This week’s question via the Soul Guidance Hub , comes from Jan Fletcher in the USA.

Question: I currently work full time, have an active membership in a non-profit and twice a month do classes for scrapbookers and cardmakers. I want to grow but with all of this find it very difficult to find time for anything. Where do I begin to sort through it all so I can make changes?
 

Tal's Guidance: Thanks for your question Jan. Since I’m not sure if you’re referring to growing your business or yourself (although they are always intertwined!), I will provide more of a generic answer that pertains to most anything we desire to shift in our business or life.

To begin, I hear you saying that you cannot find time for anything, and yet it is clear from your question that you are very busy doing MANY THINGS. So this brings me to wonder if the real issue here is a lack of focus and attention to those activities or qualities that really make your heart sing and your soul fulfilled.

So let me ask you a question. If you were living your most fulfilling life five years from today, what would it look like? What would you be doing? How would you be feeling? Where would you be living? Whom would you be spending your time with? In fact, I will invite you to write down what ONE DAY in your “ideal” life would look like. Go ahead and write down everything you would do from morning to evening.

Then, ask yourself what needs to shift or change in your life to make room for those activities and experiences right now? This may be a real eye opener for you in terms of shedding light on those activities you may need to let go of, shift or expand, if you are indeed committed to living the life you truly desire!

You see, even when you’re living your ‘ideal’ life, you will still be doing things! The question is, what things will you be doing and which part of you will be fueling those activities? Changing the things you spend time doing every day, changes everything! Also, when you’re fueled by a burning passion or purpose, even seemingly mundane activities take on a new light.

Ask yourself how you can begin shifting your focus and time to those activities that make your heart sing. And then take action accordingly. Taking action is key here. Clarity and intention, when coupled with action (and yes, small but steady action steps are extremely potent!) will result in the changes (and life!) you desire.

A few years ago, I made a decision to spend my life doing what I love and to live on purpose FULL TIME. Since I did not ‘come from money’ or have a passive stream of income then, I knew that 80% of my time is spent co-creating income. Since that was the case, it was clear to me that I would have to learn how to manifest income by focusing on what I love. At the time, I knew how to hold a job but nothing about how to turn my passion and purpose into gold. So I simply made a decision to begin carving out time everyday to bring me closer to my goal. I can happily say that I now live, ‘work’ and breathe my purpose. I spend a lot of time ‘doing things’, but the things I do bring me joy and uplift my spirit. In fact, I feel so on purpose that even if I had all the money in the world, I would continue doing it!

So you see Jan, it all begins by getting really clear about where we are heading, and then allowing that ‘destination’ to inform how we spend our time and where we place our focus. Commitment to our dream then becomes the vehicle that transports us all the way to the finish line!

Light ahead to living YOUR purpose-filled dreams!

So What Is Hypnosis?

Here is an official definition: Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person loses the power of voluntary action and is especially aware of suggestion or direction.

To go into a little more detail you could say that hypnosis is often over exaggerated. We use the term “hypnosis” to describe a trance like state.

However, in point of fact we all go in and out of mild “trances” or hypnosis type states every day; such as in those moments when our minds wander and we daydream, even when we just shut the world out and deeply focus on a book we are studying.

These trance like states, and they are all organic and natural. All hypnosis does is put you into one of these mild “trance” states purposefully , and over time the hypnotist plants simple, beneficial messages into your subconscious mind.

Although you might not remember everything which is said to you once you enter a trance you are not actually asleep, hypnosis is a wakeful state in which you are both deeply calm yet have a heightened level of suggestibility as well as a concentrated awareness.

Due to this heightened mind-set you can use hypnosis to rewire your self beliefs and patterns of thinking.

To sum up very briefly it is often said that hypnosis gains access the unconscious mind to get rid of the negative beliefs which hinder personal growth.

What can be done?

Hypnosis has a good reputation for treating phobic disorders and fears, or at least this is how it started out. It then started to be used with great success for weight loss and giving up smoking.

Hypnosis is now used for the elimination of almost any bad belief, it is used to help a wide range of health problems, and is massively effective for bettering self beliefs such as self esteem and confidence.

This week’s question, sent via the Soul Guidance Hub.com, comes from Andrew Coleman in the United States. Andrew is a Real Estate Investor and his website is http://cheaphomes-forsale.com

QUESTION: What wisdom and knowledge can you share about manifesting real money instantly into our physical reality?

Tal's Guidance: Thanks for your question Andrew.

I will answer from my own experience and years of immersion in wealth consciousness programs, books, practices and experience. Like most of us who begin immersing ourselves in a body and frequency of knowledge, I did so in response to my own need to create wealth and prosperity in my life by sharing my gifts and living on purpose.

Less than a decade ago, despite the fact that I could have plastered an entire wall with the certificates and educational merits I had passionately acquired over the years, I was deep in debt and had no clue how to create financial prosperity, let alone a decent living, by doing what I love and by sharing my joy and gifts with the world (which was a calling that had become uncomfortably larger than my ego, doubts and fears).

It was on one particular day, while sobbing on my bedroom floor in my little studio apartment in Santa Monica, California that I vowed to spend “however many more years it would take” to learn how to create authentic wealth in my life by living my dreams and sharing my gifts. I was sobbing because I didn’t know how I would pay rent that month. I was sobbing because I felt ashamed and helpless that I had years of education, passion and knowledge that I yearned to share with the world but “no money for rent”. It was precisely on that day that I chose to do “whatever it takes” to change my financial circumstances and set myself free. It was a defining moment that changed my life!  

So you see, back then, I needed to manifest money “instantly”.

I will share a few processes I put into place then that worked for me and that ultimately, led me to where I am today! Although today I have set up many “prosperity channels ™ “ to allow in larger and more consistent amounts of finances to flow to me, the process itself has not changed and I use it over and over again!

P.S. If you would like to learn more about Prosperity Channels™ and how they work, I have dedicated  an entire section to this topic in my 8 week Audio Workshop “8 Savvy and Spiritual Keys to Turn Your Soul’s Purpose into Gold”, available through the DailyOm.com website.

1)    FREE UP YOUR ENERGY TO FOCUS ON CREATING THOSE PROSPERITY CHANNELS™ THAT WILL BRING IN MONEY!

When your energetic set point is desperate and in survival mode, it will create a frenzied energy or “running after” energy that is not conducive to drawing in money.

So how can we free up our energy?

For many of us, freeing up our energy may require that we take care of our basic needs and those of our family first. This may look like downsizing, putting ourselves on a budget, or keeping that “non-inspiring” job while cultivating our dream business or venture.

For me, after finally “surrendering” to my financial predicament, I moved back in with my parents (which also meant relocating to another country!). Although this was a mixed experience of deep gratitude for having such a generous and loving support system, it was also accompanied by a sense of failure for having to do so! That said, this was precisely what gave me the breathing space to focus on my “dream life” rather than staying in the same-old same old survival loop. Even though my ego took a beating, I intuitively knew this was the right step for me to take at the time. In retrospect it was precisely this decision that supported me in freeing up my energy to restart my life!

Now don’t get me wrong! If you absolutely know in your heart that cutting your “old chords” in one go is essential for freeing up your energy, that too is fine (although this can feel very disorientating!).  Having followed my intuition on many occasions in my life, I certainly have quite a few examples of the way this scenario has played out in my life too.

My point is that money is attracted to an open and trusting frequency, not a frenzied, survival one! Simply be honest with where you are energetically and take action from there!

2)    SPECIFY THE EXACT AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU WANT TO COME IN AND BY WHEN.  

Write it down. I suggest choosing an amount that is 50% believable and 50% unbelievable to you. You see, you want to be true to your current energetic set point or frequency because that is your point of attraction. So this is about being honest with yourself. Years ago, attracting an extra $1000 seemed like a huge stretch for me. Today, I honestly know I can easily attract that amount and much more in less time….so I stretch myself to the next level of discomfort or disbelief. It is really important to be honest with yourself here and not follow the set-point of  your neighbour or a “wealth guru”. This is about working with YOUR current frequency and stretching it to the next level. Take it from me, we have all started with our particular set point. It does not matter if it is $50 or $50,000,000. The point is to begin stretching yourself.

3)    IDENTIFY WHY YOU NEED OR WANT THIS MONEY.

What will it support you in experiencing, feeling, knowing? Have fun while you jot “your why” on paper on in a journal.

4)    ANTICIPATE THIS MONEY COMING INTO YOUR LIFE.

You see, anticipation assumes that you know it IS coming in. It is a practice in having faith that the money you need or want will enter your life in perfect divine timing!

Let me share a recent example from my own life: I was spontaneously and intuitively inspired to support my well being by signing up for a healing immersion program that I had not budgeted for in terms of my cash flow last month. I absolutely knew in my heart that this program would be the most supportive next step for me and I affirmed that the money would show up. I asked myself why I wanted and needed it and wrote down something along these lines in my journal: “I have been so busy supporting others in their own healing process through my teaching, coaching and psychotherapy practice, that my own self-care has been neglected. I know in my heart that this program is an answer to my prayers. I am committing to replenishing myself and becoming more vigilant about my self care. My body and soul need this now. I know in my heart that this program is already paid for by spirit and the funds are already available! It is done!” This is what transpired after that: I began my first skype session for the program. The money had not yet come through but I was energetically clear that it would show up! I still did not have the immediate money to pay for the program but I affirmed that this would be taken care of. I was also very clear that this was something that was important to me and my clients (because when I am taken care of they get my best self!)! Guess what happened? About 30 minutes into my skype session I saw a payment coming in on my computer screen. It was from a client who had finally decided to invest in one of my coaching programs. The amount was $15 less than the entire amount I had to pay for my own immersion program. This is the power of this process! Again, let me be clear here, that I have spent time and energy setting up a network of prosperity channels™ through which money can flow to me. Spirit used one of these channels to support my needs

Knowing in my heart and in every fiber of my being  that 'source' is your provider, I send much light ahead to you all, I  know that if you are feeling lack or contraction around money, your soul is calling you (just like it did me!) to enter a process that will ultimately set you free!

Please share your own personal money manifesting stories, concerns, epihanies, questions and wisdom in the comment box below so that, as always, we can all drink from our 'communal well'!

Happy money manifesting to you!
