“True knowing is synonymous with behavior. The things you know are true you just do. If you were asked to scratch your nose, you wouldn’t say “eh I think I can do it” you would just scratch your nose. The things you know are true you just do.

Action and knowing are synonymous

So if your behavior doesn’t exhibit it then that means you don’t quite know it yet. So keep digging.” Think about the scene at the end of when Harry met Sally where’s he running down the street to tell Sally how he feels – his knowing propelled him into action. Now think about something in your life you can’t get going on, can’t seem to get right or find. Let’s say your wanting to find your dream home.

 So what are all the things you need to “know” to align to propel into action. Maybe You need to know where/when your next house will come in? What kind of house do you want? How much you can spend? You need to know the right house is out there and ready? Maybe you don’t want to move now? Once all of these align you will know and begin to take action. Maybe your waiting for your divine love. What don’t you know yet about yourself or this person? Do you know this person is out there? Do you know what specifically you want? Same thing with finding and creating your ideal job. Ask yourself what do I not know about what I want to do day to day- am I afraid? Am I being clear about I want to do for work? Do I want to switch careers? Am I being honest with what I want? If I could have what I want, what would that look like?

You see sometimes we aren’t clear actually what we want, we aren’t specific enough because we don’t know. Once you deeply and authentically know nothing can stop you from taking action.

Think about a time you just knew something and took immediate action- your Harry running down the street moment. You moved towards it immediately didn’t you. Why? Because you had absolutely no doubts, no lack of clarity, no more questions- so you were able to take action. If your not acting look at what you don’t know and dig with some questions.

Knowing is synonymous with action.

In legends told throughout the Far East, central Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, horses were considered mediums between the Spirit and Material Worlds. Certain Celtic tribes used a white mare as an oracle. Arabic tales exalted the horse’s sixth sense. Horses were also perceived as carrying riders between the seen and unseen realms or leading people to some form of lost knowledge. Modern Yakut shamans wouldn’t dream of visiting the Other world without the aid of their horses.

Shamanism may be thought of as a system of knowledge and a process of seeing with the heart for the purpose of accessing spiritual guidance. It bridges the visible and invisible worlds as well as the human and animals realms with a special knowledge of healing. Shamans align themselves with the spirits of the animals. A kind of collective consciousness binds them together with the animal kingdom. So intimate was the sharing of the mind with the animals, that shamans believed it possible to actually become an animal. The animal with which the shaman identified himself was a powerful spirit guide throughout their life.

Some of the greatest teachers we can have are animal spirit helpers. They teach us about the animal world and their special perceptions and awareness of life, which can open up new dimensions for us. They reflect things about us in a unique way. They communicate to humans through dreams, visions and the shamanic journey. Your personal Power animals can be retrieved so that you begin to develop that special relationship with them in your daily life.

Horses are our spirit guides in this journey to discover our inner selves. Horses encourage us to ‘be in the moment’. The size of such an animal alone inspires a heightened state of awareness. When we engage with the horse with no agenda but to enter into the circle of life and just ‘be’, we enter a gateway that brings us more fully into the present moment and moves us into alignment with life. We place ourselves in the sacred realm of the natural world, open the way for experience, reflections and dialogue and then stand aside and allow the process to happen

Think about a time you received a heartfelt card from someone.
You could tell they took time picking out the card and sat and wrote something meaningful.
Remember how much that touched your heart.
We’ll now it’s time to do the same for yourself.
Write a heartfelt letter of gratitude, appreciation and love to yourself about yourself.
Take sometime, put some conscious and generous thoughts and feelings into it and allow yourself
to boldly express your love for yourself.
Color, draw, really create the letter you have always wanted to receive.

1. What do I want?
In a deeply authentic way, Not a complaining about anything and everything way- but getting Specific about what you want. Try to steer away from superficial wants, (although these superficial wants will sometimes will be our starting points and that is ok). Sometimes to help you start this you can get clear on what you don’t want.

PM: Jackie, when you think about creating a plan for your life, I want you to first answer a simple question: What do you want?
Jackie: I want to be financially successful
PM: and what do you have to do to become financially successful?
Jackie: I have no clue
PM: that’s ok- start with the things you can do to move toward that goal
Jackie: I’d have to start by having a great job
PM: So if you had a great job and became financially successful how would you feel?
Jackie: as if I accomplished something
PM: so what you really want is a sense of accomplishment… What would it take for you To feel that?
Jackie: well it would have to be difficult, I mean nothing you want in life is Easy right
PM: so you’d have to face some challenges?
Jackie: right
PM: and if you had faced those challenges and accomplished a few goals, how would you Feel then?
Jackie: I couldn’t just stop there. I’d think there’s got to be something beyond this, there’s Got to be more.
PM: so what you really want is to feel your on the move in your life. What would You have to do to feel that?
Jackie: I’d have to stop denying that I’m stuck
PM: how are you going to feel when there’s no more denial in your life?
Jackie: fulfilled and proud of myself
PM: and will you feel when you can say honestly I’ve got a step by step plan- no more denial?
Jackie: on top of the world
PM: and what exactly does that mean?
Jackie: free.
PM: so what you really want is to be free- free of being bogged down, free of denial?
Jackie: yes
PM: Jackie you have said “I want to be proud, I want to be fulfilled, I want to be free”. What Will you have to do so that you feel that way?
Jackie: I’ll have to be disciplined and be open to challenge of change.
PM: Very good. If you started living your life in a disciplined way, instead of in a “if it feels good,
do it” sort of way, and if you opened yourself up to challenge instead of running from it, how would you feel?
Jackie: I’d feel like I have a place in the world-and I won’t always be wishing that I were somebody else.
PM: So what you really want is to accept yourself for who you are and feel like you belong
somewhere in this world?
Jackie: yes
PM: what a great goal that is!

By identifying what we want our frequency/ vibration will then manifest all that is necessary to fulfill that want. Because the clarity of the want allows all of your energy to flow into one stream of focus. When you identify what you want your energy becomes a large fast moving river, rather than little streams of desires and inaccurate wants.

So for the next couple of weeks focus on what you want, with your meditations, by asking these 4 questions, opening up a dialogue with friends, start talking and thinking and working with what you want. Once you know what you want put your order into the universe and open those arms to receive.

Correcting your course as you move through life is powerful, useful, and will keep you growing. Many people resist course correction because they are in their earth timing, and expectations, “he needs to be here by July because this is all I’m focusing on” or “I need to have this job and this car by the time I am 40″, ” I need to be this weight, make this paycheck, live in this house, have this love life, then I will be happy”. Our tight hold on earth timing and earth “results” sometimes shows resistance to course correction. Our mental minds so tightly hang on to earth time and how things will play out. It is kind of funny how much we grasp at seconds and our expectations and try to hold down dates and outcomes, its like putting a pole through a tsunami to hold it in place. It’s just not gonna happen.

Picture a fast moving river, one that you white water raft in,  now picture the water resisting flowing around a rock ” well we’ve always flowed to the left and now this big rock is in the way and were just going to stop moving all together until we can go back left or until we’ve had some time to think about this more.” Can you imagine what rivers and oceans would look like if the water wasn’t in complete surrender, allowing course corrections constantly, we would have mountains of water, no tide to carry our boats.

When you realize something’s not working for you, it feels off, something hasn’t manifested yet, or your not having fun; learn from it, be willing to change, be willing to honestly look at why it hasn’t manifested … adjust, and try to allow yourself to surrender with the flow of life to head in a new direction. That’s the cool thing about divine surrender, you let the powerful current pull you away from swimming upstream, into a flow that has no struggle.

Very often we get stuck on a certain life lesson, or perhaps you feel like you’re making significant progress but not really headed in the direction of your highest and best life purpose. This is when the Universe tends to align a course correction on your path.

 ” I have been afraid for years to go home because I only wanted to go back once I made it big as an actor, my career didn’t take off, and after years of fighting it, I am excitedly moving back home not caring what anyone says.”

” I only have wanted to focus on romantic love and now my highest sense of self is asking me to focus on connecting with it more. Love isn’t manifesting now, so reluctantly I need to focus on this piece with my soul first. I’m not excited totally about this course correction, but it is the experience I chose.”

” but I’ve lived here for 45 years, I hate where I live but I can’t afford to move, but I have been evicted due to the new freeway.”

Self imposed course corrections are much more fun and gentle than ones triggered Universally.
Have you ever felt that out of nowhere everything in your life came crashing down around you? Or maybe you’ve experienced like a hundred things in your life falling apart and falling away all at once? Or everything has come to a halt, forcing you to address one thing?

If you have, you’ve likely experienced a universal intervention to trigger course correction. Let me give you a hint, the Universe whispers repeatedly to course correct, so when the crashing comes, I bet you already knew it was a coming.

This type of course correction can be harsh, it may feel unjust, sudden, and may seem like a severe punishment. But if you can remember to step back, breathe, change your bubble and go with the divine river  flow, you may be able to see that the Universe is actually conspiring with you to create positive change, to get you back on track, to course correct you to the highest vibrational path.

Be willing to change, to change your expectations, your timing, and your course correction will be much less painful.

The lesson here is to pay attention, listen to the heart of your highest sense of self and to your intuition, and be willing to change.

Correct your course as you learn and grow, as you gather more information, and take the time to get out of the chaos of the mind of earth time, and into your heart to figure out what is really important for you to experience here at earth university. To experience What truly brings you authentic joy.
Ask your guides and angels for help aligning you with what will most serve you, ask the universe for support during these course corrections. Then stay open, observant and aware, and be willing to go with the flow.

Learn, grow, adapt, correct your course, and keep adjusting as you move forward and have fun! This is earth Ivy League after all, your already the best of the best, so don’t sweat these changes, just simply course correct.

2015 is going to move fast, allowing course corrections will help you tremendously this year to evolve and manifest all you desire with joy and ease!
