“So, why am I who I am, and why am I born to who I am born to, and why is it set up the way it is set up?” We say, “For the fun of it. For the joy of it. For the expansion of it. For the growth of it. For the difference in it. For the desire producing value in it.”
— Abraham

How many times have you asked this very question to God?  I know that I have throughout my life, and I still wonder sometimes today.  I love this inspirational quote by Abraham because it brings me comfort and resonates deeply with me.

Life has been fun and joyous, even jubilant!  I have experienced sliding down tubing hills with several other people connected to me, screaming my head off at the exhilaration.  I have held a baby and watched it peacefully drift off to sleep in my arms.  I have witnessed the sunset over many places around the world and marveled at Earth’s natural beauty.

Life has been an expansive and growing opportunity.  I have learned how to love deeply and trust in another.  I have learned how to forgive and heal wounds.  I have learned how to let go and release patterns that hold me back.

My life has made a difference.  I have inspired children to see their potential and know that they are worthy of love.  I have supported my friends through life’s ups and downs.  I have continued to learn about myself and reconnect with my essence.

My life has desire producing value.  I have sought to open new gates of understanding.  I have taken pleasure in new endeavors that lead me forward.  I have dreamed big even when in the face of others’ doubts.

You and I are here to experience joy, fun, expansion, growth, desire and contribution.  Listen to the wisdom of Abraham and utilize the Law of Attraction by allowing yourself those opportunities.  Additionally, reflect on how you have already succeeded in many of them.  You will be surprised by your accomplishments.

As for me, I intend to live blissfully, expanding my heart to allow love to flow in and out, growing exponentially toward oneness, dreaming dreams that yesterday seemed impossible, and leaving each moment better than it was before.

Enjoy this hysterical video.  It’s been all over the media…a baby truly living joyously!

“Plant Yours Today”

Whatever you are giving your attention to is already vibrating. And when you give your attention to it, if you maintain your focus for as little as 17 seconds, you begin to include its vibration, whatever it is, in your vibration. — Abraham

This Law of Attraction inspirational quote by Abraham makes me say, “Yikes!”    If you’re like me, maybe you can relate to this post.  Sometimes I find myself  focusing on things I don’t want.  For example, last night while working, I noticed how high and frantic the energy of the people were around me.  I mentioned it to other co-workers and joked, “Perhaps the planets are misaligned tonight.”  Well, guess what?  The vibration of energy of those around me continued to be frenetic for the remainder of my shift. If I had stopped in the moment and noticed the serene people for even 17 seconds, I wonder if that would have shifted my evening from discomfort to tranquility.

The inspirational quote above from Abraham also makes me say “Yeah!”  Because other times, I am very clear and focused on what I do want.  I spend time visualizing, thinking about, and vibrating with what I want to say “yes” to in my life.  The universe and Law of Attraction match my vibration and life flows down river.

So…I’m setting intentions today to live by the Law of Attraction and  give my attention to what and to whom I want to attract into my vibration.  You try it and let us know what shifts for you.

“Plant Yours Today”

This time of year so many people feel motivated to start fresh, to begin anew with the old passing and the new arriving.  Traditionally, our culture tends to use the process of making resolutions upon the eve  of the New Year. 

To clarify, a resolution is an aim to change or a goal for the future.  For instance, some people resolve to quit smoking or to lose twenty pounds.

While resolutions serve a purpose, more often than not, they are typically not achieved.  Why is this?  Maybe it’s because the person resolving to change is really not motivated to make the change.  Maybe there are pressures from family, friends, or society.  Perhaps, the resolution doesn’t work because the individual’s resolve isn’t heartfelt or sincere.  Maybe the resolution is coming from a place of leaving the present moment and focusing only on the future.  There are many possibilities to the failure of New Year’s declarations.

So, why is setting intentions any better?  Setting intentions is actually a practice encouraged all year long.   It is an intuitive, reflective, and heart-based process where one connects with self and universe.  It’s a path or journey, not a destination.  Setting an intention keeps a person in the present moment and unified with universal forces.  It is a flow of positive energy, and the outcome is unlimited and nonrestrictive.

When a person declares a resolution, usually it is a goal of what they want to change, and the focus of the resolution is on what the person does not want in life.  What’s wrong with this, you ask?  Well, whatever you focus your attention on expands.  You actually are drawing more attention toward what you want to release.

However, an intention is created in a space of what exactly you are wanting more of in your life.  The energy is focused on what you do want.

Still confused?  Here is a simple example of the difference between making a resolution and setting an intention.

Resolution:  ”This year I am going to lose twenty pounds.”  (future based and focused on weight)

Intention:  “I am excited that I am cooking nutritious meals that nourish my body.”  (present moment and focused on positive action and feeling)

If the resolution you set for the New Year isn’t quite working out for you, why not try setting an intention instead.  Here are a few simple steps to getting started:

1. Sit in a quiet space and close your eyes if you’d like.  Take several deep breaths to settle into the process you’re undertaking.
2. See if you can connect with the space within your heart where your desires and wishes reside.  Allow yourself to visualize those desires.
3. As you picture those wishes, get to the essence of those desires.  Ask yourself why you intend for those wishes to manifest.  If the intentions are aligning you with your true self, open your eyes and proceed to the next step.  (If your intentions don’t bring you closer to your true self then re-evaluate your desires.  You see, intentions, and even resolutions for that matter, are there to support our efforts in becoming the individuals we were intended to be.)
4. Write your intentions down in a positive flowing way that allows for flexibility and flow.  Visit your intentions daily to create a clearer and clearer picture of what you want.
5. Assess and reassess the intentions periodically and revise them as life dictates.

Remember…life is a winding pathway full of steep hills and vast valleys.  The views are always different, and the walk is often surprising.  Life was never intended to be a straight, flat road with unobstructed landscapes.   Embrace your unique journey and love its possibilities!

Ask and It is Given book by Esther and Jerry Hicks

Ask and It is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires

Although Jerry and Esther are listed as the authors, Ask and It Is Given is actually a collection of channeled messages from Abraham. Fans of Abraham and the Hicks may not find new information, but will probably be delighted to have an inspiring, updated book that speaks to the familiar conversation of attracting the life we want. Newcomers may also be intrigued by this excellent, in-depth discussion on how to change one’s life by matching the vibrational energy of one’s desires–taking the power of positive thinking to a whole new level.

Because this material is channeled, it often reads like The Power of Now or A Course in Miracles–not a fast food book to be devoured in one sitting. Rather, this is a book to be read in passages, with a soothing gestation period in between. It includes much advice on working with energy and emotions as well as specific chapters on increasing prosperity, reclaiming health, working with meditation, and clearing clutter for clarity. For those who are onboard with the “Laws of Attraction” and the “Art of Receiving” that Abraham speaks of, this could be one of those deliciously mysterious books that you can open to any page and it seems to offer the exact advice or insight you need right now.–Gail Hudson

“Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.”

Richard Bach quotes

Friendship is such a sacred and beautiful part of life.  Each one of us who is blessed to have a special friend knows how important those relationships are in our lives.  Finding just the right gift for a friend can be challenging.   Personally, my favorite gifts that I have received from friends are the ones that hold  special inspirational messages.  One of my favorite gifts I was given by a friend was a necklace that said, “Not all who wander are lost.”  Because I was getting ready to venture out on a three month long journey across the country, this was a perfect inspirational gift for the occasion.  Think of all of the times in your friends’ lives that require an inspirational gift:  birthdays, transitions, loss, or accomplishments.   We, at Seeds of Intentions, understand that finding the right inspirational gifts are important, so we’ve selected the most unique and meaningful gifts we could find.

Finding my way is always fun when huge new thoughts come to mind. Maybe this article will nudge you back or affirm your direction/path/place on the planet.

What if we – being from source, divine, essence of All – you know…

we are all part of deity that has come to earth as a part, in order to appreciate the whole better?

If you are wondering why you are feeling one way one week or month and then flip into another mode, take a look at this article. Those of you wondering about the New Earth, Earth changes, Shift of Earth Energy, Mother Earth “letting go”, your own ascension, enlightenment, or why you just know more for no apparent reason: you are not alone. All these things are related, connected, turned on. We are all experiencing some very new stuff. You may relate to quite a bit here. Please!  Enjoy it!

Your experience of shift has occurred.  It is occurring still in other aspects of life on earth.

Much of your experience now is blessed with new sight.  You see differently.  You feel more deeply.

You connect more intimately from the (heart). Take now and expand the heart for that is where your knowing comes from. This is where your dreams reside and with the refocusing on the heart and away from the (old) memories of the old book of the soul you open the new book of the soul.  In it you find it resides in all of you.

The new book of the soul is a continuous wave that reaches the consciousness of what you call the Divine and tugs at your physical being to be allowed TO BE. This long lost being is found in the heart.  It hears your breath and the rhythm of universal life. It collects vibrations that match your hearts desires and leaves you hungry for more. It leaves you filled to overflowing with love and gratitude, wonder and passion. It flows with compassion and understanding, joy and life itself.  It manifests being from the beingness of al life and connects you intimately with your hearts desires. There is no limit here. There are only limitless bounty and abundance and it has been waiting for you for eons.

The new book of the soul is like no other before. It is the culmination of all that is contrast to what has once been said to be dark or lower vibration. This is enlightenment to the light of love. This is the squiggle and breath that resides so limitless and infinite through all beingness.

The new book of the soul moves and integrates with you and about you filling your cells and channels, your energy fields and those with whom you come into contact. Those is more than what you perceive, whether by sight or to be animate or alive. All is alive. All vibrates the energy of life. You are apart of it all and it a part of you and together you will feel at One.

The new book of the soul is connected and unified. It has neither depth nor depthlessness. It is the source of what you call Miracle. It is the source of the soul itself.

The new book of the soul has pages that are filled with your endless imagination. It can not hold karma. It can not hold memory. It only connects and moves; it integrates and connects. There is nothing faster calibrating, nor faster moving – not even light. This is beyond the Merkaba, beyond the state of mastery; for there is no light that is not shining, nor energy that is not vibrating perfectly in alignment with the source of the soul. There is nothing to master over. For divine understanding is relative and perfect as well.

The new book of the soul will be as coming home at last to the one you love most dear. You are at calm peace. You are confident and serene. You can not “slide” from this place or go back to where you thought you were. It is now and now IS.

The possibilities are endless and limitless. The human form has changed for those who have crossed over to the new book of the soul. We can now share this with you: the new book of the soul is like Atlantis in very small ways. The new book of the soul is how you say, heaven on earth. There is no death. There is no fear. There is only love. From now is now. Watch and know as you connect rapidly with those of your kind, with those crystal beings who were born unto you, with those who have traveled similar paths to come to be at one in what we call heaven on your earth.
It is not with some sadness you might feel regret and some aspects of grief upon leaving the earth you long knew. But how quickly love envelopes you, welcoming you into what you have longed for and prayed for and imagined.

You will find it fun and surprising at first how easily life becomes your hearts desires. It is exactly as if “no” is not uttered you. You become one with all and they feel their divine source through you and so pay service to their own self by serving you and those with whom you connect and who connect with you.

And so a family unlike the separateness you once knew grows in joy and thrives.

This is where your story begins.

This is where we will share the joy of being you.

Happiness Joy Love and Laughter to you!

And what, you may ask , does Earth day  have to do with the law of attraction?

Well…..

a. How absolutely perfect that this is coming to you on this Earth Day, April 22nd 2010.! and

b. what a great way to give our point of attention and focus to the solution of something significant and beautiful

It has to do about coming together, in a world-wide collective way to focus our attention on the solution to something….

• to giving our attention to appreciating Mother Earth and all its occupants….
• to appreciating that all living things are here for a reason and deserve to live in peace and harmony and, importantly…
• to allowing all to live as they choose regardless of your perception of it, because, from higher states of awareness there is only perfection in life at all places, all times and all levels of awareness.

This is the art of allowing. This is the art of giving your powerful point of attraction and attention to appreciating the wonder and beauty of this planet and all of its inhabitants.

Join today in this awareness. This is a powerful and deliberate way to co-create with your fellow human beings!

So, we want to share with you an Earth Day video, a moving and beautiful documentary film with you.. a film about people in this world who care to heal this world and restore the planet to its natural state of being and harmony with all living things.

On to the movie….

The Movie is titled For The Next 7 Generations. Here’s a little bit about it:

Synopsis:

In 2004, thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers from all four corners, moved by their concern for our planet, came together at a historic gathering, where they decided to form an alliance: The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. This is their story. Four years in-the-making and shot on location in the Amazon rainforest, the mountains of Mexico, North America, and at a private meeting with the Dalai Lama in India, For the Next 7 Generations follows what happens when these wise women unite. Facing a world in crisis, they share with us their visions of healing and a call for change now, before it’s too late. This film documents their unparalleled journey and timely perspectives on a timeless wisdom.

Grandmother’s Mission Statement:

“We, the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light the way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children.”

Please view the beautifully moving trailer below. After that, visit their website and purchase the movie if you’d like.

Again, we encourage you on this Earth Day 2010 to support these filmmakers and the indigenous Grandmothers involved. Visit their website. Buy the film. Appreciate the message. Join in their conscious efforts. You don’t have to join any group or make any grand statements either. You can simply be the person you care to be.

Talk about inspirational movies and educational movies….here is one!

For Law of Attraction techniques I refer to my own experiences and my observations of Forrest Gump….they seem to have a thread in common…

My experience has been that law of attraction and manifestations occur quickly and effortlessly when the following conditions exist:

• I am sincerely appreciating something (whatever it is)
• I have a lightness in my heart and am purely genuine about my feelings for this thing, experience, interaction, etc…
• I have no intention of receiving, experiencing… whatever it is I am appreciating about this thing
• I forget about it and have no expectations one way or the other about this subject
• I am happy, having fun, living life, and present in the moment (for the most part of many days)
• It shows up in magnificent ways I could have never imagined! (for a law of attraction confidence booster see my recent post about Pink!)

Now take a look at Forrest Gump. What do you remember about him? I remember him being:

1. Unconditionally loving (for the most part)
2. So appreciative of others in his life and only caring about being there for friends and family
3. Doing something out of the pure joy and satisfaction of doing something and having magnificent things manifest around him and in his experience like:

• running across country and all the hoopla surrounding that innocent endeavor
• playing championship ping pong
• meeting the President
• starting a successful shrimping company (with Major Dan and if I’m not mistaken he did so to fulfill the dream he and Bubba, who died in war, decided to do )
• assisting Lt. Dan in significant and moving ways…
• not to mention the unconditional love he held for and demonstrated to his “girlfriend”  Jenny in this movie

Forrest Gump was absolutely pure of heart, and if he felt he weren’t being that he would say so and recognize it. He never appeared to want for anything, yet it came to him with “Ease and Grace”.

Here’s what we can take from Forrest Gump, and this is not anything new…though we all appear to need to hear it again and again until it sinks in….until we get it….until the “vibration” of this ease and knowing is a part of our energetic make-up.

You can continue to want things and call forth things you wish to be, and have, and experience in your life. The path to effortless manifestation points in the direction of “Letting Go and Letting God”, or simply appreciating everything you want to have in your life experience.

Here’s a little exercise:

Think of something you really want in your life. Sit with it for a moment. How does it feel to want it?…really pay attention to this.

Now, keep that same thing in mind and simply appreciate that it exists. Sit with this for a moment. How does that feel? If you are sensitive, you may feel that this is much easier to do and is much more natural. The allowing of appreciation is easy.

When you want something, resistance and ego can get in the way. That’s why the feeling is not as flowing as the feeling of appreciation. Give it a try! Notice what happens when something you were appreciating shows up in some way. Consider what brought it to you and how it came about.

So, we have a beautiful journal we sell on our Seeds of Intentions website. It is perfect for today’s topic and says it all! Click here to view all of our unique inspirational gifts,  meaningful gifts, and thoughtful gifts you will be remembered for.
