Beyond the Vision Board Welcome to 2021. Have you broken your resolutions yet? Most resolutions are doomed to fail because they make us beat up on ourselves about what we have and don’t want – like 20 extra lbs, or a smoking or spending habit. But there’s a fun system that helps you achieve your goals that will make you feel good in the process. Create a vision for your future to live into with a vision board filled with what you want to experience in the coming months, along with some powerful affirmations that match your version of your perfect year. It’s easy and fun to make a vision board – they basically consist of words and pictures that inspire you, cut from a magazine and glued to a poster board. If you’ve seen The Secret you may remember when John Assaraf pulls a vision board he’d created years before from a moving box, and discovers it depicts the house he’d just moved into exactly. Such is the power of vision boards! How do they work their magic? We get what we focus on the most. Vision boards help you focus on what you WANT, instead of what you already have and don’t like. There are no limits to what you can create. I have several – one depicts an overall vision of the happy life I intend to continue creating, while others address specific aspects of it. I call mine Gratitude Boards, which shifts the feeling from “I want it” to “Got it, Thank You!” There’s no higher vibration than that of love and gratitude, so I definitely want it linked to my future creations. But why stop at a board? There are many benefits to a portable gratitude board book – one you make with a binder filled with self-sticking pages from a photo album. Not only does this keep your goals private, you’ll be able to take your gratitude boards anywhere, even to the office or on trips. This is quite an advantage, as studies show the more often you look at them, the quicker you will manifest all the things on it! Another advantage to this approach is you can target a specific area of your life for each sheet; abundant health, wealth, relationships, personal development – anything important to you. Whatever you put on your vision board, remember to take time each day to focus on it and imagine having all the things on it in your life now. Then, as they start manifesting in your life – and they will – celebrate those wins to pave the way for more to come! Try it and see! Mentally create the story of your life the way you want it to unfold, make a vision board or book that helps you keep these desires in the foreground of your mind, and watch your dreams transform into reality, and 2021 the best year of your life.
Have you ever noticed how good kids are at getting what they want? They’re living proof that manifesting your desires can be as easy as child’s play! If you aren’t getting the results you want in life you may be getting in your own way, and making things much harder than they need to be! This list help you keep things sweet and simple, and easy!
10 Top Manifesting Tips
1. Know your power! You are the thinker of the thoughts – if you don’t control them, they will control you. If the thought doesn’t feel good, tweak it till it does! 2. Appreciation is the highest vibration. Start your day with gratitude, listing 3 to 5 things to appreciate to set your tone for the day
3. Strive to stay healthy so you have the energy to create your desires! Proper diet and sleep still count! 4. You get a reset button when you go to sleep each night so mornings are incredibly sacred. Use this time to do affirmations, visualizations & gratitude lists! 5. Pre-alignment is the most important thing you can possibly invest in. Abraham calls this Pre-paving – essentially imagining it already happened exactly the way you want! 6. What you pre-intend, for better or worse, you create. Why not pretend what you want! 7. It’s not your occasional thoughts that build your life. It’s your dominant focus, so strive to be aware of your thoughts and think good ones as much as possible! 8. Creating and living a life is way more important than watching others live theirs, whether on tv or social media. 9. Take the time to create rituals that support you in who you want to become! 10. Don’t worry about your negative thoughts, we all have them, just try to stay positive at least 51% of the time!
Put these 10 items into practice and soon you will see your desires manifest before your eyes!
Visualization is the art of using your imagination to create a life situation you truly desire, by conjuring a clear image and focusing on it till it manifests. Elite athletes use visualization in their training to boost performance. Russian scientists conducted a study comparing four groups of Olympic athletes. Group one did 100% physical training. Group two did 75% physical and 25% visualization. Group three was 50-50. Group four was 25% physical and 75% visualization. Who do you think performed the best? Group four! But it doesn’t stop there! The uses of visualization are virtually limitless! We all use our imagination daily, but unfortunately most people use it their detriment, creating problems by conjuring worst-case scenarios they unknowingly project it into their future. Fortunately, you can use it deliberately to create what you really want in life, including health, wealth, and love. Every creation, from a sandwich to a musical masterpiece, begins as thought. An idea creates an image of the form, which draws physical energy to itself, allowing it to manifest into the physical plane. To use this power to create your ideal life, follow these simple steps:
Decide what you really want. This visualization is your blueprint, so feel into each aspect to ensure you’re creating what you truly want. Write it down, including lots of rich detail.
Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed for 5 – 10 minutes, then imagine your life as you’d like it be. Pretend whatever you want is now yours!
Focus on your goal, using all of your senses to vividly imagine the situation unfolding just as you want it to – feel the feelings. Live it in the privacy of your mind with as much belief and gratitude as you can muster.
Then watch the magic as you see and hear evidence of these thoughts becoming things over the coming days. The key to visualizing is to make it as realistic as if you’re living it now. Don’t worry about how it could come about, just focus on what you want as if you’ve already achieved or acquired it. Thinking thoughts that fill you with passionate, positive emotions while visualizing will draw it quicker. The focused thought will cause the circumstances of your life to rearrange to produce more of that elated emotion in your life. For best results visualize daily, perhaps closing by saying, “this, or something even better, manifests for my highest good,” leaving the Universe free to provide something even better than what your conscious mind can come up with. You can amp up your belief factor by taking some actions to make these visions for your future feel real. Visit a show home, test drive that car, or make a vision board of things you’ll enjoy while living your dream life. Visualize as vividly as you can — see it from the end. Imagine yourself already there and before long, you will be.

We are 70% water, so small wonder it has such an impact on us. But why just drink water when you can drink Power Water!
Masaru Emoto, featured in ‘What the Bleep do we know?’ is a Japanese author best known for his claims that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water. After years of research, Emoto concluded that high-quality water forms beautiful and intricate frozen crystals, while low-quality water has difficulty forming crystals. Emoto demonstrated that positive changes to water crystals can be achieved through prayer, music, or by attaching written words to a container of water. The beautiful image to your left is a water crystal from a container that had the word ‘Love’ on it. In his experiments, water with words like ‘I hate you’ on it had distorted, ugly images. Why not put his research to work for you?
Follow these simple steps to get the most from your water:
Fill a 2 liter glass jug with the highest quality water you have access to
Tape the words ‘Love’ or ‘Joy’ to the container
Hold the jug and project thoughts of love and gratitude to it
If you know Reiki or other energy work, send that energy to the water
Select a special glass to designate as your personal water glass – crystal preferably
place crystal bracelets around the glass (or around a plastic water bottle)
Use what ever crystals resonate with you, but if you’re using a plastic water bottle, be sure to include an Amethyst bracelet to purify the water of any toxins from the plastic.
Every time you drink, say ‘thank you for this water’ With this practice, you will continue to reap the benefits of gratitude as well as the myriad benefits of drinking more water – and, depending on the crystals you choose, you’ll be infusing the water with those qualities as well.
I find that adding a bit of ceremony to something I normally would take for granted encourages me to drink more, and feel special doing it! Try it, and it’ll do the same for you! Let me know how you make out! Love & Light, Alexandria
Affirmations are the best stress relief activities!
Affirmations are very powerful tools for bringing about the kind of life you want. They also are best stress relief activities. However, they have an evil twin – what I call the dark side of affirmations. Basically, affirmations are thoughts you choose to think because you want the results they’ll produce. Created correctly, using positive, powerful words in the present tense repeated often, they produce the effects you want by convincing your subconscious mind the conditions they describe are in fact real. For example, let’s say you’re stressed about money. You need financial stress relief activities. You know everything begins as a thought, you want to create more wealth in your life, so a positive affirmation would be, “Money now flows to me freely from all directions,” or “I am now rich beyond my wildest dreams,” or “I am wealth. I am abundance. I am prosperity.” (more…)
