A Holiday Gratitude Challenge: Are YOU up for it?

Gratitude is a gift! It’s a powerful internal healing elixir capable of reviving your soul and generating new energy into your life. This is a gift available to you right now and in every moment!

Whether things are going well in your life or if your circumstances challenge you to the core, there is something more powerful than any medicine, more effective than any counseling, and more immediately beneficial to the spirit: GRATITUDE. Don’t believe it? I encourage you to just try it!

Here is my holiday challenge for you: I challenge you to wake up the next 14 days and begin each day either writing down, verbalizing or mentally reviewing at least 10 blessings in your life. When you begin your day in this empowering way, you pave the way for even greater blessings to flow your way.

Even if you aren’t sensing that you have much to be grateful for, you can choose to shift your focus from any sense of lack, sadness, or even loneliness you may feel or experience, to a liberating, expansive feeling of gratitude for everything that IS beautiful and positive in your life. Feeling gratitude for something or someone attracts more of that something or someone into your experience. Therefore, to add more of what you desire into your day to day existence, you simply have to focus on genuinely appreciating and valuing that which you want more of! Gratitude is the divine tool you can use to add positive energy to existing energy that is already in your world.

The reality is that you can liken yourself to a giant magnet continuously attracting more of the same energy that you are emitting out into your environment. Whatever you are feeling, whether it’s love, fear, anger, frustration, bliss, joy, gratitude or resistance, you are in essence creating a magnetic force that attracts and draws to you the events, conditions and circumstances which directly correspond to what you are feeling.

Fearing something creates a magnetic force that attracts more of what you fear into your life. Feeling gratitude projects a magnetic force that draws to you more of what you are expressing gratitude for. Gratitude puts you in a harmonious vibrational resonance which naturally attracts additional energies that are in alignment with that which you are grateful for. It’s actually a phenomenally beautiful process that never fails.

So, what do you have to lose? Nothing. In fact, you have everything to gain. You may be wondering “How in the world can I be in a state of gratitude when so much seems to be going wrong in my life?” If you dig down a bit deeper and analyze this a little further, you will emerge with a crystal clear understanding of what is actually happening. First of all, it’s important to recognize the importance of accepting responsibility for whatever is going on in your life. Yes, I know this isn’t easy! The events, conditions, and circumstances that you are currently experiencing are manifestations of thoughts and emotions that you have chosen (subconsciously or at a soul level) as well as choices you have made at some point in the past. Those thoughts, emotions, and choices represent the seeds of creation that eventually manifest into your reality.

Remember, you are the one that thinks your thoughts. Your thoughts do not think you! In the same way, your emotions serve as a gauge and are a reflection of the quality of thoughts that you are thinking. Just to clarify, I know you don’t consciously choose chaos. What happens is that without realizing it, you are placing your attention and focus on what you don’t want! What you consistently place your focus on”? whether it’s illness, poverty, fear, or joy, love, and wealth, you will absolutely draw into your experience.

Since your current outcomes are based on what you have thought and felt consistently at some point in the past and those outcomes are now being experienced in your life, guess who created them? YOU did! Although that may not make you feel any better about them just yet, consider this…

Since it is you that is responsible for attracting and creating undesirable outcomes, then isn’t it also possible to change the thoughts and emotions responsible for creating them which will produce a desired result? Absolutely! Simply recognizing the fact that you brought them into your life (not rationally or consciously, but without awareness) provides you with an understanding of your immense creative power. This is exciting to realize. This awareness can be the catalyst that instills a new sense of gratitude for the power of choice that you have to create your life in whatever way you choose!

When you allow yourself to feel joy and gratitude for even the things that you might consider small or insignificant, you allow for even greater things to enter your experience. It boils down to appreciating the blessings that you are currently experiencing and noticing in your life knowing that this paves the way for greater blessings to follow.

When you consciously direct your attention and focus to what’s “working” in your life, you hold yourself in that beautiful energetic space. The act of appreciating someone or something can be likened to nurturing a seedling with sunshine! You are giving that “seed of desire” the positive energy it needs to sustain itself and grow!

When you choose to believe in someone or something, miracles begin to happen.

Offering unconditional love provides the space for anything to thrive and grow. As we approach 2014, this is the ideal time to nurture your environment, your business, your family, and your loved ones with love. It is also the ideal time to nurture yourself with self love, self acceptance, and compassion.

Embracing an attitude of gratitude begins a beautiful cycle in which you attract even more things to be grateful for. Therefore, even if it seems as though there are areas in your life in which you struggle or feel challenged, just remember that you can choose to focus on the things that are going well. In doing so, you step into the driver’s seat and you become a conscious creator, drawing more success, joy, and LOVE into your life experience.

The bottom line is this: The act of feeling grateful keeps you in energetic/vibrational harmony with your desires! It is only natural to feel sad or disappointed at times. The key is to feel through that emotion and then move forward without dwelling on that emotional space any longer than you have to. When you feel, allow, and accept those emotions- they gain the freedom to pass through you. In that space, you have room to expand and focus on what IS WORKING AND WHAT YOU DO WANT.

Ask yourself what you’re grateful for in your life. Feel and extend sincere thanks for those individuals, situations and events. Truly FEEL the joy and allow yourself to linger in that space and soak up the powerful, radiant energies that stem from this state of gratitude and bliss. Now, remember that feeling, and purposely and intentionally return to it throughout your day.

I choose to continue to live by one of my favorite mantras: “Count your blessings and watch them multiply.” May you experience the power of this mantra for yourselves. Wishing you abundant blessings this holiday season and plenty to be thankful for!

With Love and Gratitude,

Cari

Developing a New Partnership with Wealth and Worthiness!

Worthiness inspires wealth consciousness and this must exist WITHIN us before we can ever begin to manifest external success. The ability we have to attract ideal clients, monetary opportunities, and live an abundant, wealthy lifestyle (inside and out) stems from a consistently held expansive mind set that is self generated and self perpetuated. That mind set expects and believes that we are worthy and deserving of being rich. It is our birthright to be spiritual AND wealthy! This can be quite a roadblock for people that prevents them (oftentimes subconsciously) from experiencing the success they desire.

Those limiting beliefs are most often developed at a very early age. The reason they are serving as roadblocks to success is because those deeply ingrained beliefs are rooted in scarcity thinking. Becoming aware of those limiting mind-sets is the first step to transforming them into empowering ones that allow you to experience the immense wealth you desire. It’s time to CLAIM THE SUCCESS you so richly deserve.

Money is either drawn to us or repelled from us depending on our thoughts, beliefs and expectations. It’s an inner game that generates greater rewards when awareness comes into play. If you think you have to work hard for your money, you will manifest that belief into your reality. It’s that simple. You will make certain that generating money is a challenge for you, because that is what you expect! If you say “It is not possible for me to be rich”, you won’t be! The good news is that you can shift those limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering beliefs that will support your dreams.

Your “consciousness” about worthiness and money can directly sabotage your potential for creating and attracting wealth if they aren’t in alignment with your desires and goals. They can also miraculously enhance your potential for creating and attracting wealth when the inner is aligned with the outer. This is precisely what you want to aim for.

If you want your financial situation to be different, you have to choose to do things differently. You have to be willing to believe that you deserve it! You have to be willing to look at any thoughts, attitudes, feelings, and behavior that keep you trapped in your current limited lifestyle. In other words, you must to be willing to make a change. Change can be scary, but it’s the key to success and soul-full liberation — not to mention financial freedom! Inspired change empowers you from the inside-out.

You can create a whole new vision for your life and you can begin right now. There is no benefit to waiting until tomorrow to begin developing inner worth and a wealthy mind-set. Change can happen right now. Make a commitment to examine your current belief systems. Are they limiting your ability to magnetize wealth? If so, begin visualizing the best scenario possible for yourself. Don’t hold back. Dream and visualize your biggest dream. See you circumstances, your lifestyle, and your business as clearly as possible. See yourself and your business flourishing. How does it make you feel?

Today can be the first day of the rest of your abundant, prosperous life! It’s all up to you. Take that first step. Then, focus on your new vision on a daily basis. Create a new, liberating habit that will allow for phenomenal new levels of growth and success in your life. It all begins in your mind. Oh, and remember, you deserve wealth.

You deserve success. All you have to do now is claim it!  

Make it a beautiful week for yourself!

I hope this article shines the light of truth onto your own path of expansion and growth. If I may be of support to you, please don’t hesitate to contact me at Cari@CariMurphy.com.
 
With love and gratitude always,

Another beautiful week is upon us! Another gateway to expansion has opened! The following powerful words are ever-present and lingering in my mind today….

AWAKENING, DARING, REMEMBERING, ELEVATING, EXPANDING, TRANSCENDING, EVOLVING…LIBERATION!

Every new day and every new week is another opportunity to live our lives a-new. Based on all of our previous experiences (including all the challenges!) we are always (in all ways!) given the chance to emerge into the world with our newly refined preferences and ideas for what we wish to create. I find that pretty exciting, don’t you? Life isn’t intended to remain the same! We are intended to apply the knowledge, wisdom and clarity gained from our past to create more empowering and rewarding tomorrows! The purpose for life is expansion, growth, and further empowerment for the soul.

Have you noticed that life really does offer us a series of minute-by-minute miracles? Have you realized that it takes our awareness and attention to notice and appreciate them? I know I have! I spent some time in New York City this past week and came home greatly appreciating the experience and all the joyful memories, successes and moments of clarity that the trip offered. I also appreciated the special time spent with my beautiful daughter!

What, new, expansive CHOICE could you make today that would allow for a completely new OUTCOME or experience? What empowered stance could you take today that would allow for a phenomenal new result? What INSPIRED decision could you make RIGHT NOW that would bring a greater sense of LOVE, CONNECTION and PEACE into your life in this moment?

This week my intention is simple. I’m going to apply the following statement into as many moments as possible: “BE someone you want to BE around!” Isn’t that a simple, yet profound statement? Instead of waiting around for our environment or others to make us happy (or waiting for them to act, communicate, share or BE like we want them to be!) why not take accountability for own our JOY and just BE that person ourselves! From what I’ve noticed, once we claim that joyful energy and emit that into the world, we naturally attract other joyful people! We become the tone-setters of our lives instead of waiting for the behavior of others to set our “tone” FOR us! It’s much more empowering to be pro-active instead of re-active!

Just some things for you to ponder, consider and hopefully act on! You deserve to elevate your entire experience of life right now. No need to wait… NOW IS THE TIME TO EXPAND!

Limitless love and blessings from my heart to yours,

Cari

Awaken Your Intuition!

Awakening your intuition requires nothing more than improving your spiritual “health” and generating some positive momentum!

Here are seven easy steps to do just that. You may be surprised at how easy they are!

1. Communicate: Intuition is about communicating with your inner self. The first step in awakening your intuition is to begin regularly communicating with your inner self. How? Awareness of you how you’re feeling. This helps you gain a clear picture of what you want and where your happiness lies. Get clear on your passions, desires, and soul’s deepest aspirations. What excites you? What fuels you? Explore the inner landscape of who you are beyond the physical body. Explore the totality of your being, the part of you that cannot be seen. This magical unseen space resides within you and holds the potential for anything and everything you desire. Begin to acknowledge your soul self and develop that infinite connection and relationship. Ask questions. Then, listen for the answer! The key is listening and responding to what you hear.

2. BE Positive: Pessimism creates stress – emotional, physical, mental and spiritual. When you actively and consciously free yourself from your worries (worry is simply a prayer for what you don’t want!) your body gradually attains a state of peaceful relaxation. The same thing happens to your mind when you think positive, nurturing, nourishing good thoughts. A relaxed and calm mind can more easily hear and interpret the messages from your soul. The clutter and chaos of pessimistic behavior does not allow for the clarity or receptivity necessary for listening and interpreting the insightful messages you are meant to receive.

3. Meditate: Ever wonder why so many spiritual leaders emphasize the importance of meditation? If your heart and mind are cluttered or if there is pain in your body, these conditions will steal your focus and attention. It will prevent you from being able to hear, listen or focus on the internal guidance attempting to flow through. Meditation soothes your body, helps your mind relax and releases resistance. Resistance and allowance cannot occur at the same time. With intention, compassion, self care and trust, you can more easily let go and receive. Meditation gives you the quiet time with yourself. This is essential for spiritual growth and expansion. It paves the way for a clear avenue through which you can steer your physical vessel with grace, joy and ease!

4. Be Creative: Creative expression is the language of the soul. Allow yourself to get into the flow! Open the faucet of creativity and divine expression by giving attention to your passions. Take the time to nurture your passions. Allow this inspiration to flow through you more frequently. This will help you understand yourself, reclaim your gifts, and receive messages from your soul. It takes your attention away from anything other than the purity of divine expression. This flow is far more powerful than fear. In fact, fear cannot exist when you are in this space! It also relaxes your body and eases tension, helping you awaken your divine intuition in beautiful new ways.

5. Be Patient and Compassionate: Enjoy the beauty in each moment without rushing to experience tomorrow. Set the intention to be patient with yourself as awaken your intuition. Be open to receiving divinely inspired guidance and don’t worry about not getting the “right” message or not getting any message at all. Don’t worry about receiving your messages in a specific way. Just stay open and receptive. There is no right or wrong way to experience an intuitive feeling. In fact, any labeling or defining blocks reception. Intuition can come as an emotion charge, a knowing, a physical response, a vision or all those things combined! Just remember that as long as you focus on not getting any messages, you’ll impede the natural flow. Instead, celebrate every intuitive “hit” you get. This will boost your confidence and hone your skills. This will stretch your intuitive muscles so they expand more easily! Then, you will feel, hear, see and know divine guidance more consistently. Don’t judge or fear it. Just be open. Be patient. Be aware! Many lead such chaotic lives they don’t even notice the synchronicities happening around them! They often chalk it up to a coincidence if they notice at all! Cherish the moments of inspiration and nurture them. In doing so, they will come more regularly and easily.

6. Play: There are many things you can do to begin living a more intuitive, insightful, imaginative, creative, and beautiful life. Keep it simple! Be more playful, spontaneous and open! Practice honing your intuitive skills by making it a game. Before you know it you’ll be getting intuitive hits all the time. Just relax, have fun with it and appreciate the support your spirit is attempting to offer you each day.

7. Keep a Daily Momentum Journal: Keep a journal of daily events, feelings and dreams that reflect the expansion of your intuition. The journal will show you how your feelings, intuition and dreams relate to your everyday events. As you document what’s working, you will keep the positive momentum flowing! Journals are great reflective tools for heightened awareness. They help you see how you’ve responded to your intuition AND how your intuition has responded to you. Acknowledging these moments helps you realize how often this is actually happening! You may take your “tuned in” state for granted until you begin noticing its frequency, clarity and power.

I hope those 7 steps were helpful, simple and easy. Now, they require implementation! That is the key. At a time when we are being bombarded with so much information, we need to filter information through our inner knowing, truth and discernment. We need to see, feel and know our own truth. Our inner guidance is our GPS in life. To ensure greater harmony and expansion, we need our innate instincts finely tuned. Happy tuning!

You Can Consciously Shift Your Personal Energy Field Right Now!

Every single day offers a fresh, clean, blank slate on which we can create whatever we choose.

Did you wake up feeling excited about your day, or did you wake up moaning and groaning (internally and externally) about the challenges that you expected to face at every turn once you got out of bed?

Do you have a genuine desire to change the circumstances of your life but wonder where to begin?

Are you ready to make a shift and change the way you approach the world? Do you know that this is absolutely possible? In fact, it’s a gift offered to you each day called “free will.”

The reality is that your personal energy field is a key factor in the manifestation process. In other words, the energy that you emit out into the world affects the people, situations, and opportunities that you will attract (or repel.) Your experiences are shaped by your energy field. You won’t be successful in making positive changes in your life by trying to change the external world around you! Instead, it’s essential that you begin to change your internal world via your human energy field. The reason your life may not be playing out in the way you would like is very likely due to an imbalance and distortion in your energy field. That may sound like a radical thought to you, but modern physics teaches that everything is energy at the most subtle levels of existence. Instead of being independently existing entities, we are all constantly exchanging energy with each other.

Have you wondered why some days are filled with joy, beautiful moments of synchronicity, and the manifestation of your intentions and your heart’s desires, while others seem to be plagued with from frustration and conflict? If you’ve ever noticed how some days are smoother, more harmonious, and brighter than others, then you’ve felt the effects of your energy field or your aura, in action! Each day offers firsthand evidence of what you’re attracting into your life by way of your experiences. If you don’t like what you’re experiencing, all that’s required of you is a decision to make a conscious shift in your thoughts, expectations, and emotions.

It’s important that you become aware of the way that you treat yourself and your body. First and foremost, it’s important to begin taking care of your physical needs by getting enough rest and sleep, eating healthy foods, and exercising. But, there is something else that you can do that will make a huge difference in your life. You can consciously begin to raise your energy with intention, purpose, and dedication! When you begin to do this, you very quickly realize the power you have to direct your life experience from the inside-out. There is nothing more exciting than tapping into your creative potential and embracing it with a renewed sense of passion and vitality for life and living.

When you raise your energy, you change your “luck.” In actuality, there is no such thing as luck! Life simply mirrors your consciousness. The universe manifests all of those energetic patterns (based on your thoughts, beliefs, and expectations) into your physical reality. I believe in the empowered beauty of synchronicity, not in the victimization brought on by believing in luck. It’s amazing how life changes when you make that shift from believing in your ability to create your destiny as opposed to waiting for “luck” to determine your life story.

You can actually begin to shift your reality by paying close attention to the words and thoughts that consistently come out of your mouth and run through your mind. Your self talk is a running dialogue that is taking place with the universe. Be very careful of what you say to yourself and what you expect for yourself because the universe has a funny way of manifesting exactly what we expect from life.

Without awareness, you may be drawing all the things that you don’t want into your life instead of consciously attracting the things that you DO want and DO deserve! When you consciously shift your focus and choose to give your time and awareness to all that you’re grateful for in your life, you will immediately shift your energy field and emerge into an open, receptive place where beautiful things can begin to happen. The act of appreciation can literally transform your life. Don’t underestimate the power of focusing on your blessings each day. When you do this, you will find yourself becoming even more abundantly blessed with each passing day.

One of the most important things to remember when you face challenges or seemingly impossible situations is to recognize that reality can always shift! In every single moment of every single day, you can choose to replace your feelings of stress, fear, or anger and breathe in feelings of peace, acceptance, joy, self love, and forgiveness. This is your choice at all times. You are not a victim of your surroundings or your circumstances unless you choose to be! An energetic shift is always (in all ways) available to you. You simply have to accept that opportunity each day of your life and begin to create your life on purpose by getting in the driver’s seat of your existence and choosing the energy that you wish to radiate into the world and your surroundings each day!
