We have this thing going around in the new age world saying that our past thoughts create our present reality, and I’m here to say that indeed it is NOT our past thoughts that create our reality, but our present vibration.
According to quantum physics, all possibilities exist at every moment. That means, every possible outcome already exists, it is not “waiting to be created”. Thus, wherever you are RIGHT NOW, every single possible outcome exists, RIGHT NOW. Infinite realities are all happening right now, and you experience whatever you become aware of. You experience the “reality” that you are a vibrational match for. If you are a vibrational match for sorrow, because you have stuck emotion in your body, you will then be aware of the “reality” that is creating sorrow.
The reason it SEEMS that our past thoughts create our reality, is that our vibration takes time to “catch up”, thus SEEMING that we are “catching up” to the reality, but in fact, it is our vibration catching up to the possible reality that already exists.
To learn more about this aspect of quantum physics, I recommend reading The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot.
Therefore, what I’m saying is that we are empowered to create our reality in every moment. We do not have to wait for our past vibrations to catch up, our past thoughts to catch up etc. the only reason it seems that we are playing catch-up, is because our vibration takes time to shift from one level to another, say from sadness to absolute bliss. However, the universe does not work in the past, because every possible reality already exists right now. By tuning in to the new reality in this very moment, you can shift your vibration to the new reality at exactly this moment, thus changing your reality completely, and creating seeming miracles. This is why, in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmMNlmn1DPc, and you will see a seeming miracle being created very quickly.
No longer do you need to be bound by the past and the false belief that your past thoughts create your present reality. This is a difficult concept to explain, so I really hope it is clear, but if you have any questions, feel free to comment below.
Stay tuned for my next blog post explaining how it is your vibration that creates your reality, not your thoughts only.
What I mean by the Universe in this article is All That Is/Spirit/God/Consciousness.
The Universe is always wishing for the best for you. It’s ALWAYS championing you, loving you, and inviting you to stand in your highest power.
This is one of the most empowering beliefs you can have. And it’s true!
Every experience that the universe gives you is for you to grow and become more powerful, more loving, and more authentic.
Your intuition is always leading you to the highest experience for you. You do have free will though, the choice to do whatever you wish. You are so powerful you can even choose not to follow the universe’s call to you – your intuition.
What would your life be like if you entered a magical universe every morning where you are fully loved and cradled by the universe?
Imagine a magical land where you are guided at all times and everything is ALWAYS ALWAYS going for your highest good!
Make it a practice to enter this magical universe every morning. Do it as soon as you wake up, while you’re still in that slightly dreamy state. Enter your dreamy magical universe. Feel it, taste it, smell it, see it, hear it. Breathe it in! Feel it permeating every cell of your body!! NOW!
YOU ARE IT!! There’s nowhere to go, it’s now, it’s here.
I am so excited to share this with you today, because yesterday, while conversing with my spiritual teacher Adyashanti, he expressed so eloquently the answer to the question: “how do I tell the difference between my emotions and my intuition?”. So often, we are in this bind, because we are not sure what we are hearing. Are we hearing our intuition, or is it just fear?
Einstein said: ““The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
So in this blog post, I will share with you SOME of the techniques I talk about in my intuition playshop.
First of all, it really helps to know what type of intuitive faculty you use. Some of us hear our intuition, some of us feel it, and some of us see it. Just notice which type you are, and pay attention to that so that you can notice your intuition even more.
Notice that intuition can be subtle or it can feel like a knock on the head. Cultivate inner listening always, so that you are even able to hear the subtlety.
Each lightly. By this, I do not mean that you should very little food. What I mean is that you should eat foods that are higher up on the vibrational scale. Foods such as fruits and vegetables that are water rich and vibrate at higher frequencies than processed foods like tofu or dead foods like meat. When you eat foods that are less dense, you will need to eat a lot more of these foods to feel satiated. Please ensure you get all of your nutrient needs met. I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
Spend time in nature and in quiet meditation. I have created a meditation that is specifically made for spiritual awakening, and therefore is very useful for hearing your intuition. When you are in touch with your higher self, you will be able to hear your intuition very easily. This is exactly what this meditation does. You can check out this meditation by clicking here.
One of the most common questions I get, is, “how do I distinguish my intuition from other emotions?”. While I share many other techniques in my intuition playshop, this one, is by far I believe the most powerful. The method is simple:
When you hear your intuition speak to you, but you are not sure whether it is an emotion or your intuition, simply notice whether the intuition seeks to “justify” itself. Often, our mind will grab onto the intuition and will seek to know, “why”. Our intuition will never, ever, explain why. It’s simply just is. It just is. Your mind, on the other hand, will explain why, will justify itself.
I hope you have fun implementing this very important lesson!

Hi there!
Hope you’re all having a great day today! As I’ve been having a great time lately, feeling good, getting things done, life flowing in a great way…I decided to share my not so secret secret .
Intention and Attention.
Intention: When you start your day, as soon as you open your eyes…when you start ANYTHING, set an intention as to how you want it to be…
And then LET IT GO!! Let go fully, completely, absolutely. NO attachment, NO expectation. Just pretend you’re setting an intention for the FUN of it! FUN! Yeah!!
WOOOO!
Now, after setting an intention, and fully letting go, comes: attention. Be fully in the moment, no where else. Focus, focus, focus. Your energy is on what you are doing. Appreciate every texture, smell, feeling, sight, and sound. Be with your soul.
Open to guidance. You will be guided as you attend to every moment.
Then intend before you start the next segment. For example, getting in your car to go to work. Intend what you need to, but don’t be attached. If there’s a traffic jam, attend to the moment of the traffic jam.
You’ll create a life you love in this way, by intending and listening to your soul the whole way. And, you’ll be in divine bliss the entire way.
How many times have we heard that we need to think positive thoughts? That in order to create powerful, meaningful lives…you have to think positive and let go of negative thoughts?
I woke up this morning with a clear transmission of what I am supposed to write about. The message came to me clear as day that power and powerful creation is about love, not necessarily positivity.
So let’s explore:
In life, there are primarily two emotions: love and fear. All other emotions arise from these.
The universe is impersonal. The universe will respond positively to love, and negatively to fear. It’s really not that complicated .
Love is about allowing everything to be as it is. Love is pure and unconditional acceptance. Love is love. Love may recognize fear, but it will never shun fear. Love is all encompassing and all-powerful. There is nothing it needs to run away from or push away
Fear… is simply the absence of love, nothing else. Fear, in itself has no existence.
When you act from love in your life, you are empowered. You will strongly and joyously create miracles and beauty in your life… more love. This has little to do with thinking positive or negative. In fact, it is only fear that tries to think positive or negative.
When you are trying to think positively…you are engaging in fear, even if it is in a really subtle way. You are attempting to change something. Love is not conditional on whether something is “positive” or “negative”. Love is about accepting everything as it is. When you attempt to change, from negative to positive, you are doing so from fear. Please read the next paragraph for more explanation.
In love, you are in love and acceptance of everything, positive or negative. You can never get rid of negativity by letting it go or pushing it away. You can only fully love, dive into, be touched by this negativity. Your love will transmute everything to love. Yes, more than likely your thoughts will be very positive when you are being love. However, this positivity is coming from deep within. They are coming from your love transmuting all fear to love. However, when you attempt to think positive and let go of the negative, you are instead coming from fear, and you will not create the life you always dreamed of.
So allow yourself to be touched by love, in your deepest and most complete way. Love accepts everything. Think of a mother… she will embrace her child so fully even if he/she is covered in mud. Just accept this attitude of full surrender. Embrace the muddiness . Allow yourself to be fully merged with the muddiness, in love. Scary, isn’t it? Yes, scarier than death. But, if you are serious about awakening, and living a life of love, a life of miracles beyond your wildest dreams, this is what you MUST do. There is no other way. This is the way to release karma. Otherwise you will keep going in the perpetual cycle of avoidance.
Next time you feel negative, or confused, or hurt, just envelope those feelings with unconditional love and acceptance. If you feel fear, allow that to also be loved. Just keep practicing a little bit day by day.
Do you choose love or positivity (running away from the negative)?
I promise you that when you choose love, you’ll step so far into another dimension, that there will not even be a question of positive or negative. It is simply beyond negative or positive. Deep down inside, you will feel a tinge of knowing that this is true. It is not something that your mind will grasp, but your soul already knows it.
There can be a lot of confusion around the term “meditation”. It seems that every spiritual teacher is teaching a different method of meditation. Some even claim it is only their method of meditation that works! And then, there is the question of what exactly meditation is!
To top it off, some of us meditate for years and years and years without any seeming long-term benefits. Sure, we may feel better for a few hours after our meditation, but has it really made a long-term transformation in our lives?
If I may, I would love to present to you the path I took toward mastering meditation.
It’s been a pretty long journey for me, and definitely a very good one. It started with mindfulness meditation in yoga class. I had no idea that I could feel that level of peace and calm within myself. I immediately immersed myself in a whole slew of meditation methods. I went on to meditate for several hours each day, using several meditation methods, ranging from concentration meditation to contemplation meditation. I had several amazing revelations, visions, and spiritual awakenings during this time. I saw and felt with absolute clarity the very truth of this universe, and the way energy moves. This laid a strong foundation for me to continue my spiritual journey. Before I go on with my story, let’s question what meditation is:
My definition of meditation is communion with your higher self/soul/spirit/God… whatever you want to call this higher presence.
In order to most effectively and powerfully commune with this higher presence, it is in our best interest to enter a space of deep introspection, acceptance, surrender, and being in the moment. Many different methods of meditation work, and they all work when the above factors are present. All these methods of meditation are only bringing you to this place. Sometimes meditation does not work for people because they are not being brought to this place through the method they are using. This is okay, it is by no means the fault of the person, everyone is different.
Back to my journey in meditation… after many years of practicing different types of meditation, I eventually hit a wall in my spiritual growth. I wasn’t sure why I wasn’t moving forward. What was I doing wrong? I tried to perfect the methods I was using. Surely I must be able to do something better! However, I had come to a point where I have to completely let go of my ego, the meditator aspect of myself. I have to stop meditating as the meditator, and instead meditate as that beingness of who I am.
Through beautiful synchronicity, I came across Marlies Cocheret and Adyashanti. Through them, I learned the method of meditation that bypasses all methods and structures. Methods and structures are created in the mind, and they have no place in true communion with the divine. It simply does not match up. However, most methods of meditation do in fact use methods and structure to calm the mind. Therefore, we end up having this identity, this meditator identity, that is meditating.
When I let go of the meditator, when I simply fell into surrender, into presence, and acceptance of all that is, without using a single method… that is when I truly learned. What I learned cannot be put into words, for words cannot explain it. It is something to be experienced, it is to be.
I have developed my own meditation based on what what I learned, and combining several methods from all the years that I have meditated and been a meditation leader internationally. This meditation is available here.
So, now, I wonder how to explain to you, the blog reader, how to do this meditation. If this is a meditation without method, how can I explain it? I will do my best:
Realize that you are already enlightened, whole and complete. This meditation is about simply being. Be in the presence of who you are. When feelings and thoughts arise, accept them, love them. Allow yourself to fully feel everything that arises. Feel everything without judgment or expectation or attachments. Just simply be with all that arises, with all that you are, with all that is around you. There is no need for you to sit a certain way, breathe a certain way, or focus on anything.
This meditation can be difficult for the mind to grasp, because it is beyond the mind. This is exactly what makes this meditation so profound and effective. I invite you to simply try it out, understanding that your mind may never quite grasp it. I truly believe that you can do this right away right now. If you would like to have a voice guiding you through this, you can always download the meditation by clicking here.
If you have any further questions, please comment on this post. I will be happy to answer them.
Have you ever had an experience of knowing, or of synchronicity? Have you ever heard or felt a little nudge to do something or not do something and then understood later how that helped you in some way?
Do you sometimes find yourself in an expanded state and feel like there is a silent knowing of all that is?
We all have a part of us that is deeply and fully aware of every moment and everything. Within this part of us, we know everything. We know the present, the past, the future. We know all interconnections. We are deeply aware of the people around us and all that is going on in their consciousness. We are also deeply aware of all that is going on in our own unconscious. Simply put, there are absolutely no secrets. Everything is known in a deep and powerful way.
From this place, arises intuition. Your intuition is your best friend. It guides you ever so gently towards wholeness, love, and peace. It knows exactly what you need to do at any moment for your highest good. It gently supports you with thoughts and ideas that nourish and nurture your strengths. There is no judgment in intuition. Therefore, when we try to understand intuition, it simply does not work because there is no understanding to be sought. Understanding a sought by the mind. Intuition is way beyond the mind. This is a trap a lot of us fall into. When our intuition knocks, we try to understand it, and when it doesn’t make logical sense, we dismiss it. We are causing tremendous harm to ourselves in this way.
Another funny thing about intuition is that it’s generally very very quiet. So quiet in fact, that you need to be in a space of deep listening within yourself to even hear it. Sure, most of us have had times when our intuition has been very loud. These are the rare occasions. Most of the time it appears to us in small ways that most of us miss. Depending on your mode of processing, it may come to you as images, as a spontaneous arising with thought, feeling, or even as something you hear. Your only job is to listen and pay attention deeply. When you do this, your life will take on a beautiful flow. You will have a voice that is guiding you in every moment to your highest good.
So how worth it is up to you to develop your intuition? Remember, your intuition is already there, there is nothing to really develop. You simply need to learn to listen deeper.
