didn’t pay attention to a lucrative short-term contract proposal or an acquaintance’s offer to volunteer, which would reduce the costs of the project. Let your angels get creative and be ready to receive.

Stay excited about your vision and focus on the beauty of the co-creative process. Know your “what”, but leave the “how” up to the Universe.

Then keep your eyes, ears, and heart open. You’ll be inspired to take the necessary actions to achieve your goals and recognize alternative solutions to your challenges.

#4 – Trinity

"Trinity" from the Connection Collection

What does the word “trinity” bring to heart for you?

Is it:

  • Father, Son, Holy Ghost
  • Mother, Father, Child
  • Past, Present, Future
  • Body, Mind, Spirit
  • Creation, Preservation, Destruction
  • Thought, Feeling, Emotion
  • Maiden,Mother, Crone
  • Power, Wisdom, Love
  • other?

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re asked to reflect on how to best connect up to the three prongs of the trinity to empower your life.

Do you have an equally strong relationship with all three? Have you neglected any?

Are you stuck in one phases resisting the natural progression to the next?

Take some time to ponder why you chose this image and what your soul is calling you to be and do in response.

#1 – Unconditional

"Unconditional" from the Blossoming Collection

“Love sees the thorns but cherishes the rose anyway.”
― Jeffrey Fry

To love someone unconditionally is to see and accept that person for who he or she truly is.

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re invited to contemplate all your relationships.

Do the people in your life feel comfortable showing their true colours to you? Or do they wear masks because the price of being themselves in your presence is too high?

You can’t change how they choose to be. But you can certainly cultivate a more accepting and loving environment for them to grow in.

To really love, you first need to truly see. That means it’s important to look beyond the masks and mud to reconnect to the truth.

One way to encourage others to be who they truly are is to show yourself as you truly are. Show both your flowers and your thorns. Be honest. Be vulnerable. Be quirky. Be brilliant.

By seeing, accepting, and loving yourself for who you truly are, you’re opening the garden gate to others. They may feel freer to blossom in your light. Some won’t like it, but that’s their choice.

Living your life as someone else defeats the purpose of being alive. So be your Self and allow others to do the same.

As they reveal their essence to you, check in with your heart to see if you’re fully appreciating them, thorns and all.

Are you open to their differences? Can you empathize or sympathize with their growing pains? Can you celebrate their buds and their blossoms?

May you grow in both your giving and receiving of unconditional love.

#2 – Allowing

"Allowing" from the Blossoming Collection

Doesn’t it feel great to give?

Do you like to give gifts, advice, donations, affection, time, or help?

Do you enjoy organizing parties or preparing meals for friends and family?

For someone to express their joy of giving, there needs to be someone whose equally happy to receive.

If that person, however, is so focused on what they don’t have, they close themselves off from you. They won’t even see your gift, appreciate your love, or hear the invitation.

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re being asked to explore the ways you can allow the Universe’s abundance into your life. How can you become a better receiver?

Do you graciously receive gifts and compliments? Are you open to asking for and receiving help?

Can you let go of control for even better solutions to present themselves?

Are you allowing the flow of energy into your life – be it love, money, inspiration, well-being, experiences, etc.?

Allowing is an art. It’s at the core of the Law of Attraction.

Get in touch with your heart’s desires in any area of your life. Appreciate what you already have and imagine the feeling of having more of it.

Like attracts like. So if you’re broadcasting to the Universe your appreciation for the money or love you already have, you’ll attract even more to you.

Allowing means not resisting how the energy of your thoughts and feelings work.

If your thoughts turn to lack, for example, it’s like closing yourself off from the flow of abundance. It’ll pass you by.

Get the flow moving. Be open. Ask and you shall receive. The Universe loves to give.

Think, act, and feel as though you’re abundant right now. In truth, you are! Once you allow for that truth to sink in, you’ll become a much better receiver to gifts of the Universe.

#3 – Geisha

"Geisha" from the Blossoming Collection

Sometimes misunderstood, the Japanese Geisha is a professional entertainer, not a prostitute.

She’s a highly cultured woman trained in the arts of dance, music, conversation, and yes, a little flirtation.

In traditional Japanese culture, the wife’s role was to be modest and responsible. The Geisha’s role was to be skilled, entertaining and seemingly carefree.

If you’ve picked this card, you’re being asked to contemplate the balance of these qualities within yourself and your relationship.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a man, woman, single, or married.

Are you blooming true or hiding parts of your authentic beauty? Have you become too serious and blasé about life?

If you’re in a committed relationship, are you both a friend and a lover? Or have you become more of a mother / father to your partner?

How can you be more entertaining with and for each other? What skills would you like to bring into your relationship? Dancing, communication, cooking, Kamasutra positions?

If you’re single, are you so focused on your work that you’ve stifled your need for culture?

What skills would you like to add to your life? Painting, music, dancing, etc.? You don’t need someone else to get dressed up for or go out with – get glamourous for the fun of it!

So go ahead! Bring your Geisha side out, so you can form, nurture and grow your relationship to Self and others!

#4 – Sun-Kissed

"Sun-Kissed" from the Blossoming Collection

Are you bored or overworked?

It’s time to have fun outdoors!

If you’ve picked this photo, your soul is calling you to shake things up a little.

What can you do outside to raise your vibration? What brings you joy!

It’s never a waste of time to boost your batteries.

Get out in the sunshine and bask in the wonder of being human.

Feel the sun on your skin and the breeze in your hair! Stop and smell the flowers! Make snow angels! Play!

Beware of energy-sapping escapism. This isn’t about losing yourself. It’s about reconnecting to your Self and nature in fulfilling ways.

This could be on your own or with friends. Perhaps it’s travel, photography, nature contemplation, or skiing. Whatever it is, make time for it and do it soon.

You’re worth it!

#1 -Perception

"Perception" from the Treedom Collection

How you understand or interpret what’s happening in front of you will depend on your perception.

How do you see, hear, or feel your environment?

Are you focusing on the light or the shadows? Do you have a filter of love or fear?

You may have learned a fearful approach from your parents or circumstances. But habits can change. It’s your choice.

As you walk through your day, simply become aware of your default choice.

  • How do you act or react when you see a homeless person?
  • How do you feel when the phone rings?
  • Where do your thoughts go when you’re dealing with money?
  • What goes on inside you when someone gives you a compliment?
  • Do you feel jealous or happy for those spreading good news on social media?
  • How do you act or react to the fluctuations in your business?
  • etc.

Every moment of your waking day is a window into the world you’re creating for yourself through your perceptions.

Don’t beat yourself up for your limiting beliefs and patterns. They’re a gift and a teacher.

The more you understand what love and fear feel like in your body, the better equipped you’ll be to choose love.

If you’re constantly checking in with your observer Self as you act and react to life, you’ll start redirecting your gaze and your ways.

So write yourself some post-it notes or activate a chime on your phone every 15 minutes as a reminder to check-in. In that moment, are you in love with life or in fear of it? Is it time to switch filters?

Your Truth is love. May you find your way back to it over and over again. Namaste.

#2 – Freedom

"Freedom" from the Treedom Collection

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Viktor Frankl – Holocaust Survivor & Psychoanalyst

Viktor Frankl discovered the difference between liberty and freedom during the war. His book “Man’s Search for Meaning” is a powerful testimony to it.

Liberty is the freedom granted to you from society or some other external control. Prisoners, for example, have limited liberty.

Freedom, on the other hand, is the power to act or think in your chosen way no matter your external circumstances. It’s the choice you make in that space between stimulus and response.

Viktor Frankl trained himself to exercise his freedom until it grew beyond the limits of liberty. He practiced mental, emotional and moral disciplines through memory and imagination. In the end, he had more freedom than his Nazi captors.

So how does this relate to you?

Do you have limited liberty in your life right now because of your circumstances? Are you:

  • a busy parent
  • a caregiver to your elderly relative
  • working in a job with excessively high demands
  • limited financially,
  • physically disabled or ill?

You get the picture. Are you feeling ‘imprisoned’ by anything in your life?

If you’ve picked this photo, there’s an invitation here for you to grow through your imagination. Visualize what it is you want. Feel it. Dance in your mind even if you’re bedridden. Close your eyes for 5 minutes during your busy work day and walk on a tropical beach with the sand and salt water between your toes.

Be happy. Be free.

Exercise your power of freedom to choose how you’ll act, think, or feel in your circumstances. Make life-enhancing choices in that space between stimulus and response.

Ask your angels for support. They’re always there to help, but you need to ask. That’s also part of free will.

#3 – As Above So Below

"As Above So Below" from the Treedom Collection

According to the Law of Correspondence, the world as you see and experience it emanates from your thoughts and feelings. The more you nurture and cultivate your inner world, the more your outer world will match your true essence.

As above, so below, as within, so without…”  Hermes Trismegistus

Your current reality has sprouted from your mind.

How do you feel when you read that? Is there resistance?

Where in your life can you acknowledge this?

In which areas is this harder to accept?

Moment by moment, you can choose light or darkness – love or fear.

Your mind is your gateway to transformation! Isn’t that wonderful?! You don’t have to go looking for it – you already have all you need to change either your life or how you perceive it.

Take this moment, for example. Does reading this make you want to beat yourself up for your failure to create the world you truly want? Are you experiencing any negative feelings about yourself, the text, or me? Or are you reading this with hope and empowerment, grateful for the reminder that you can create a new reality?

Just like with our friends the trees, your full potential in this world already lies within you. By tapping into your true essence and nurturing your growth, you can evolve as you were meant to do / be.

With every new day, you’re given another opportunity to re-create a world more aligned with your Truth. What can you do or how can you be today to cultivate the ground in which your future grows?

#4 – Stand By Me

"Stand by Me" from the Treedom Collection

You’re not alone. You’re never alone.

You’re constantly floating in a sea of unconditional love – supported and carried upon its all-seeing, all-accepting waves.

If you’re not feeling it though, your imagination can help.

You’ve heard of fake it til you make it? So go ahead. Pretend. It’ll help you let go of the real illusion – your disconnection from Source.

See yourself standing in a beam of light. Imagine that you’re being showered by the Creator’s pure love. See His messengers, the angels and archangels, standing all around you. They are! Have a group hug if you like that idea. Stay in that vision for as long as it takes to melt your resistance.  Ask them to help you let go of all that no longer serves you in body, mind, or spirit.

Take a walk in nature and imagine that every tree is a source of eternal wisdom. Touch or hug one and pretend that it’s infusing you with both grounding and connecting energy. It is! Let Mother Earth nourish you. Connect with her through your bare skin and imagine her sucking out of you all negativity, tiredness, concerns, etc. She is!

Now pretend that your family, friends, colleagues, and strangers are a reflection of Source here on Earth.  They are! Imagine that God lives within them as He/She does in you. Let the Spirit in you honour the Spirit in them in the way you talk, listen, interact, and treat them.

You’re never alone. You may feel lonely at times, but that’s because you’re feeling disconnected from the truth. Reality is that you’re always in the presence of pure unconditional love. Simply use your imagination to melt away any resistance to it. Let it in. It’s already yours.

#1 – Reflection

"Reflection" from the Connection Collection

Things are looking up!

You’ve been busy doing the groundwork and your magic is shining all around you.

Can you see it?

Stop the busy-ness for a few minutes and contemplate how your radiance is lighting up your inner and outer space. Where can you see the reflections of both your being and doing?

As an instrument of God’s love (or whatever term you’re comfortable with), you’re helping spread the Light (yours as a reflection of the Creator’s).

Bask in the luminosity of your efforts and what they’ve inspired in others.

As you witness the effects of your own Light, you fuel your flame and spark new ideas of how to brighten your days and those of others.

Your stepping stone rests in your recognizing your own value. If you don’t value yourself, no one else will. To make a difference in the world, you need to own your power and its Source, whatever you call it.

You’re here to illuminate. You’re already doing it. Acknowledge your role as a microcosm of the divine and don’t be afraid to shine! We need it. We love it! We’re grateful for it!

#2 – Remembering

"Remembering" from the Connection Collection

What task, project, or goal do you need help with?

If you’ve picked this photo, your stepping stone lies in the recesses of your mind.

Trust that you have what you need. You just have to remember what that is and dig it out of your tool box to put it to good use.

Sometimes, we busy ourselves with yet another course, book, or more research. Is that really necessary?

You already know the person you need to contact to help you with your project. You already have the resources or skills necessary to achieve your goals.

For example, if you’re looking to discover your purpose in life, look to your past to see what brought you the greatest joy growing up.

If you’re looking to make good investments, reconnect with a blogger you used to follow or seek the advice of an expert you once heard about in your social or professional circles.

If you’re having issues in your relationship with your dog, look at the book that’s already on your shelf, connect with that behavioural therapist whose card is in your desk,  or re-watch a TV show that matched your philosophy.

Your memory is like a filing cabinet filled with valuable information and resources.

But don’t waste time digging in too deep. Ask your guardian angel for help remembering. Spend a few moments staying open to the information being pulled out for you. If it doesn’t come up right away, go on to other tasks and it’ll likely pop out on its own or in a dream.

#3 – Treasures

"Treasures" from the Connection Collection

You are so abundant!

By focusing on what you already have, you’re opening yourself to the energy flow of even greater abundance.

Your stepping stone to true happiness lies in your gratefulness for the treasures in your life.

Take out a piece of paper and pen and start listing your answers to these questions.

  • What do you already appreciate in your physical environment or location?
  • Whose loving presence helps you connect to the love inside you?
  • What activities bring you the most satisfaction and fun?
  • What aspects of your business or career are the most fulfilling?
  • What has already nourished you on your path of personal or spiritual growth?
  • How are you healthy and well?
  • How have your finances already served you?
  • How are your challenges a gift?

Where attention goes, energy flows.

If you focus your attention on your own treasure chest, it’ll magically seem fuller and keep on filling.

Enjoy the process!

#4 – Timeless

"Timeless" from the Connection Collection

“True imagination is not fanciful daydreaming; it is fire from heaven.” Ernest Holmes

Were you slapped on the wrist for daydreaming in school? Forgive your teacher for not recognizing the very important work you may have been doing. It’s possible that you were laying the foundation stone to a great invention, creative project, or solution to a problem.

It’s too bad that some of our educational and social systems take away people’s power by discouraging imagination. Your stepping stone is in reclaiming this gift, your key to freedom.

Do you give yourself the time and space to play with your imagination?

It’s your key to creativity and a window into infinite inner and outer worlds. It’s never a waste of time. As one of the 3 levels of Higher Knowledge, it’s the gateway to inspiration and intuition.

#1 – Vibrations

"Vibration" from the Treedom Collection

Absolutely everything is pure energy vibrating at different frequencies: people, plants, objects, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and even consciousness!

These aren’t only spiritual concepts, but quantum physics ones as well.

As a spiritual being here on earth to have a human experience, you’re bound to vibrate at various frequencies during your life, your chapters, your days and even your minutes.

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re asked to pay attention to how well you’re doing in your role as a vibration manager. Are you working the Law of Vibration to your advantage?

Your circumstances will help you figure that out. What you’re living now is the result of your past frequencies. Your future will be the result of your current ones.

By vibrating at a certain frequency, through the power of your emotions, you attract what is also vibrating at that same frequency. If you want better experiences, you need to send out better vibes.

Doing what you love, what inspires love, and brings you joy will raise your vibration. What comes to heart when you read this?  Add more of it to your life to open up brighter avenues.

Start your day consciously programming your vibration. Abraham (channeled by Esther Hicks) describes sleep as a reset button. That’s why it’s so important to spend the first minutes upon waking on the higher frequency vibrations instead of instantly checking emails or listening to the news.

Abraham also explains that you have 17 seconds after a negative thought to get off that vibration frequency before it sticks. So stay conscious of your thoughts and feelings during the day. If you feel yourself spiralling downwards, do something quick to change your frequency. Look at your baby’s photo, put on your favourite song, hug a tree, or tell yourself “cancel” and change your thoughts.

Your angels are your vibrational bridge to the pure loving essence of Source.  Ask them for help. They’ll always support your efforts to live at a higher vibration.

#2 – Grace

"Grace" from the Treedom Collection

Success in all areas of your life is often the result of hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, and sacrifice. This is true.

It’s also true that success is the result of loving what you do or what you’re learning to do.

If you’ve picked this photo, you already know this.

Here, you’re invited to remember that success also includes knowing when to let go, take breaks, and care for yourself.

You can’t do this if you’re operating from a strictly left-brain action-oriented approach. You need to reconnect to your intuitive right brain to make sure the energy you’re investing is going in the right direction.

Sure, there are times when you need to push yourself hard. But there are also times when you need to recharge your batteries in nourishing ways. Burn out won’t serve you or your projects.

Are you determined to reach your goals through blood, sweat, and tears? Or can you invite more ease and grace into your process? It’s time to branch out in your approach to success.

Go ahead. Relax in nature to gain greater perspective. Breathe deeply of the forest’s balm. Oxygen is your Life Force and your connection to Spirit. You’ll achieve much greater success in life if you’re in tune to your your intuition, your guidance, your essence.

Let the trees sweep away your stress and tension. These are like static on your line of communication with your heart. Then ask your Self and your team of Divine Helpers what’s needed right now.

Achieving success through inspired action, which comes from being connected to your inner guidance, is a lot more effective than trying to force things to happen through purely left-brain thinking and planning.

So go ahead, book an essential oil massage, relax among the trees, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep. You deserve it. And so do your projects.

#3 – One Step At A Time

"One Step at a Time" from the Treedom Collection

What do you really want in life?

Is it better health, a loving partnership, a successful business venture, to move to a warmer climate, a degree, more time with your family, to let go of limiting beliefs?

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re invited to bring your soul callings back to mind and to heart.

Are you being distracted by alls sorts of demands and temptations?

Do you find it difficult to say “no” to invitations and requests that take you away from your priorities?

Have you lost faith in your ability to manifest what it is you truly want?

Know that achieving your goals will happen one inspired step at a time. That’s the Law of Action.

So enjoy the scenery, but don’t branch out to explore the many paths around you simply because they’re there.  Stay on track – your track.

Keep your vision in mind and at heart.  Writing a vision statement and repeating it every day can help.

Saying “no” is also a gift to your Self and to those making the requests. Being at a party or a member of some committee when you’d rather be elsewhere won’t be of benefit to anyone.

The Law of Action is not about aimless busy-ness. It’s about the continuous process of tuning in, communicating to the Universe, staying open and receptive, and following through on guidance. It’s this kind of action that creates the necessary momentum to manifest your vision.

So take the steps, open the doors, collect the right tools, send your signals to the Universe, allow, receive, and manifest your dreams.

And remember … no concert pianist started by playing a perfect sonata. Be gentle on yourself as you walk your Path, one step at a time.

#1 – Wellness

"Wellness" from the Blossoming Collection

It’s time to dance, skip, swim, or make love!

Move in that lovely body of yours in ways that make you happy.

Have you been putting your wellness on the back burner because your work or kids seemed more important?

Has your relationship to your Self, your partner, your friends suffered because the busy-ness of life took over?

Have you rationalized your way out of your own groove?

Movement raises your vibration by inviting Life Force, through your breath, to circulate through your body, soothing your mind and spirit too.

Exercise can be fun. Find what works for you.

If you can, start your day with a few minutes of movement to wake you up to your healthy happy Self.

Then incorporate it in your day.

Park a few blocks from work and walk the rest. Run up the stairs instead of taking the elevator.  Start a lunchtime yoga or dance club with your co-workers. Join in for some backyard play with the kids. Go hiking with friends.

Whatever you do, don’t put your wellness on the back burner. You’re worthy of wellness. Claim it!

#2 – Open

"Open" from the Blossoming Collection

The life of a hibiscus flower is short. But what a difference it makes to those who witness its delicate beauty, drink its flavourful teas, or heal of its medicine.

What difference is your life making to those around you right now? How is your being here serving the world?

Here’s a great exercise I learned from the author/educator/businessman Stephen Covey to bring more of your Self into your life.

Imagine your own funeral. What would you like someone to say about you in your eulogy? How do you want them to remember your contributions in both your personal and professional life?

Vanity won’t matter once you’ve transitioned, so your answers will likely reflect the truth of your purpose and passion.

By starting with the end in mind, you can start working towards the truth of your essence.

Be more and do more of what you want to be remembered for. And be less and do less of what you’d rather no one say about you.

How can your unique voice add to the symphony of life?

Shine your beauty, dear one.  We need it!

#3 – In Passing

"In Passing" from the Blossoming Collection

Go ahead, get glamorous!

Dress the way you want to feel.

You’re a fascinating, sensuous, colourful person.

So dress that way.

Are you hiding in your clothes?

Are industry standards suffocating you?

Does your hairdo need a make-over? Are you still doing your make-up the same way you did 20 years ago out of habit?

This isn’t about dressing for others or pretending to be something you’re not. It’s about being your True Self on the outside as well as the inside.

Have fun! Play dress-up until you find your perfect fit.  When you do, your radiance will naturally turn heads.

Let your clothes, hair, jewelry reflect your unique presence on this planet – even if it’s to go to the grocery store.

And if nothing in your wardrobe speaks your language, visit boutiques and thrift stores to find something new-to-you that reflects your Magnific-Essence.

In passing, you’re gorgeous. I see you. Now show yourself!

#4 – Softness

"Softness" from the Blossoming CollectionWhether you’re a man or a woman, you’ve got both a masculine and feminine side.

If you’ve picked this photo, you’re being asked to honour and express your feminine side more.

Like it or not, this is still a masculine left-brain dominant world – at least here in North America. Learning to favour your masculine side is applauded in this society.

I didn’t even know I was doing it until an intuitive told me my right-brain was shrinking…. “Do something creative Dominique – anything – cut paper dolls!”.

Many have had to wear masks or ignore half of themselves in order to succeed. They’ve learned to only show strength and focus on goals, planning, control, actions, and results.

Where’s your feminine side? Has your right-brain been neglected?

This isn’t about dissing the left brain or masculine side. It’s about balance.

Do you need to soften up in the way you express or present yourself to the world?

Would you and those around you benefit from a more nurturing, creative, intuitive, spontaneous approach?

Do you need to enjoy the journey as well as the destination? Life isn’t all about work. You need to play and take holidays to rejuvenate and connect.

Don’t let your femininity be a wall flower. Bring your whole self to all areas of your life.

Here are some ways to nurture your feminine side:

  • contemplation
  • self-expression,
  • opening up about your feelings
  • time in nature
  • creative projects
  • play (cooperative vs. competitive)

So how can you be softer with yourself, others, and the projects in your life?

Tune In #18: Knock on Wood

Have you ever said “Knock on wood!” after sharing your good luck or hopes for the future? Did you actually touch wood to avoid tempting fate or attracting bad luck? Your head doesn’t count…

#1 -Curiosity

"Curiosity" from the Treedom Collection

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but where would we be without it?

Curiosity has led great minds into the mysteries of life and the Universe.

It’s also key to finding your own purpose and passion on your Path to your Highest Good.

Life is so much more interesting when you live it with a childlike sense of curiosity and wonder. You’re open, you’re aware, you’re awake and connected to everyone and everything around you. You’re present!

You become more accepting of differences and less set in your ways.

By exploring the possibilities, intricacies, opportunities, and diversities, you have a better chance at truly understanding what resonates with your essence and what doesn’t.

Curiosity is your ticket to authentic living.

You become clearer about who you are: your likes, dislikes, strengths, passions, etc.

What are you curious about? What’s your spirit calling you to explore?

Make time for it this week. Book a date with your Self. Mark it in your calendar and have fun.

#2-Glowing

"Glowing" from the Treedom Collection

Two slides   (remember those?) of the same  scene were sandwiched together to create this image. The first was in focus and at the correct exposure. The second was blurry and open to the light longer. It’s what’s called an Orton slide sandwich.

I did this to add a glow and motion to the photograph. Doesn’t it feel more alive?

The same thing happens when you add layers of Light and perception to your experiences.

If you always look at the same thing in the same way, you’re bound to stay stuck in the same place.

If you soften your gaze and open your heart, however, you’ll connect to the energy behind the object of your focus.

Reality isn’t as it seems.

There’s so much more to the people you meet, places you visit, books you read, etc.

Don’t be so literal with everything. Open up to the metaphors of life. Connect with the essence of the moment. Be in the energy by recognizing your Light and the Light of others.

You’ll see – everything will seem more alive and in motion.

Enjoy the glow!

#3 – Awareness

"Awareness" from the Treedom Collection

Do you know why your life is the way it is?

Your outer reality is a reflection of your inner reality.

If you grew up believing that money doesn’t grow on trees, you may be operating with a scarcity mentality.

If you suppressed your emotions as a child, your body, mind, or spirit may be suffering the consequences today.

If you persist in believing that people don’t like you, they won’t.

It’s as if you were constantly broadcasting your requests to the world through your belief system and emotions. And the Universe was answering by bringing to you what you asked for.

It’s so important to become aware of what you’re broadcasting. Don’t beat yourself up about it though. There’s no use smashing the radio… just change the station.

Look into mindset tools and coaching in the areas you feel need it the most: abundance, relationship, etc.

Be grateful that you’re now aware of your power as a manifestor.

Do what you need to raise your vibration and be happy. Like attracts like. Be what you want to have in the world.

If you want to be richer, be more generous. If you want to be liked, keep your judgments in check. If you want to have fun, play. If you want to be loved, love.

As above so below. As within, so without.

#4 – Forgiveness

"Forgiveness" from the Treedom Collection

“Forgiveness is the economy of the heart… forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.” Hannah Moore

Is there something you haven’t forgiven yourself for? What about others?

Are you keeping yourself prisoner by refusing to forgive someone for their perceived wrongdoings?

Who or what first came to mind as you read that?

Humans make mistakes. Although it’s hard to believe at times, everyone is doing the very best they can in that moment – your parents and yourself included.

If you picked this mystical mirrored forest, then you’re being invited to elevate your spirit by leaving your grudges behind.

Don’t let them fester and rot inside you. Let them go and set yourself free.

It doesn’t matter if the other person is aware or accepts your forgiveness. Trust that it’s making an energetic difference in your relationship. The true gift is the one you’re giving yourself.

#1 – Mystic Vision

"Mystic Vision" from the Connection Collection

When I create digital art by mirroring an image, something magical happens down the centre line, where identical parts join in perfect symmetry.

Can you see how the frosty ice crystals on my backlit window at night form an angel near the bottom?

It’s as if the connection of two identical halves into a whole created new and mystical designs.

Similarly, miracles happen in our lives when we re-unite with Source (or whatever term you use).

Actually, I believe that we’re always spiritually connected – created in the image of God and housing God energy within us. We’re a microcosm of the macrocosm. We just lose our awareness of it because of all the noise – internal and external.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could stay aware of our connection to Divine Oneness all day, every day?

When have you felt it?  Maybe it was during morning meditation, holding your newborn for the first time, or facing the natural wonders of the world?

Experiencing it is a blessing. But remembering it is near impossible once the busy-ness of your day starts. Life takes us away from our Selves and Source – stress is like static on your direct line of communication.

Don’t worry. There’s help. Call upon the angels to bridge the perceived gap between you and the Creator. They’re here to marry your energies if the chasm seems to big to jump on your own.

Angels are a part of almost every religion. We’ve all got them. Because of free will, however, it’s important to ask for their help. They’re here to support your soul-driven requests.

According to Doreen Virtue, world angel expert, we were all born with guardian angels and we can call upon more when needed. I’ve certainly experienced this. Have you? Can you think of a few examples where you asked angels for help and were amazed at the results?  What do you need help with now?

Different archangels can be called upon for protection, healing, harmonious relationship, etc.  Groups of angels such as the abundance angels and romance angels are happy to join your team of Divine Helpers for specific projects.

Trust that the angels are here to help you remember your Divine Oneness, creating magic and mystical designs in your day. The best stuff happens along that center line where the Light in you reflects the Light of the Universe. Angels are here to help you do that. Ask and you shall receive.

#2 – Visit

"Visit" from the Connection Collection

You have sailed through life like a boat upon the ocean.

What gifts have you left behind in your wake?

List 5 of your greatest accomplishments. It’s not important if others acknowledged your success. How do YOU feel you’ve made a difference in the world?

These could be in your personal life: raising a happy child, overcoming addiction, achieving the perfect work/life balance, etc. They could also be in your professional life: designing a successful course curriculum, hiring the perfect staff, winning some award, etc.

Now for each of these, reflect on how your Team of Divine Helpers supported you in these efforts.

Did an earth angel in the form of a nurse, new friend, or pet appear in your life to help you surmount a challenge?

Did a series of synchronicities put you at exactly the right place at the right time for a life-changing position?

Did your community’s prayers lead to a miracle?

Did your intuition lead you to making a career change that now allows you to better spread your gifts into the world? It may have come through subtle messages or, if those weren’t heard, through stronger messages like unhappiness or disease.

By acknowledging the various ways your Team of Divine Helpers communicate with you and support you, you increase your awareness and receptivity to their presence in your life.

You’re not alone. You’re never alone. May this exercise help you uncover how blessed you truly are and what a blessing you are in return.

#3 – Messenger

"Messenger" from the Connection Collection

Intuition is a muscle. You need to exercise it.

Paying attention to your environment for answers to your questions is a great way to help you tune in to your very own messenger service.

Everything has meaning. Then again, nothing has meaning except the meaning you give it. You’re the very best one to interpret the symbolism that appears for you when you’re seeking for guidance. Cultural and universal symbolism are helpful, but always check in with your heart to decipher the messages left all around you all the time.

Have you ever felt the presence of a deceased loved one in the appearance of a bird or butterfly?

Has a song on the radio carried a message to you with divine timing?

Do your messengers speak to you through dimes found on the street or tools like oracle cards?

Does one of your daily email services always send you the perfect message for your day?

Do your answers come in dreams?

There are so many channels through which your intuition speaks. Figure out which has been the strongest for you and keep exercising that muscle.

The more attention you pay your messengers, the easier it’ll be to hear / see / feel / know / smell /and taste their guidance.

#4 – Mindfulness

"Mindfulness" from the Connection Collection

This image was created by layering a photo of the horse’s head and a motion shot of its tail.

But there’s so much more in between.

Do you spend too much time in your head? Are you stuck on the past or worried about the future?

Can you think of a time when things broke down in your body and life because you weren’t paying attention? The messages may have been coming in, but you weren’t receiving them.

Your body speaks. It gives you clear yes and no messages about people, circumstances, and choices.

How aware are you of your body, emotions, and environment around you?

Our intuition speaks as taps on the shoulder – quiet messages through our senses.  But if you don’t hear them, you just might get a helpful 2 by 4 that wakes you up to what’s going on inside and around you. It’s best not to let it go that far.

Mindfulness is achieved by focusing your awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. It’s a mental state that brings you right into the here and now and opens your intuitive channels.

The more aware you are of the present, the better you can manage your health and happiness.

There’s lots you can do to improve your mindfulness:

  • focus on your breath for a minute
  • close your eyes and scan your body from head to feet
  • listen to a new piece of music without judgment
  • sit in nature and simply observe – notice everything!
  • walk through your home with a spirit of appreciation for the big and small blessings
  • really pay attention while doing something you do every day like brushing your teeth, driving, or opening a door
  • practice yoga or meditation to increase your body and mind awareness

The more you practice the more present you’ll be. What a gift!

#1 – Blessings

"Blessings" from the Transformation Collection

It’s not only women who have the prerogative to change their minds. It’s OK to change your colours. It’s part of human nature.

Every morning when you wake up, you’re different than you were the day before.

Your experiences, blessings, challenges, and reflections have altered your inner reality and your experience of your outer reality.

Nothing in life is constant but change itself.

Even your body becomes entirely new every 7 years as your cells get replaced by new ones.

So isn’t it natural that your old belief systems, patterns, opinions, preferences, and even commitments might change?

Because you’re essentially a different person than you were before, it’s important to re-evaluate your choices.

Transformation is a blessing. Life would be boring if you were stagnant in your ways of being and doing.

The same goes with those close to you. Please don’t expect your partner, for example, to be exactly as they were yesterday. You’re literally waking up beside someone new every morning.

Have fun discovering who that is and who you are – on your own and in relationship to each other. Grow together on the path of constant personal transformation.

According to Dr. Greg Baer of RealLove.com,

“Real Love is caring about the happiness of another person without wanting anything in return.”

This means that unconditionally loving your partner, friends, and family members can mean letting them go if their personal transformation journey leads them away from you.

Hanging onto anything too tightly will suffocate it. Encourage growth by connecting to what your beloveds truly need.

Don’t be afraid of change in yourself or others.

Be grateful for the blessings of this day and seek the blessings at every step of the journey. They’re always there if you look for them.

#2 – Layers

"Layers" from the Transformation Collection

Every layer of experience, emotion, desire, lessons learned, and more have made you who you are today.

This is why there’s no one else exactly like you. Your beauty is exceptional. Your blend of talents and skills is unique. Your ways of being and doing are distinctive.

Like one of my intuitive paintings. you’re evolving layer after layer. Although the previous layers may be hidden, they still energetically affect the final work of art.

As an ever-evolving multi-layered being, it’s important for you to understand the effects of the underlying layers of your life.

How is your past still affecting you today?

As Dr. Gabor Maté writes in his book “When the Body Says No – The Hidden Costs of Stress”,

“A major contributor to the genesis of many diseases … is an overload of the stress induced by unconscious beliefs. If we would heal, it is essential to begin the painfully incremental task of reversing the biology of belief we adopted very early in life. Whatever the external treatment is administered, the healing agent lies within. The internal milieu must be changed. To find health, and to know it fully, necessitates a quest, a journey to the centre of our own biology of belief. That means rethinking and recognizing – re-cognizing: literally, to “know again” – our lives.”

Your emotions have a huge role and are key to this process. Understanding these emotions is crucial to your health.

The cost of repressing, denying, avoiding, or overreacting to your emotions, is high. You’ve been paying it all your life.

As a child, you learned to fulfill the conditions of everyone around you, trying to make them happy and ignoring your own emotional guidance system.

The result is that you may have lost touch with the messages of your body, mind, and spirit and have ended up in a state of physical, mental, or spiritual dis-ease.

Are you unhappy or unhealthy in any way?

The key to transformation, therefore, is discovering who you truly are, at your core, and living in alignment with your emotional guidance system.

It’s time to let go of the layers that no longer serves you.

#3 – Sanctuary

"Sanctuary" from the Transformation Collection

At the source of this image is a photograph of the intricate frost designs on my bedroom window at night with the street lights shining through. I mirrored the image to create the top half and then mirrored that to create the oval, the egg.

A whole new world is created where the 4 sections join – filled with symmetry and mystery.

In this transformation, my bedroom window became reminiscent of the stained glass windows of the great cathedrals.

If you’ve chosen this image, you’re being invited to retreat into your inner chambers where your reflections can lead to transformation.

Your sanctuary is within you.

No matter the chaos of your environment, all you need to do is close your eyes and breathe deeply into your Self where peace and beauty are co-created.

Find the quiet within.

Dive into the symmetry of your inner and outer reality to find inspiration.

It’s from connecting to your Magnific-Essence that you can mirror your Self into the world and in all your ways of being and doing.

Meditation, yoga, contemplation, journaling are all ways to become more self-aware and to journey deeper within.

Once you’ve found your own peace, it becomes a beacon for others.

Your Light reflects the Light of those you encounter, moving them to recognizing their own potential and beauty.

So go ahead, leave behind the world of reaction. Take inspired action and build the strong foundation, walls, and stained glassed windows of your personal sanctuary.

#4 – Imagination

"Imagination" from the Transformation Collection

According to Rudolf Steiner, there are 3 stages of higher knowledge: imagination, inspiration, and intuition.

Imagination is a gateway through which inspiration and intuition can enter. It’s key to receiving Guidance and being creative.

That’s why it’s important to nurture your imagination and that of the children in your life.

Don’t let comments like “That’s just your imagination.” feel like a criticism.

Turn that around. It’s a compliment.  Own it.

A great way to exercise your imagination is through creative visualization.  This is the style of meditation I channel for my clients. There’s also a few sample ones on my site. Click here to try one.

At first, you’re guided by my voice and music through scenes that help raise your vibration, relax your body, and heighten your awareness. At times, you’re invited to explore and evolve a scene on your own. You may be asked to interact with one of your Guides, implement a certain action, discover a hidden object, etc.  It varies in each meditation and your experience of it will be different each time you listen.

It’s in these Self-guided interludes that some get stuck. They tell me they don’t see anything or hear anything. That’s OK.

Although you were born intuitive, you may not have exercised that muscle much. And if you don’t use it, you lose it.

Flashes of insight, visions, inner hearing, distinct smells, tastes or feelings come when your intuitive channels have opened up.

There’s no need to be discouraged, however.

Your imagination is a wonderful gift to get you started on that path.

For example, imagine that you’re being invited to look to your left to connect with an animal that is present in your meditation. If you can’t see, hear, feel, or know what it is immediately, make it up.

There’s a reason you may have chosen to have a giraffe standing next to you instead of an ant eater. Don’t discount this as “just my imagination”. Consider it your use of the power of symbolism to tap into your essence, your guidance.

The more you do that, the stronger your intuitive muscles will become until one day you’ll either see it there in your mind’s eye or connect to it through the various other intuitive channels.

So go ahead. Make up stories during these musical interludes of my creative visualization meditations. Then take time to uncover the symbolic messages that your imagination has revealed to you about your self and your transformational journey.
