My intuition simply tells me: “No.” We can try our human best, but our perspective is shaped by our particular life experiences and the way we choose to see the world — our intention to see it as friendly or scary, war-ridden or peaceful, full of abundance or starving from lack. Do we see it as a stable planet or on its way to extinction?

Contrasting views

In personal-growth terms, it’s usually a good thing to know what we prefer and don’t prefer. What we feel and don’t feel. What topics push our buttons as well as what personal characteristics offer us the best chance of personal fulfillment. That is the stuff of authentic self expression and personal brilliance. As Abraham-Hicks says, contrast is what inspires us to be creators. We see where balance is needed and we create to fill that need. We see where injustice exists and we are motivated to address it.

Diverse lens of reality

Lots of people think they are unbiased and then express very firm views of what is what. I know because I can be very opinionated myself. We humans typically see life and life events through the veil of our particular experience of reality. A victim is going to see life greatly colored by a lens of powerlessness. A narcissist will perceive what conspires through their distorted lens. A doer may see the world through a lens of action items, while an optimist will find the good that exists to appreciate.

The more we accept that we see the world through a totally unique lens, the more we can release the need to impose that perspective on others, who have their own reality lens. Once we understand that reality isn’t one thing, we can investigate and explore the differences without needing to argue about it. So if I’m asked by a lawyer if I can be unbiased, is there any accurate answer but “I’m not sure?”

Expand consciousness

Personal growth types, like me, aim to expand consciousness and to release the strangle hold of the ego mind. I want to be more reasoned and objective, calm and considerate of other views, because that seems to benefit the greatest number of people. I think of Nelson Mandela as I write this. He could embrace a wider, less personal, perspective because he understood that it served the greatest good of all. That’s a great example to be inspired by.

Learning from other perspectives

We can learn a lot by being able to listen to other perspectives. People wouldn’t be buying millions of self-help books if they didn’t appreciate that their current viewpoint needed an adjustment or a tweak now and again. We appreciate that shifting our perspective can stretch our potential and increases the quotient of happiness we may feel.

So strike a “bias balance” to empower your personal growth and to operate from your best self. Know yourself, your preferences, your strengths, your life lens. Be aware when bias helps inspire you to new creativity and when it is blocking your ability to help others. Challenge yourself to look beyond your natural horizon, to see things in new ways, to appreciate other perspectives and to walk that proverbial mile in someone else’s shoes. That’s what anyone who sits in a jury is called on to do. And, all we can do is our best.

The surprise and awkwardness of newness

When you don't sing like Sting

The last time I was part of any structured singing lesson was in eight grade choir when I was twelve. I’m fifty, you do the math. So, this felt like stepping into new territory - and a little like I had opened the wrong door. I had to let myself be vulnerable and awkward. I had to accept that I didn’t really know what I was doing and be in the moment. I had to be a beginner. The personal growth devotee in me accepted this challenge.

Mental Messaging Madness

Yet, something else very interesting was happening, too. As the night progressed I kept hearing negative messages pop up in my head LOUD and CLEAR. These were messages that had been planted eons ago and reinforced over the years without me realizing what I had been doing. There was a whole big messy bag of messages around singing that I had only vaguely realized existed. Obviously they had been lying right under the surface of my conscious mind ready to speak up at the first opportunity.

These mental messages broadcast something like this:

• “What are you doing in a singing class?”
• “You can’t hold the sound of notes in your mind long enough to sing on key.”
• “You’re going to throw off that woman singing next to you.”
• “Everyone is going to wonder why you’re in a singing class.”
• “You know you can’t sing harmony!”
• “Singing soprano is out of your range. It’s too hard to sing soprano” (whaa-whaa)
• “Singing isn’t one of your strengths.”

I was both astounded by the barrage of negative thoughts arising and amused. Here was what I thought of as an “unimportant” area of my Self and my life. And yet I had all kinds of negative thoughts fully formed around singing. This made me realize how sneaky negative thinking is. We are socialized to believe that it’s OK to think negative things about some of our capabilities. We grow up thinking: “I good at writing, and not so good at singing.” “I’m an okay drawer,” “I stink at math.”

Recognizing your talents without down-grading your interests

On one level it’s good to know one’s strengths and talents. On another level the question must be asked: Why can’t we realize our strengths without denigrating our abilities in other areas? Why can’t I be a great writer without having to be a lousy singer? Can’t I just be a person who loves to sing instead? Why do I have to rate myself on every skill and interest? But that’s what we all do.

Since we don’t make such subtle distinctions as we grow up, we don’t even realize the extent to which negative programming has occurred.

We make judgment after judgment about ourselves and about others until this “good” and “bad” classification habit is so ingrained that it happens without even thinking. I obviously thought, “It’s perfectly alright to tell myself that I’m only a so-so tone-deaf singer.” So I did it for years — any time someone asks me to sing or a singing type situation arises. It should be no surprise that it becomes another subconscious auto-pilot setting that’s running. This happens even when we think it’s not about something important.

The danger of mindlessly programming your auto-pilot

As I learned last evening, such auto-pilot settings can operate in the background for years. It’s only when we endeavor to try something that runs counter to the programming that we awaken the habitual programmed thoughts. We may be a little or a lot surprised at the fierceness and power of these negative thought-message packages. I learned with abundant clarity that no negative thought is “harmless.” Each has the ability to degrade self-esteem and confidence.

What I noticed is that it’s important to keep challenging your subconscious programming. You can do this in three easy steps.

1. Keep trying new things. By trying new things you stimulate new neural pathways in the brain, and challenge old thinking. You learn that being perfect is not the point. You realize that learning new things takes courage and that’s always a great feeling to develop. For instance: If you think you’re lousy at languages, give it a shot anyways and plan a trip so you can use the new language. You’ll probably get such positive reinforcement from appreciative foreigners that you’ll see you language ability in a whole new light.

2. Pay attention when you’re attracted to something new or different. I wondered what energetic forces had called me to this singing lesson. “Voice” messages had been coming through many of my intuitive dream boards, which was why I was trying out this class in the first place. I wanted to discover what I could learn about how to use my voice more effectively. I was curious to find out what difference exploring my voice in new ways could make. I didn’t anticipate this particular lesson, but it’s a juicy one. When you pay attention to what calls to you, there’s usually a good lesson you need to process for your benefit or a positive experience to learn from.

3. When you stumble into a mess of old mental messages…LAUGH! I could have let the old messages get the better of me (not that they didn’t bring up some associated feelings), but fortunately I found the humor in the situation. Yes, the Universe does work in mysterious ways. By examining these old messages in a new light, you can take the sting out of them. You can consciously decide to release the old messages and to hold new positive thoughts in their place. It’s a good thing to uncover a pile of thoughts that don’t serve you and to transcend them with new actions that are in alignment with your personal growth and expansion.

Keep living with attention, intuition and vision!

The power of vision and visualization

Certified international qigong master and founder of Spring Forest Qigong Chunyi Lin holds a powerful vision of: “A healer in every family and a world without pain.” Just imagine the force of positive energy that could flow out into the Universe if each of us held an equally as powerful and service-oriented vision.

In fact, Chunyi Lin teaches that visualization is energy that creates chemical activities in the body. He states, “Through those chemical activities we produce the right kind of energy to meet the needs of the body and to help the body open its blockages.” So holding a powerful vision can create powerful outcomes.

Embodying values of love and health

For someone with such a powerful vision, when I spoke with Chunyi I was immediately struck by the gentleness of his voice and the happily loving way he shares his passion — something that is further clearly evident in the helpful videos I watched on his website.

Chunyi Lin clearly lives the values he embraces: love, forgiveness, kindness, compassion, being proactive rather than reactive and creating an atmosphere of continuous improvement. My own values of creative evolution and easy exuberance make me very attracted to both the easy empowering information he provides and his joyful and generous spirit.

What is Qiqong?

Chunyi Lin’s generously shares his expertise in Qigong (Chee-GONG), the ancient healing practice from China which brings the mind, body, and heart energy together to achieve balance through active meditative movements and sitting meditations. The Chinese call the energy in a person’s body “qi” (chee). When qi flows (“gong” means the “the flow of”) smoothly in the body, life is good and we are physically and mentally healthy. When the flow of qi is interrupted, energy blockages form and can lead to physical or mental health problems.

The most powerful force in the Universe

In explaining how Qigong helps to change energy for the better, he likes to reference Einstein’s belief that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed. Chunyi says, “Everyone was born a healer and can help others to heal, and love is the most powerful force in the universe.

He goes on to say, “The most powerful healing force in the universe is pure, limitless, unconditional love. Even if you don’t always feel loved or loving, this healing energy of unconditional love exists within you. Even if you don’t always see this love in others, it exists within them, too.”

Qigong and the Law of Attraction

The techniques that Chunyi teaches help you to get into the heart center and to allow that energy to help you and others at the same time. “Never underestimate the power of the human heart. The more healing you send out to others the more healing energy you draw to yourself — it’s the law of attraction,” he states.

For instance, his simple technique called Sword Fingers enables anyone to find pain blocks and open channels for healing, no matter their belief in the technique. This and other Qigong techniques work to help a long list of ailments from migraines and stress to depression and diabetes.

Four Steps to Healing Empowerment

Chunyi offers these four steps for relaxing oneself and tapping into one’s heart energy.

1. Smile. Chunyi light-heartedly explains that S-M-I-L-E stands for Start My Internal Love Engine.
2. Slow down your breathing. Breath connects you heart, mind, body and spirit together. “When you hurry the heart is ignored and your body is not as powerful. Love energy can only be found in peace. Slow down breathing at least 15 minutes a day to dramatically reduce stress and blood pressure.”
3. Connect yourself to the Universe. Chunyi has created the following “password,” to help you do this. Say: “I am the universe. The universe is in my body. the universe and I combine together.” As Chunyi affirms, “You are a resident of planet earth and the Universe. When you wake up your connection to the Universe you can do anything beautiful that you want.”
4. Enhance. After you have woken up your love energy, allow it do its work. Become a “love radiator!” Anyplace you go bring your heart energy. Each prayer counts. One prayer may seem small, but when you add up all the small prayers they have a huge impact on collective consciousness.

If you are at a point in your life that you still doubt the power of your own energy or your significant energetic impact on others, hold this final thought from Chunyi Lin in your heart: “You can change the vibration of your energy to be happier, healthier, more positive, more creative, more joyful and more Helpful to yourself and to others.” What’s not to love?

Chunyi is coauthor of a #1 Amazon.com bestseller, Born A Healer, and coauthor with Dr. Nisha Manek of the Mayo Clinic of a chapter on qigong in the recently-released Textbook of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2nd Edition. Master Lin is also a member of the Transformational Leadership Council founded by Jack Canfield.

How we respond to such potential life-changing events or circumstances determines whether we are victor or victim.

We each have fearlessness written into our divine essence. Karna Sundby, who is an inspiring life coach through her Inner Access business, has overcome major life tragedies to turn sorrow into personal, emotional and spiritual growth and wisdom. The “fearless” living and potential of all women will be celebrated at the Fearless Women Day- Seattle event this coming August 26th. Read her story and respond with your own story or nominate someone you feel has exhibited their own brand of fearless living.

As Told by Karna Sundby

The 2 toughest times in my life were the sudden tragic deaths of people I loved. Now I can see how the greatest challenges were the greatest gifts because they made me who I am today. One catapulted me into my spiritual search. The other led me to the work I’m passionate about today. People who make it through to the other side of their fears and obstacles often want to help other people do the same. There’s something so meaningful and healing when you’re able to help another on their journey of becoming fearless.

From High-Flying Adventure to Devastation

The first life-changing event occurred when I was in college in the skydiving club at the University of Montana. There were only two women in that club back in 1970, my friend Judy and I and we were living life, thoroughly enjoying the attention of all these fun-loving skydiving men! One day another girl skydiver came to town and the 3 of us agreed to make a jump together, making it the first time three females would be in free-fall over the state of Montana.

We planned our historic jump for Nov 1st – homecoming week-end. The night before was Halloween and I partied way too much. For some reason I took my phone off the hook and fell into bed. I awoke the next morning with a feeling of dread. I had overslept and let my girlfriends down.

I later heard that they’d waited and waited for me. As I rushed out to the airport to try to catch them, they took off without me. In an absolutely clear blue sky their plane collided with another aircraft and my girlfriends died. I kept thinking if only something had happened to change the timing of things. What if someone had stopped to go to the bathroom? What if someone had paused to tie their boot? What if I had been there, like I said I would be? Would they be alive? Would I be dead?

Finding Answers

These questions haunted me and ultimately altered my life course. I changed my college major to comparative religion and began searching for the meaning of life and the answers to my questions. Three years later I found my spiritual teacher in a young boy from India. I learned a meditative practice which connected me to the inner peace I was seeking; a practice I still do today.

I was so grateful to find this inner peace experience that I dedicated the next 15 years to living an extremely focused spiritual life. I took vows of poverty and celibacy. I spent years traveling on behalf of my teacher all over Europe, parts of Asia and the Middle East – talking to groups of people about paths to inner peace. I carried all my earthly possessions in two suitcases.

Back to the “Real World”

At 36 I decided to come back to the states and enter “the real world” again. It was difficult finding a job without many marketable skills, learning to live a normal life. I hadn’t had a date since I was 21 years old, so I had lots to learn about relationships. I kissed a few toads before I finally moved to Seattle and met the man I thought was the prince who would marry me and take care of me for the rest of my life.

A Second Tragedy

I was so happy. I’d just landed a brilliant job with a Fortune 500 company, we were living in a cozy little beach house and I thought I had the happiest relationship of anyone I knew. Then, one November evening I came home from work and found my fiancé dead. He had ended his life, probably because (unbeknownst to me) he had just lost his job. I could almost hear the sound of my future shattering as the medics carried him away. I turned my wedding vows into his eulogy. Then with the support of family and friends, counseling and a deep spiritual foundation, made it through that very tough time.

These two tragic episodes have been the toughest times in my life. Yet, when I look back from the vantage point of my wonderful life now, I feel that they were also gifts that made me who I am today. One was the catalyst for my spiritual awakening, and the other led me to my life work which I’m so passionate about. I believe that from the most difficult times, we sometimes learn our greatest life lessons.

The Gift of Life Lessons Learned

These are eight significant lessons I learned:

• I learned to feel all my emotions without fear and move through them. That journey can take you to experiencing more depth and strength than you have ever known.

• I learned that it’s not so much what happens to you in life that makes all the difference, it’s what you do with what your experience that counts. Learning and growing is what matters.

• I learned that time does not heal all wounds for all people. At meetings of Survivors of Suicide I met people who 15 to 20 years after the suicide tragedy were still feeling the pain, were still stuck in the role of being a victim, were still clinging to their excuse for not living fully. Time alone doesn’t heal. It’s how you consciously use the time that makes the difference.

• I learned that when you really want help and truly ask for help, it will come. The Universe responded to my request and all I needed to do was to have my eyes, ears and my heart open to recognize the help that I was being guided toward. When you reach for help, people care and they respond.

• I learned that tragedy can lead to deep compassion. My experiences put me in touch with the pain of humanity and a depth of compassion that I’d never felt before. I don’t think I would have arrived at such compassion without going through my own dark night of the soul.

• I learned that the path to healing is a profound journey of becoming fearless. Healing can be completely transformative and take us so far beyond just surviving.

• I learned that Life itself is so precious and that all the ways in which we grow are such gifts. My experiences with unexpected death helped bring meaning to my life and changed my whole perspective on death.

• I learned that taking what you learn from life-changing events and making a difference in others’ lives is important. I now help others not merely survive their challenges, but to learn from them and thrive.

Fearless Women Day - Seattle, August 26th

This August 26th the Fearless Women Day – Seattle event will benefit the Women’s Funding Alliance. The event will feature the music of Gypsy Soul and a “Permission to be Fabulous, Fearless and Free” presentation by Debrena Jackson Gandy. For more information visit: http://www.fearlesswomendayseattle.com.

Honoring Fearless Women

August 26th, 2010, is the day that women throughout both the US and Canada, will come together to pay tribute to the long history of fearless women that came before us and paved a trail of endless possibility. This day marks the the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment being ratified, giving women the right to vote. Across the country, women will be nominated and honored with the Susan B. Anthony Fearless Women Award, acknowledging their fearless contribution both to their community and the world.

Fearless Women Day was created by a fearless women herself, internationally acclaimed photographer and author, Mary Ann Halpin. In her extraordinary photography book, Fearless Women, Fearless Wisdom, she brings together 40 female entrepreneurs from across the country to celebrate their courage and strength in having worked through their fears to achieve great personal and professional success.

Fearless Women Day is an opportunity to celebrate the trailblazer in us all.

And talk about your trail blazers… I’ve never had so much fun working with a group of hard working, get-it-done people. I’m constantly amazed at what the women on the Fearless Women Day - Seattle organizing committee are able to do. Obviously the spirit of this event in a real motivator.

Karna Sundby is the host for the Seattle event and is featured in Halpin’s book. Her story of overcoming a life tragedy and realizing her true path to helping others is inspiring.

Members of the organizing team include:Debbie Whitlock, radio personality and soon-to-be Internet reality show host,
Karen Rosenzweig, ex-chef and social networking wiz, style guru Kim Crumpler, networking powerhouse Zita Gustin, wine expert Deb Stadelman, and presentation trainer and speaker Vanna Novak, and more fantastic women than I can name her. The expertise and good will during planning and execution has been remarkable itself. It’s enough to convince me that women are already leading and organizing the world for the benefit of everyone.

Check out the Fearless Women Day - Seattle event at http:///www.fearlesswomendayseattle.com. Then invite your mother, grandmother, daughter, husband and best friend to join you in this lively celebration of shifts of significance.

In addition to joyfully volunteering for worthy events, Melissa Wadsworth is a creative personal growth coach, inspirational speaker and author.

I recently ran across a description someone wrote of their dream trip at Conde Nast Traveler. The writer painted a beautiful and rich picture of a trip to Japan. He was very specific about the places he would visit, the weather, what he would see and experience through his their senses.

Visualize Your Dream Trip

So what is your dream vacation? Could you describe a scene that made it real for yourself and others? Do you allow yourself to visualize a big bold trip that you would love to go on? What are the details you could be visualizing that make it more than a vague desire? Clarity is the single most powerful element of manifestation. The clearer you are, the easier it is to dream into existence!

I was talking with a friend this morning who said that she visualized a trip to Paris with her husband. She envisioned being in first class drinking champagne on their way to Paris. Her dream trip vision was very detailed and made her feel really good. No surprise, the trip happened!

Win your dream trip

Oprah magazine recently ran a sweepstakes for five dream destinations. Did you enter? Which location would you have picked and why? For some reason, the Mongolia trip captured my imagination immediately! And, I’ve never thought about going there before.

Woman’s Day runs travel sweepstakes. If you hurry you can enter for the trip to Curacao Getway.

There are plenty of web sites that list ongoing sweepstakes and contests you can enter, if winning a dream vacation is part of your dream trip vision. These dream vacation travel and dream trip website also give you new ideas for travel, if you feel like you are thinking big enough or exotic enough.

Ask your heart and soul what dream vacation it needs and do an intuitive dream board to see the answer revealed to you. I’d love to hear about where you long to travel or vacation. Tell me your dream trip and put the dream out into the world.

Commit to building healthy and satisfying relationships in your personal life and business.

Here a few tips that will help you navigate change and more consciously deal with relationship changes happening right now.

1.Make a conscious choice about your relationships

If you have friends or family who are are stuck in old dysfunctional patterns let them know that you won’t be buying into the old dynamic any longer. Set appropriate boundaries and let them know how you’re choosing to be as a person moving forward. You will probably need to compassionately release some of your relationships that drain you. As hard as this can be it will free you to attract more nurturing and supportive people who happily exchange positive energy with you and encourage you to be your best Self.

One friend has recently “lovingly released” a 30-year old friendship, because she felt there just wasn’t any room for her in the relationship — it was all about the other person, her needs, her rants, her voice. A client in her mid-fifties is releasing ties with primary family members because she finally realized there was nothing she could do to heal the family dynamic. As she says, “I kept thinking if I changed enough, the relationships would be healthier. I finally realized that I couldn’t do it alone!”

2.Consider whether you manage your relationships to the benefit of all

Do the same issues keep coming up time and time again? Are you missing opportunities to be clear about how you want to be treated?

A friend in her 60s has recently set new boundaries with her sister and changed her interaction style with her daughter. By buying into the old family dynamic and reliving it with her daughter, she was reinforcing an old pattern of everyone being miserable, let down and disappointed by their familial relationships. By setting new boundaries and consciously changing her own dysfunctional patterns everyone is much happier. This is hugely positively life-changing for her!

Avoiding what you may perceive as short-term conflict can cause long-term misery. Whenever an issue arises, it’s important to address it. Be verbally clear about emotional games you won’t be playing any longer, what’s a relationship deal breaker for you, and how you’d like the relationship to flourish.

In business, it’s ideal to discuss early and clearly with co-workers and management about appropriate working conditions, what constitutes an atmosphere of mutual respect, and how conflicts will be resolved. People unconsciously bring personal patterns of behavior to the office. So it’s important to be communicate when behavior becomes inappropriate for work, as tough as that can be. You train people how to treat you.

3.Get clear about who you want in your support circle.

For a friend who believes in the positive power of the Internet, this means people from all over the globe who desire beneficial change in the world. For a small business owner or a soulful entrepreneur, this may be inspirational contacts that set a great example of being the change they want to see in the world. What personality traits does your ideal supporter have?

For a woman in midlife this may mean a small loving and open-minded group of friends you meet with regularly to explore your authentic Self. I meet with a group of women each month that provides a safe forum for expanding who we are in the world. For some of the older women, this means stepping out of their traditional roles at home to express emerging aspects of Self. One woman has gone from a quiet member to a joyful participator and it’s an amazing flourishing process to witness.

Courageously navigating change is one of the most satisfying challenges of life. Approach these changes consciously and with the heart-full intention that everyone will benefit.

Here are seven steps to feeling inspired despite a gloomy outlook and regardless of outside circumstances that are less than ideal.

1. Find a creative focus — I’ve been working on a large creative project that has me immersed in the possibilities generated by my creative mind and intuition. That creative focus is a fun universe to play in. What project could you be concentrating on that would feel equally as full of creative potential.

2. Experience the satisfaction of completion — So often we are just living life in “to-do stages.” We check off tasks a lot. What we really need periodically is a finished result! Find a project with a short start-to-finish cycle. This might be a new hobby project, house repair, a book to read, or a simple business service creation. Just enjoy your power to manifest completion in short order!

3. Do it regardless of outer circumstances — Given the cool weather here in Seattle, I could stay indoors and put off the hikes and summer activities that I’d like to do in warm weather. But by doing these things regardless of the outside circumstances I empower myself to move through limiting thoughts and habits. Ask yourself how you let outer circumstances limit your ideal daily reality.

4. Play tourist — I realized that if I was visiting Seattle, I couldn’t control the weather and I certainly wouldn’t stay in my hotel room. So my husband and I have been playing tourist. Going to museums, taking our camera with us on downtown jaunts to take photos, eating at the fun tourist-attracting cafes. This allows us to step out of our “been-there, done-that” mentality and to see our city anew. That’s always a game changer.

5. Appreciate the small graces — Each moment of sunshine, gust of salt air, fresh bloom and bird song is a seed of perfection. By seeing and appreciating a small wondrous gift, I have found myself truly in the moment, which is the most uplifting gift you can experience. It’s where magic is revealed.

6. Nurture your inner view — By developing the sunshine that you hold in your heart at all times, you ARE the perfect environment you desire. Little can ruffle your composure when you’ve transformed your dream life into your inner reality. That’s the true meaning of walking your talk — taking your peace and joy with you wherever you are!!

7. Lead with your intuition — By asking yourself “what’s next?” and listening for an intuitive response you act in flow with your spirit’s creative nature. That always creates an ideal reality that’s in harmony with your strengths and personal gifts. Very simple happy-making stuff.

Enough to achieve our goals. Enough to get it all done, with enough time and enough energy. Enough to feel confident we aren’t lacking is some fundamental way that dooms us to failure or falling short. We want to feel more than enough and not feel “less than” when we hear about the successes of others. We want to feel the joy that comes from freedom from a distorted view of ourselves.

We’d like to learn to swim in a reality pool of abundance, freedom and peace, in which there is always more of our wonderful potential to access.

Attention, Vision and Intuition open you to remarkable insights and discoveries about your self, your goals and your life purpose. Living with attention, vision and intuition shifts your experience of life in amazing ways.

Through attention, vision and intuition you realize:

Today, and each day, practice feeling you are enough.

Tell yourself you are smart enough, capable enough, worthy enough, deserving enough, creative enough, supported enough, loving enough and lucky enough to have what you need in each moment. Tell your Self you are perfectly enough. It is the truth.

It was written for people who are tired of simplistic approaches to magnetism (i.e., law of attraction) and success. According to Taylor, there’s more to the process than most people realize. The source of your destiny goes much deeper than just your thoughts. Other important factors, like natural life cycles, shared consciousness, environment, karma, and your soul’s intention, will influence what you draw to your life.

In this enlightening book, Sandra Anne Taylor examines the many elements of destiny creation, and separates the reliable facts from the confusing fiction that has built up around the Universal Laws. She offers a unique and comprehensive understanding about why things really happen, empowering you to triumph over difficult cycles without self-blame or fear. No matter what obstacles you may encounter, your consciousness can turn adversity into great opportunity! She encourages readers to let go of the lies and the clichés, and learn the whole truth for a transformed life!
