4. Focus delight (love, starting very low)*new*
A very thorough focus workout.
If you have a dream, that feels painful, you may try and work your way up the vibrational scale with this focus delight. The rule is one: choose which options feel better. That’s all. :)
”For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
found at Self Employed and Loving It
I’m continuing to realize my dream. :)
I planned to call it all Self coaching pages, and the vibration raising exercises below – Focus Gym, but Self enjoying pages and Focus Delight sing more in my heart, even though maybe they’re not that self-explanatory. I’m looking forward to the clarity on this subject. :)
The idea is always the same:
…As you reach for what feels better – you’re on your way,
because if it feels better to you, it’s never a mistake,
if it feels better to you, it’s not the wrong way,
if it feels better to you, it’s Source calling you to completion
of that which you are. — Abraham-Hicks
And so, these exercises, games, delights, whatever :), are designed for you (and me) to easily raise the vibration in a friendly, supporting environment of better-feeling thoughts. They are designed to let us feel more our call of Source, feel more Who We Have Become with all our preferences, to feel our path to everything we desire and prefer.

(“Buddy Guy – 74 years young”: video)
I’ll love being 74 years young. :) And Buddy Guy.. since I first heard his What Kind of Woman Is This, I fell in love with him. :)
..I put this:
(“LifeFlow – Deep relaxation”: video)
close my eyes, relax.. and in 14 minutes (6 minutes to enter the alpha state and then 8 minutes of actual meditation to enjoy it), I feel renewed and refreshed. I start feeling calm and peaceful. “Issues” that occupied my mind before, stop being so relevant for how I feel. Life becomes easier. :)
For me these LifeFlow meditations were also very useful when I was in a very loaded workshop: in longer breaks I went to my room and listened. It helped me to release the tension and get back on track really quick.
It’s a playlist of nice, pleasant, relaxing songs for a weekend:

heard today on Russian Moscow Relax FM radio. If (not so many) ads in Russian in between will not annoy you, you may try and listen to it here. It is my absolutely favorite radio. :) Especially on Friday eves..
Dear all,
These days my dream is coming true, and I’m so happy…
When I heard Nicole Bird speaking of JigsawBox and the idea of taking coaching online, this idea started brewing inside me… I knew it was my path, something of it…
Then in meditations, in all kinds of a-ha, the idea became clearer and clearer…. I got more and more glimpses of it… and TA-DA!! It all became ready!! The clarity came to me, the resources came to me, and it became possible, to create what I now will call “Focus Delights”.
In the beginning I wanted to call it “Focus Gym”, but “Focus Delight” sings better in my heart.
It is based on many things, mostly on my Contrasting technique, I put it in a post for you.
The idea is, that comparing, which thought feels better, ..I won’t speak for you, I’ll say for myself – comparing, which thought feels better, I learn to listen to my feelings; I train myself to thoughts that feel better and not what’s just “true”. I’m training myself to hear that call of Source.
And I’m also raising my vibration. I start feeling more confident, more sure, secure, blessed, worthy, loved, interested,.. depending on where I started of course. :) Sometimes it feels like a whole focus workout. :)
In short, try it! :) And tell me what you think.
Your choices and notes there you can send there to your email. It’s not a subscription of any form, I won’t even get that email unless you choose so.
By the way, if you’re up to sending some feedback, and you’re reading these posts through email, you don’t have to go comment on the website, you can just hit Reply and write all you want to write, it will go straight to me. :)
Here’s the first Focus Delight.
I personally love it. :)
I understood on it what Abraham said about a dream that’s tended to, through vibration: “it’s my dream, my vision, my life flow, my ideas, my spank, my vitality, my reason to get out of bed, my feeling of life, my thing to focus upon, my gift, my love, my joy, my fun, my fullness”.
I’m so happy. :)
P.S. Now I added a lighter mobile version of focus delights. Enjoy :) as much as I do :)
This is chapter 2 from my book 10 Nice Mind Tricks To Allow More Money Into Your Life: A Paradigm Shift to Coming Home.
“He had heard people speak contemptuously of money:
he wondered if they had ever tried to do without it.”
— W. Somerset Maugham
Sometimes, we just want to put accents in the right places.
When we’re starting to visualize us having a million dollars, we start having some awkward feelings, like “not deserving”, like “all evil” etc.
In such a case, try to do the following:
Write on a piece of paper:
I don’t have any money.
or
I have one million dollars.
Now start with the first thought, thinking of all the consequences of that and trying to feel which nuances of feelings it is awakening in you.
Not so good, I suppose? ;)
Now turn over to the second thought. Imagine yourself in a situation when you would know you have the million dollars. For example, your bank would be telling you it’s the current sum on your account.
What do you feel?
Are you feeling warmth spreading up in your soul, relaxing away all that was contracted by that dreadful first thought? Soothing, smoothing… do you feel safe now? Free? Powerful? (If not, go to that first thought again and then come back here; do you now feel the difference?)
…Now we see that one million dollars differently, don’t we?
Instead of placing our focus on some weird things we’d be unhappy with, we now see the beauty of this state, feel relaxed… that all our bills can be paid… that we can buy things we want… that our rent is covered… that we can always buy food (did you clearly see that with the first thought it wasn’t possible?)… that we can do all day what we want… plenty of time… with that book we’ve always wanted to finish… with those friends we’ve always wanted to spend more time with… with ourselves… with our thoughts…
Now let’s extend it a little farther from that safe state: let’s get to some fine details!!
We can now dine in fine restaurants… with beautiful music… we can buy the best things for our loved ones… we can come home with gifts every day… we can afford all the courses, all the books we’d want :) … hire any specialist to help us with implementing our ideas…
What else?
From that safe state, make a list, enjoy having, enjoy basking in these fine feelings…
…Mike Dooley once said: “Your dreams are here for a purpose: they remind you of what’s possible.” I can almost feel as someone reading this, could be thinking now: “yeah, possible – for someone else. Or not in my circumstances…” What can I say… It’s a belief, too. What do you prefer to believe in?
Some more thoughts to ponder on:
“When you think a new thought, entertain a new dream, or mentally choose a new goal, your thoughts “leave” you and go out, in every direction, to the farthest corners of the planet. They carry a life force all their own – like ripples created when a pebble is tossed into a pond. You can’t change this… but YOU CAN use it.” – Mike Dooley
“The Universe here…
Question: Do you realize…
that for the simple, yet mind blowing, fact
that you’re even “HERE”…
you’re deserving of ALL else?” – Mike Dooley
Now decide which one of the two thoughts you choose, and mark it:
I don’t have any money.
or
I have one million dollars. -> better
What do you feel?
Behind the scenes:
1. With auto-training, people quickly learn: to relax, it’s better to contract the muscles first, and only then release them and relax. Ultimately, it gives a deeper relaxation.
2. When you switch between these two thoughts, you can feel as something in you contracts and expands. It’s an interesting feeling by itself, isn’t it?
And even more interesting is the ability to better immerse in the good sides of our goal… They say, we should concentrate on what we want, not on what we don’t want. So in this game we suddenly better see what it is that we want. And why we actually want this.
3. At the end of the exercise, we immerse in the fine details… in the high perspective… but then the syndrome of “reality” can hit us really hard. We’ve heard too many opinions on why this is “impossible”. That’s why I think it’s important to hear at that exact time something that our Inner Self would probably say to us, should we give it a chance to speak…
4. When we choose the “better” thought at the end, it does something strange with the mind. Choose honestly, looking at both thoughts, and when you make your choice… it feels like we claim something. Like it clears for us and for the Universe what it is that we want.
It feels like earlier we were …afraid to claim it. Is it like this for you?
They always say, we should clearly see what we want. Not just “as much money as I can get”, but some clear goals. It seems that this choice does clarify something, for all sides involved.
5. Try an advanced method: first, see, that you’re always safe and secure, anyway. That The Universe answers all your needs anyway. And then visualize having 1 million dollars as a way to have fun: see which things for a fun you can do with it.
“Only when pressed with darkness, can you begin to
seek the light. And how could you understand your
authority… if you had not first relinquished it? How
could you find your way, if you had not first strayed.
Now, your experiments with darkness, limits, and fear
have long outgrown their use. It’s time to wake up…
to remember… to know… that
YOU ARE FAR MORE
than the role you’ve been playing.
YOU ARE
the light,
the power,
the way…
For whom
ALL THINGS
are possible.” – Mike Dooley
(It’s amazing: I just heard the clip, not on YouTube, not knowing its title, and started to write this post, naming it so. Then I found the clip on YouTube to post it here, and guess what its title was. :) These sweet little sync’s, these confirmations.. ahh.. :))
(“TEDTalks, Brene Brown: The power of vulnerability”: video)
So much for Abraham’s “Confidence comes not from experience, but from alignment.” All that she says about those people who feel surrounded with love, and what Abraham said about being moderate about the Vortex, and what raising the vibration does….. I love this recognizing the pattern feeling..
If to think, what vulnerability really is? – giving in to the unfolding, isn’t it? Tending to the center, to the basis, letting the outcome be.
“To tell the story of who you are, with your whole heart.”
By the way, I found the clip here, at Goddess Leonie’s website. I wanted to tell you about her long long time ago, but coming to it only now.. well, better late than never.
What I wanted to show you, were three emails from Leonie, that I so enjoyed. She wrote them several weeks ago, preparing her new email course for Business Goddesses and then announcing it to the world. Do you feel how much sunshine she is? :)
(I’m sure you’re as much sunshine, too. :) I just love sharing these pieces of sunny-ness, touching them, feeling them.. It’s interesting.. I now thought, what do I so love in this her sunny-ness? – vulnerability. No guardedness. Openness to maybe even critics.. everything. Openness to love. To fully expressing self. Truly, “who you really are with your whole heart”. :))

You might read through it all at once. Or dip in where you need. You might go through each class week by week, or as you complete each stage of your business.

How do I make the most out of the course?

You’ll join up with your Goddess sisters in the Business Goddess Circle, and you’ll do the course together, and you’ll brainstorm up wild ideas, and you’ll MAKE IT HAPPEN. You’ll write furious lists in your To Do List book. Then you’ll go through and tick them off, step by step, miracle by miracle.
I’ll be there. Your Business Goddess sisters will be there. We’ll be tribe-ing it up, encouraging each other & dreaming up exceptional things together.
Because that’s what women do. That’s what we’ve always done.

How reading Mills & Boon will make you create more!
Posted: 02 May 2011 02:52 AM PDT
Hola gorgeous goddess!!!
So you’ve been riding wild donkeys, creating up a magical storm, making your dreams come true. Working those beautiful fingers of yours until they were calloused, eyes red rimmed & weary.
What to do next?
How on earth do you keep your creative well filled so you can get inspired again & create even more?
I’m kinda an expert on this one.
I create a LOT of stuff.
I’ve also burnt myself out – to a thin salty crisp.
Having been there and eaten that very sucky enchilada, I am 100% sure I’m na-na-never going to do it to myself again.
How to replenish the well
Enter Leonie’s extreme attentiveness to her creative (& soul’s) well & how to replenish it.
You might be expecting my list of self care to look a little something like this:
- Take a deep breath (or 4 bazillion)
- Long baths in lavender scented waters & Himalayan crystal salt (harvested only by monks OF COURSE)
- Elaborate ritual requiring the nads of a rare tropical bird and the collected sweat-dew from a virgin man.
(HOW.DID.YOU.KNOW?)
My god I’m silly today. Anyways. I’m sitting here in an Irish pub pissing myself laughing.
SO! Let’s continue!!!
What do I do when I run out of those dang bird ands & willing crystal salt monk miners?
I…
(are you ready for this?)
GIVE
MY
BRAIN
A
HOLIDAY.
You’ve done your work. That’s great.
Yay!
And there’s more to do… but right now?
It’s brain-holiday time. Before you start frying yourself.
Time to de-marinate. Give your brain cells a rest.
Stop trying.pushing.striving.to-doing.
Stop everything that makes sense.
And do something ridiculously, gloriously off centre.
So the thing on my to-do list?
I read one terrible (but wonderful, you know how it is) chick lit book every weekend.
I might be a soulful goddess with a bookcase filled with every new age book under the sun… but when it comes to a mind break?
I read the trashiest that our local little woodthatched library has to offer. Chick lit novels that never waver from the scent of predictability, blandly magical kid’s movies and – oh yes – Mills & Boon. The perfect of mind switch.
The last one I read?
I can’t believe I’m admitting this publicly, but you won’t tell anyone right? We is goddess sisters! We keep our secrets!
“Greek Husband, Otherworldly Wife.”
Resplendent with EXACTLY the image you imagine in your mind. Shirtless olive Fabio clutching woman who is apparently standing in cyclone as evidenced by the windswept nature of hair.
Let’s take a moment to imagine it…
or longer than a moment. (Take whatever time you need, sweetheart *winky wink!*)
I guffawed and chuckled and sniffled and gigglesnorted through the whole thing.
It’s absolutely NOT what I “should” be doing… and yet… it’s perfect. It’s just the perfect amount of silly + giggles + gushing that this sweet soul of mine needs.
It was the equivalent of a Hawaii beach holiday glugging down pineapple margaritas.
Oddly refreshing and strangely satisying.
So here it is. Monday. And I’m sitting in the pub (the only place open on this public holiday), writing you very silly love letters… precisely because my well is full again.
Want to know the wisdom I’m trying to impart in 3.4 seconds?
Give yourself a mind holiday, darling. Go to the Caribbean. What can you do to slurp down a mango slushie & lounge in the tropical sun for your brain?
You can be as dull and sloth-like as you like. You are the boss of your own well darling. You can experiment with what fills you. It doesn’t have to LOOK sacred. It only needs to be whatever it is you need right now.
Even when that means an olive Fabio.
YAY!
BRAIN HOLIDAY TIME!!!
love you long time,
