In an effort to inspire a community of 1300 people who are taking my current class, Instant Manifestation Now, I am documenting my personal intentions and delegations each day. Intentions are the feeling or experience I want to have in my life. I like to write them in this way: I intend to feel energized today. I intend to be present to my children. I intend to be at play. I intend to be loving. Delegations are the specific measurable results I want to achieve. I am clear that I can only set the conditions for my results to occur.…

For the next seven days I’m writing my intentions and delegations publicly on my blog as a commitment to my students. Why Write Your Intentions & Delegations? I write my intentions and delegations every day to keep my mind focused on the results that I’m committed to.  Some days I write my big giant results.  Other days I focus on incremental results that I’d like to see that day.  Some days I repeat what I wrote the day before.  Most days I write something new.  I don’t like writing the same thing over and over because it agitates my mind…

I’m teaching a class to 1300 people called Instant Manifestation Now.  The purpose of the class is to manifest your wildest dreams.  In the class I ask my participants to write intentions and delegations every day to help clarify goals and dreams. First I ask people to dream big.  What would be something so amazing and life-altering that when it manifests life is never the same again? From there we figure out how it would feel and what the experience would be once it was complete.  I call this your true intention.  In the end you want to feel and…

Here’s an email from a self-proclaimed cynic currently participating in my free 8-week class. Subject: A Cynic So I signed up for the manifestation class that started on Monday – I thought of every excuse in the book and then some more – there had to be something more important or worthy of my time. Guilt won over and I got on the call. My daughter came in and out of the room several times complete with snide comments. But, I persevered. Then the blue butterfly – come on – seriously? My husband chimed in that he had already seen…

The Law of Attraction is always delivering on your intentions. My workout partner and I like to do spinning class on Tuesday mornings.  Yesterday, he showed up 5 minutes before the class started and all the bikes were taken.  Clearly he was not dead set on doing the class.  His unstated intention was fulfilled. Within five minutes of the class beginning I realize that I mismanaged my schedule for the day and I will not be able to complete the entire 55 minutes.  After visualizing my schedule for a few minutes I realize I must get off the bike at…

Why is it that most spiritual types think that you have to dress down, not look good or not fit into society to be spiritual? When the truth is that to be conscious, compassionate, understanding or appreciative has nothing to do with how you look, who you hang out with, or what stuff you own. Personally, I find it very exciting to fit into society without any attachment.  I like to look great, have stuff, participate fully, and then bring that appreciation, kindness, compassion, and understanding into my life in such a way that all those around me, who are…

There is no world out there. Not at least the world you experience.  Yes, there is something out there, but what you are experiencing isn’t it.  What you are experiencing is your opinion, your perception, and your conditioning.  How you relate to the world is what the world is for you.  Two people can be in the exact same situation and have completely different experiences. Are there atoms, electrons and such out there in the world? Apparently, science is getting a better grasp on that.  But it takes multimillion dollar machines to see what is really going on in the…

The promise of a spiritual perspective is that you will feel more connected, more loved, more joyous, and feel a sense of oneness.  Yet, many spiritual people DO NOT have an abundance of these experiences.  In fact, most of the spiritual people I meet have pretty sucky lives.  And guess what, I’ve been there too.  Here’s why. There is a myth perpetuated by the misunderstanding of ancient spiritual text that you must withdraw from life in order to be spiritual.  The whole, “Poverty is more spiritual” things is a total misperception. Adopting a more spiritual perspective simply means that you…

Sometimes you have to take a stand for what you believe in. Sometimes the entire structure of your life is fighting against your deepest desire. These moments of extreme resistance, breakdown and depression are actually transition points from one type of living to the next. New life come with a hefty price. It is destructive. Your old life will fight back, push you down and tell you that you can’t have what you want. In those moments you must learn to tame The Drunk Monkey and take a stand for what you believe is possible. It’s not easy, it’s not…

Most think that if I am truly being free, then I can do what ever I want.  Nope!  That is being a slave to your wants.  Your wants are almost always a reaction to something from the past.  Your wants are usually about NOT being something, NOT doing something or NOT being dominated by something. True freedom comes out of discipline.  The discipline of observing The Drunk Monkey (your mind) and not allowing its fear to run your life.  The discipline of seeing The Drunk Monkey for what it really is.  These two disciplines give you the freedom to choose…
