consciously creating 2010

last year i didn’t make any new year’s resolutions…  and though it turned out to be a great year, i’m learning of the power of INTENTION and i know that i need to implement more intention in my life because i want to do even more AMAZING things!!!!…. and intention is the first step to manifestation.  setting our intention- allows us to verbalize and get specific about what it is we want in our lives and gets us in the mind-set of how to get there while also connecting us energetically to the desired outcome. now there are so many goals i have for the following year that are great goals (like learning to dance samba or playing guitar better, make a dance EP, work on my foreign language skills, etc. etc.)… and i think it’s important to have goals. i have many! but as one of my LAAFS ladies suggested it’s great to have some BIG  main intentions to have intense focus on for 2010. so here are my intentions for 2010! i’m taking it to the next level! this is my declaration to the world!

* i intend to receive financial abundance through music (my performances, placements on film/tv, album sales, etc.) where all my needs are more than taken care of. My passion, my music, is my life’s work!

* i intend to travel the world, recreational and through my singing!

*i intend to keep growing as an artist of living. i will live a revolutionary life, full of love, creation, music, dance, passion and fearless self-expression.

and in alignment with intention is also the practice of visualization- many superstar performers from singers, to athletes, to successful business men, to astronauts…  practice visualization and i believe it’s  a valuable tool as well… it gets you in the feeling of what you are hoping to manifest which aligns you energetically. and when you are in life’s various situations the experience isn’t foreign to you, you are fearless… visualization helps us to consciously create our own world. it helps us to begin with the end in mind. the more clearly and vividly we imagine the details the deeper we will experience it…. emotions are evoked within you as if you have already experienced what it is you desire. the more we visualize the more we change something within us… our thoughts change, our words change, our behavior changes, our perception changes, our outcome changes… i will be living out the script that I have written for my life and you will be living the script that you have written for yours, rather than us living by the programming that has been written into our hearts and minds by the external.

tonight in our manifestation group meeting we verbalized our intentions to the group and help a sacred space for each intention. we meditated together. we focused love energy towards each of the intentions for our soul sisters. we also let our imagination explore possibilities for each other. in doing this we found it was almost easier to visualize for others as we don’t get caught up in our own bullshit, self-sabotaging  doubts…. but the shared intention allowed us to have breakthroughs in our own visualizations- perfect for 2010 being a breakthrough year! this exercise was powerful. the energy was thick in the room. even my friend’s dog reacted to it!  we can make intentions for ourselves which is amazing but it’s even more powerful when we share it with others and let it expand into the collective consciousness. and visualization and intention isn’t just about achieving personal gain… we can use our imagination to transcend self and create purpose filled lives of contribution… we can consciously create a better world for us all!!!!

2009 like wine u got better with time…

when i think of how this year developed i am amazed! it was a year of spiritual rebirth, of bringing creation into the world. a year of such growth…. i started the year living with my boyfriend in his mother’s garage in van nuys.  i remember waking up to the mechanics next door working on cars loudly, the fumes permeating the room, we would huddle together freezing (even with the floor heater and blankets)…the engines and drills would begin around 7 am and we had just gone to bed 3 hours prior from working on the album- which at the time felt would NEVER get finished.  i remember the borracho neighbor (who started drinking in the morning) and would put this horrible song on repeat as loud as his stereo could go… one day i got out of bed and walked into his garage (he wasn’t there yet he had left the song on) and turned it down myself.  i just didn’t give a fuck anymore! i felt stuck, stagnant in my environment. eeeiiii dios! i could go on… but how the year transitioned!!!!! how i transcended!  the affirmations, the prayer, my manifestation group, the love energy i gave brought about so many beautiful manifestations!  my debut album was released in july – M. U. S. I. C. (Magnificent Unique Sexy Intelligent Creativity) dre and i put together a phenomenal band, seriously ridiculously gifted musicians who are family. i am beyond grateful for them! we’ve had incredible shows that keep growing in connection, musicianship, inventiveness, passion and energy! we moved to an absolutely beautiful home of our own that i can’t help but feel continuous intense gratitude for. i love love love it! i feel like i’ve developed and spiritually deeped my friendships and relationships with my family. i’m understanding them and myself in new ways.  i feel so blessed to be connecting to such amazing souls through my blog.  this year was filled with so many challenges and blessings! it was my coming out year musically. and i cannot undo what i’ve done. i cannot go back to life without creation, artistic growth, and self-expression. i had been waiting for this my whole life!!! and it’s happening! and it’s happening for a reason as i know i’m meant to give love and inspiration through music. it always amazes me how everything can change so quickly. how we can be in such a dark place and then soon find the light.

currents of love, brazilian pineapple, sex, and hula hooping

just finished my 5+ hour manifestation meeting!!!! LAAFS!!!! incredible night! we got deep with our missions! i feel like changing the world Oprah style! today was POWERFUL! the manifestation blog from yesterday i originally sent out as an email to friends and had so many super positive responses… the message hit a core with people… inspired them to do things they would normally not do… think of things in new ways… reconnect with their spiritual essence. what’s even more amazing is that several people moved by the message passed it on to their loved ones who in turn responded with enthusiasm, inspiration, and love!!!! and it hit me that by me making the choice to put this positivity out into the world i was a catalyst of love… and by those who were inspired choosing to pass on the knowledge and inspiration they are catalysts and so on and so on and we all can be a part of this current of love… receiving and giving and receiving and giving! it’s fucking beautiful!!!!! made my day!……then as i was eating some brazilian pineapple that the rock band (that’s recording in Dre’s studio) left over here, i was missing my brazilian man… and he called me and we had a conversation that rocked my world… he was dropping spiritual knowledge/understanding/compassion on me gandhi style, opening up in ways that shocked me… a layer was peeled.. and it showed me the infinite possibilities and perspectives in love relationships… and i wonder what brought this energetic shift and powerful realization, what was making him hold me in this higher reverence? i guess sometimes people have to be away from you to truly appreciate you and understand you in profound ways…i mean how many people truly understand us?  or was he feeling my experiences and thoughts and feelings here and somehow tapped into that energetically? fascinating! i couldn’t get off the phone with him (though i was running late in cooking dinner and my beans did suffer- they have to sit for at least an hour for ultimate sabor)…i’m excited to keep growing and learning in love! i feel like i’m meant to teach others of love though i may not get to everyone in this lifetime. and speaking of love… though we did speak of our INCREDIBLE accomplishments of our group and our focus for 2010…we got on the subject of sex…. as should be expected with these sexy goddesses!  i love how candid some of the group is… i mean nothing is off-limits and i adore it… the questions came up – if a man is more endowed is he typically less talented or motivated with going down on a woman? (cause he feels he doesn’t have to work to please a woman)… and does size really matter?… also, isn’t a man who is uncircumcised more sensitive in feeling? … the answers were great! i wish we had video taped this conversation… real sex would’ve blushed… what a bizarre magnificent day… full of currents of love, break throughs, good food, deep conversation… i love life! we all have had those moments in life where we feel like hell but we truly create our lives… i’m living proof of that… i’ve developed consciously the beauty that is my life. now i must rest. i have a hula hooping video audition tomorrow! so random! i love life! wishing you the ultimate creation of beauty in your life!!!!

what you speak is seeking you

from What You Speak is Seeking You… excerpt on manifestation…

What you feel, you manifest. If you want joy, be joyful. If you want love, be loving. If you want abundance, give abundantly, receive gratefully and recognize the abundance you already have.

Recognize there is plenty for everyone. Bless others’ success, knowing it is your success. Be inspired by what others have created, knowing you have the absolute power to create your own success and abundance too.

If you have been masterful at manifesting what you don’t want…shift your attention… and become masterful at manifesting what you DO want.

Don’t settle… it’s like saying you don’t trust the abundance of the universe.

Amazing how we cling to the known, to what is familiar. We may be bored, we may hate it, but we stay and wonder why our entire lives and everything we attract seems to get smaller and smaller, less and less. The solution is simple. Jump. Jump into the gorgeous unknown. The unknown is where the magic of our destiny lies.

Complete and let go of the past. Where do you have unfinished business? When we complete the past we free up powerful creative energy that can go to work on our behalf to manifest our dreams.

When we surrender we trust that all is working out for our highest good. When we surrender, we say; ‘Give me an experience of the unknown…. give me something beautiful… that I could never have known. We keep ourselves in tight little boxes of sameness, the very little boxes we are actually trying to break out of!!!!!!

Get out of the ‘how’ – how is it going to work. how am am i going to get money, how could it happen for me, how how how… and place your attention on having what you love-speak it, feel it, think it, give it, take action, and see yourself having it with ease, grace and abundance. Let the universe and God work out the ‘how’ in brilliant, perfect ways.

Think of something that flows to you naturally. something that you are good at attracting. you don’t think twice about attracting it into your life because you know you do it easily, right? apply that approach to everything in your life and receive it all with ease.

Steps to manifesting!

1. Give voice to your dreams. Set your intentions.

2. Write down your goals. Affirm in advance that you already have them. Yes!

3. Thank the universe, in advance, for what you are manifesting.

4. Expect to be delighted! Be in the feeling of what you want to receive. (By being in the feeling you’re aligning energetically with what you desire to manifest).

5. Speak your goals with excitement and joy as if they are already in motion. Keep them fresh in your consciousness daily.

6. Take action on your dreams. Step out of your comfort zone.

7. Trust. Trust is the bridge between your asking and its manifestation.

8. Surrender and let go. Release what is no longer right for you.

9. Say yes! yes! yes! to your dreams and to who you are!

We are becoming masters of manifestation; Olympians of thought, word, and action. That means, in the face of circumstances that are less than ideal, we remain unmoved. We notice and accept them, but we do not dwell on them. We choose, instead to affirm our abundance. We give energy, appreciation and gratitude to the abundance and love we already have and to the opulent life unfolding.

love to you and your beautiful manifestations!!!!!!

LIVE YOUR DREAMS!!!!!

fearless manifestation!!!!

i am enamored with the concept of manifestation. making our dreams a reality. after listening to a program on oprah and friends on xm radio, i really became fascinated with the power of collective intention and had the idea to start a manifestation group… my friend jill had the same idea the same day- talk about alignment or coincidence (aren’t coincidences God’s way of staying anonymous???)… we started the group with 2 of our soul sisters shar and aneesah. what’s incredible about these ladies is that they are all extremely intelligent, spiritual, loving, uniquely and divinely talented. we had to find our rhythm as a group… we first met every other week, then every 3 weeks, sometimes we could only make the time for once a month… but we would make the time… we learned to be communicative, open, sharing, and committed to helping each other manifest in all areas of our lives… career, relationships, spirit, and abundance… a typical meeting consists of  updating each other on what’s going on in our lives, sharing our goals and main focus, and then giving each other support or ideas to achieve our intentions… we would also share what we would do to take action to reach our goals before the next meeting… and we hold each other accountable… not in a judgemental way… but a loving encouraging way… and sometimes if you can’t muster the energy to do it for yourself you can get motivated to do it for others…some weeks we’d come in thinking we had done absolutely nothing then after talking with each other found the value in the action we did take…  it is divine connecting with other women in such a deep way… and beyond just the concept of sharing ideas and supporting each other… there is something energetically powerful that happens when you put people together in this way… it’s uplifting in a way that is beyond comprehension… 

i encourage you to start your own manifestation group or womanifestation group! make it up as you go along…find what works for you… maybe it’s more career focused or spirit focused or maybe it’s all of the above… maybe you have a yearly retreat with the girls… meet in different places (homes, restaurants, the beach, events, etc.), maybe read a book collectively and  get deep with it…sign up for a seminar together.. see what feels right for you…. i really love helping others reach for their dreams… i really believe in infinite possibilities and that we are LIMITLESS… sometimes we just get in our own way… i really believe that miracles can happen everyday… 

i had my spiritual guru dr. wolf share with our group about manifestation… here’s some of the notes from the meeting…

-USE WHAT YOU LOVE TO ACHIEVE A HIGH VIBRATION/FREQUENCY IN ORDER TO MANIFEST!!!! I love this! So when you are dancing, acting, writing, singing, playing, making love, enjoying your shower, whatever it is that brings you joy…etc. also focus some energy/thoughts/good feelings on what it is you want to manifest!!!! Makes so much sense! Every moment (while doing what you love) you can add more purpose and meaning towards other things you want to manifest in your life. 

CREATION and REST CYCLES-remember that you are always fluctuating in periods of creation and periods of rest so honor these cycles. Take the time to appreciate what you have created. The rest is necessary for the creation…. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Also, remember you are timeless! So you have no limitations except the ones you put on yourself.

-BEING TRUE TO YOUR EMOTIONS-embrace when you are feeling down. Being true to your emotions helps you through anything you may be struggling with. 

-”Measure 10x (preparation phase) and cut once” – so when you’re ready to manifest then you’re fully prepared. Don’t rush it.

-We are energy 1st, so form is patterned by the energy (word/actions must all have purpose)… be aware of your words/thoughts/actions.

-TRUST- not just believe-TRUST in the unknowing, TRUST your decision to come here (to this planet, to this state, to this city), TRUST your power, TRUST your ability to manifest!!!!!!!!! When we lose our trust we lose our connection to all that is… 

-ONLY THOSE TRUE TO THEIR SELVES AND PURPOSE CAN MANIFEST SOMETHING THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!!!! (and don’t we all want to change the world for the better!!)

i wish you FEARLESS MANIFESTATION of everything your heart desires.

my LAFS ladies…i love and believe in you so much!

commUNITY!!!!

today I noticed that the word UNITY is in the word community which brought me to  deeper contemplation of community… community is truly us coming together as one…and though human beings are very individualistic we cannot deny how interdependent we are…. and we have to honor the power of commUNITY! i’ve been experiencing the benefits of commUNITY more and more as my awareness has grown in commUNITY… a few weeks ago I shared my first Shabbat dinner with some friends and saw how beautifully tight the Jewish community is- and how coming together for tradition and spirituality really strengthens them as a people. also, without my artistic community, I would not have been able to have such an incredible album- the brilliant musicians that played on M.U.S.I.C. play for world famous artists and shared their talents because they are part of my community! what a blessing to have a community! the super genius creative web designer for M.U.S.I.C., Josh Kohlmeier- part of the community… the phenomenal photo shoot by Piper Ferguson (who has done shoots for superstars) took the time to do a shoot with little ol’ me- cause she’s part of the community… the psychedelic goddess album art was created by Jon Marro all because he’s part of the community… I didn’t always have a community…I knew that I wanted to connect with like minded artists- artists about uplifting and inspiring others through their medium… artists that were positive, supportive, creative, loving… and thus I put that intention out into the universe. Oooh UNIverse (another word that speaks that we are one (one=uni))… I created a manifestation group with my girls (more on that later) to have a positive female force where we share our dreams/hopes/challenges/ideas and help each other in so many ways… commUNITY is a beautiful thing! if you don’t feel you have a community find one or better yet create one!  as amazing as we are as individuals- together as a collective we are POWERFUL! ONE LOVE!

one of my favorite quotes “BY ELEVATING THE LIVES OF OTHERS YOUR LIFE REACHEST ITS HIGHEST DIMENSIONS.”  elevate yourself and others through commUNITY! thank you for being a part of my commUNITY!
