Wayne Dyer’s new book ‘Wishes Fulfilled‘

February 11, 2012 by  
Filed under latest news & views, mindset, read, work

Wayne Dyer’s new book ‘Wishes Fulfilled’ is about to hit the stores, providing advice and guidance on how to tap into your manifesting powers and create the life you really want to live.

You can pre-order the book from  Amazon, Barnes & Noble and publisher Hay House.  To give you a sneak peak, some excerpts have been released, which I share with you here.

Changing your concept of yourself

“Health, wealth, beauty, and genius are not created; they are only manifested by the arrangement of your mind—that is, by your concept of yourself, and your concept of yourself is all that you accept and consent to as true.” Neville

There’s a level of awareness available to you that you are probably unfamiliar with. It extends upward and transcends the ordinary level of consciousness that you’re most accustomed to. At this higher plane of existence, which you and every human being who has ever lived can access at will, the fulfillment of wishes is not only probable—it is guaranteed.

After 18 months in relative seclusion, studying, meditating, and literally experiencing what it’s like to live in this miraculous plane of existence beyond anything that might be labeled “ordinary” or “normal,” I’ve undertaken this joyous task of writing about having wishes fulfilled. I’ve seen firsthand how virtually every wish or desire I’ve placed my attention on has transformed from a mental thought into an objective fact.

However, I’m not proposing memorizing an esoteric formula leading to a theoretical nirvana. My emphasis throughout this book is that manifestation is real and that it occurs when you make a specific decision to change your mind about who you are and what is possible for you to achieve within these parentheses in eternity called your life.

I’m inviting you to be receptive to a radical new idea about yourself. It’s radical because ever since you left your mother’s womb, you’ve been subjected to cultural conditioning designed to help you be content with living a “normal life” at the level of ordinary consciousness, which generally means accepting whatever life hands you. In many ways you’ve been programmed to believe that you do not possess the wisdom or ability to manifest the fulfillment of your wishes and desires.

I am saying as clearly as I know how to say it in these opening pages: There’s a plane of awareness that you can opt to live at, wherein you can, if you are willing to change your concept of yourself as an ordinary being, find yourself fulfilling any and all wishes that you have for yourself. Throughout this book I’ll explore with you what I’ve studied, learned, internalized, practiced, and, yes, lived regarding the powers of manifestation. It begins with changing your concept of yourself.

I would like to offer a few words on these two concepts of ordinary and extraordinary.

Ordinary is, well, so ordinary. It means that you do all of the things that your culture and your family have programmed you to do. It implies that you fit in, study hard, follow the rules, take care of your obligations, fill out the forms, pay your taxes, get a job, and do what every law-abiding citizen does; and then you retire, play with your grandchildren, and ultimately die. I want to emphasize that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this scenario—it is perfectly fine—but if it were completely acceptable for you, you wouldn’t be reading this book.

Extraordinary encompasses most of ordinary, since we all live in the same physical world. There will be forms to fill out, rules that demand our obedience, bills to pay, and family obligations to attend to. But extraordinary consciousness is associated with your soul, that invisible, boundaryless energy that looks out from behind your eyeballs and has very different interests than your ordinary self does.

The ideal of your soul, the thing that it yearns for, is not more knowledge. It is not interested in comparison, nor winning, nor light, nor ownership, nor even happiness. The ideal of your soul is space, expansion, and immensity, and the one thing it needs more than anything else is to be free to expand, to reach out and to embrace the infinite. Why? Because your soul is infinity itself. It has no restrictions or limitations—it resists being fenced in—and when you attempt to contain it with rules and obligations, it is miserable.

Your invisible self is extraordinary because it is a fragment of the universal soul, which is infinite. The part of you that knows you have greatness, and is stirred by the idea of you expanding and removing any and all limitations, is what I am addressing in Wishes Fulfilled. This is your new self-concept, one that is inspired by your soul.

Using your imagination

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” – Albert Einstein

While walking down a crowded street in London many years ago, I noticed a window display devoted to the English poet William Blake. There was a quotation on a sign in the window that I read over and over. The words seemed to touch my soul, and I was prompted by an internal calling to write those words on the back of an envelope. Blake’s 200-year-old words resonated strongly with me. I had a curious knowing that I’d one day be writing about what he’d had to say.

Fast-forward some ten years later to the day I began writing this chapter about that most mysterious function of our human lives—our imagination. During the morning before settling in to write, I was searching for some tax records in a desk drawer. Unsought, the Blake quote scribbled on the back of an envelope, which had long ago been misplaced, appeared. As I grabbed the ten-year-old envelope, I pondered for a moment how Divine synchronicity is always working, moving the pieces around while our ego believes we are in charge. Here I was, ready to begin writing a chapter on how to use your imagination, and today of all days, these scribbles reappeared after a decade of being “lost.” How could I ignore this synchronicity?

So I share these words with you from my spiritual mentor back in the 18th century:

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a Green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all Ridicule and Deformity… and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the eyes of the Man of Imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.
The greatest gift you were ever given was the gift of your imagination. Within your magical inner realm is the capacity to have all of your wishes fulfilled. Here in your imagination lies the greatest power you will ever know. It is your domain for creating the life that you desire, and the best part of it is that you are the monarch with all of the inherent powers to rule your world as you desire.

The essence of this great gift is found within another observation made by William Blake, the intuitive poet who lived at the time of the American Revolution. Writing in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, he made this wry comment that is the great secret for living a life of creative manifestation: “What is now proved was once only imagin’d.” Allow yourself to contemplate this. As this one line of great wisdom sinks into your consciousness, your imagination will then begin to take over.

Look around you. Everything that you can experience with your senses was once in someone’s imagination. This is the great truth that you must come to realize for yourself. In order for something to get into this world where things exist and are proved, as Blake says, they must first be placed firmly into your imagination. Without your imagination as the reason for future creations, the process of creativity is halted. You have this great power within you. It is a power that is virtually unlimited, and it has been given to you as your birthright.

Before putting this gift to work, it is crucial for you to know that virtually all spiritual teachings have spoken of the power that Blake comments on in that insightful sentence, “What is now proved was once only imagin’d.” In the year that I spent researching and living the Tao for my book Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life, this truth jumped out at me in the lines of the 40th verse of the Tao Te Ching. “Being is born of nonbeing” was Lao-tzu’s observation 2,500 years ago. The visible world of being originates in nonbeing. Some 500 years later Jesus would tell his followers, “It is the Spirit who gives life” (John 6:63). I could go on through all of the great spiritual traditions and offer you quote upon quote that states that it is in the invisible formless realm that the originating spark of life begins.

Today, the world of quantum physics confirms that the universe is made of formless (spirit) energy, and that particles (that is, things) do not originate from particles (things). Everything springs from something that is akin to your imagination. You can’t touch, taste, see, hear, or smell it. It has no boundaries. You can’t prove it with mathematical formulas or scientific verification. Yet we all know that it exists. These invisible thoughts that you have—these ideas that continue to percolate within you, these fanciful images that are always with you—are beyond the scope of science to prove or disprove.

I love this observation made by Max Planck, the father of quantum theory: “Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and, therefore, part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.” You simply know that you have an imagination, and that this imagination is the Source of all being. It is up to you to channel and use this magnificent endowment to work in the creation of all that you choose to place in that imagination.

The Power of Your Imagination

Figuratively tattoo these words of Neville onto your forehead. In other words, memorize them, and repeat them to yourself every time you look into the mirror:

Disregard appearances, conditions, in fact all evidence of your senses that deny the fulfillment of your desire. Rest in the assumption that you are already what you want to be, for in that determined assumption you and your Infinite Being are merged in creative unity, and with your Infinite Being (God) all things are possible. God never fails.

Your concept of yourself is being replaced by a new concept of yourself.

A new self-concept begins with you placing it in your imagination and living from this new perspective. You can count on your five senses to attempt to convince you that you should pay homage only to them and treat your imagination as unimportant and illusory. But that doesn’t mean that you have to allow them to usurp your new concept of yourself.

Right now, in this moment, you can practice this. Say aloud or to yourself, By placing new I ams into my imagination, my future dream is a present fact. Repeat the statement a few times. Can you feel your ego resisting? Which of your five senses is most adamantly annoyed? Notice and repeat. This new concept of yourself as God, or at least as a spark of God, asks you to think like God, Who “calls those things which do not exist as though they did.”

Here, you are creating an ideal of what you want to be and assuming that you already are that person. This is what Neville calls the Law of Assumption, and he states emphatically, “If this assumption is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is inevitable.”

Remind yourself that your imagination is yours to use as you decide, and that everything you wish to manifest into your physical world must first be placed firmly in your imagination in order to grow. Let Neville’s words guide you:
Therefore, to incarnate a new and greater value of yourself, you must assume that you already are what you want to be and then live by faith in this assumption—which is not yet incarnate in the body of your life—in confidence that this new value or state of consciousness will become incarnated through your absolute fidelity to the assumption that you are that which you desire to be.
This is a total transformation of your entire being.

Within your imagination, you can conceive thoughts of what you want as already here—prior to their birth in form in the sensory world. This means that your thoughts aren’t along the lines of: I will be. I hope it works out. I’m praying for good results. Instead, you say to yourself: I am—acknowledging the I am presence as God dwelling in me. Then your mind as that I am presence will become the dominant creative feature in your life. This generative force will gently assert its authentic creativity and power as you conceive it, and in the process replace a dependency on your physical and intellectual abilities. Your renewed reality does not rely exclusively on those five senses that keep you attached to the false beliefs that you are your body or its possessions, achievements, and reputation.

You’ve already discovered that the different bodies you’ve occupied throughout your life so far no longer exist for your senses to experience. Now you can choose to consciously participate in this nonsensory supreme reality—your imagination—where you assume your future dream to be a present fact and live from this new awareness. This isn’t pretending or fooling yourself, it is inviting your spirit rather than your physical form to generate the creative essence of your reality. It’s what it means to transform your life.

The word transformation has the word form right smack in the middle, preceded by trans—meaning going beyond form. Live from the place that will indeed take you way beyond the limits of your seemingly limited life. Explore imagination, which is the Source of all being or physical reality.

Throughout my life I’ve often been called excessively persistent and even obsessive in going after what I wish to fulfill. The truth is that I have within me a very powerful knowing that when I place something into my imagination, it is already a fact for me. I just don’t seem to have the capacity to erase from my mind what it is that is already my reality. For instance, earlier in my life when I applied to a doctoral program, I already saw myself with a doctorate, although I hadn’t taken even one course toward that degree. When I was told that nine out of ten doctoral students do not receive their degree because they cannot complete the vigorous requirements of writing a dissertation, I knew that this did not apply to me, because I was already a doctor in my imagination. I persistently acted as if my dream were a present fact.

I’ve had this same kind of “thinking from the end” in every phase of my professional career. As a young boy I saw myself on television shows and vehemently held this inner picture in my imagination, ignoring a lot of naysayers! And these imaginings ultimately were taken from my mind, where they were real, to the material world, where my senses finally caught up and confirmed them as truths.

The facts are, for me, that a picture in my imagination is already my reality. I live from this perspective, and nothing can dissuade me from this stance because I am not hoping to get someplace else. I am already there. I just don’t know how to erase what I am living in my imagination, even if the whole world attempts to persuade me of the folly of my dreams. This is a mind-set you can choose to embrace.

Let go of all doubt, forget about the when. It will develop into a material fact on Divine time. Forget about the how. Live it inwardly. This is a great power that you possess if you are willing to claim it as your own.

I cannot emphasize strongly enough how vital it is for you to claim this inherent power of God and use it for manifesting the life you desire. Be obstinate regarding this idea. Hold your vision relentlessly, and more than that—live each day as if that idea you have in your imagination is in fact your reality. In The “I AM” Discourses, Saint Germain repeatedly reminds us that we are the master and have dominion in our lives; once this is part of your awareness, you can access the energy, power, and intelligence of the mighty I am presence, which is your very birthright. This I am presence is always with you.

Happy New Chinese Year of the Water Dragon

January 23, 2012 by  
Filed under latest news & views, mindset, see & do, work

Chinese Year of the Black Water DragonChinese New Year was ushered in on 23 January with the first day of the Chinese astrological year beginning on 4 February.

This is the year of the Black Water Dragon and I share with you information and exercises from two respected teachers to help you make the most of this auspicious year.

Five things about dragons you may not know – Roger Hamilton

Gong Xi Fa Cai! We’re now in the Chinese Year of the Water Dragon. Whether you follow the Chinese Zodiac or not, here are 5 things about dragons worth knowing in 2012.

DREAMS TO REALITY - The dragon is the ONLY mythical animal on the chinese zodiac. It is the link between the imaginary world and the real world and has a special place in Chinese culture (In the same way you cannot deface a US flag in America, you cannot deface a dragon image in China).

  • In 2012, what is the one dream you will bring into reality? Pin it up with a dragon image.

THE SYMBOL OF FLOW –  The dragon symbolises the protector of flow, and in Chinese myths is always controlling the waters, floods, seas and rivers. Its three joints represent the trinity of flow (creation, preservation, destruction).

  • In 2012, what will you begin, what will you preserve, and what will you end to stay in flow?

THE POWER OF NINE - The dragon is related to the number 9, the highest single digit number and Chinese symbol of celestial power. The chinese dragon has 81 Yang scales (9×9) and 36 Yin scales (9×4). Nine dragons was the symbol of the Chinese Emperor (and if you have ever been to Hong Kong, ‘Kowloon’ means ‘nine dragons’ in Chinese). The chinese character for ‘nine’ is the same as the word ‘forever’.

  • In 2012, what part of you will you develop – a skill or quality that will lift you higher, and be with you forever?

THE CELESTIAL MESSENGER - The dragon has spread through all cultures, and today are found in everything from Shrek to Harry Potter. The English word comes from the Greek ‘‘drakan” which means ‘water dragon’, derived from ‘drakein’ which means ‘to see more clearly’. Up to modern time, the dragon is seen as carrying a secret or message that it protects and passes to the select few.

  • In 2012, what dragon will you seek out. In what area do you want to ‘see more clearly’?

A SIGN OF THE TIMES - 2012 is the year of the Water Dragon, which only comes around every 60 years. The last Water Dragon year was 1952 (the first year to see a return-flight of a passenger plane across the Atlantic), and before that was 1892 (The year Edison got a patent for a two-way telegraph. It was also the year of the first basketball game).

  • In 2012, what will you invent? What will you create that will leave a legacy?

Where to start with these five questions?

Grab a blank sheet and start with that – a white space of unexplored, virgin territory: the kind that old map makers would leave blank on their maps because no one had been there yet; the spaces on the map where there were no coastlines or land masses; just empty space with the words “Here be dragons.”

Gong Xi Fa Cai. Wishing you a prosperous lunar new year!

Suggested ritual for 2012 – Davina Mackail Year of the Black Water Dragon

Well we’ve made it to 2012 – what a gloriously exciting time to be alive! Yes, really. I know it may not seem like that with all the current doom and gloom. But this truly is the beginning of a transformational epoch in human history.

We are entering a new golden age, a renaissance of human consciousness, an opportunity to raise our game as human beings, to understand our true nature and realise our passion and potential both individually and collectively.

Ushered in with the first new moon in Aquarius accompanied by the Chinese New Year of the Black, Water Dragon. 2012 is also a 5 year. With that line-up transformation is guaranteed.

This is the pivotal year of the new millennium. A time of make or break. To harness the luck of that mythical dragon and increase your personal flow this is a year to go beyond your known boundaries. A year to dream BIG dreams, get inventive, be adventurous, develop the courage of your heart and go for gold! It’s a time for boldness in following the wisdom of your own inner knowing. Truly the time of being your own authority has arrived.

MANIFEST YOUR INTENTIONS

Between now and the full moon on 7 February is a great time to manifest your intentions for the year.

It’s great to set your big goals and dreams in motion. But I’d like you to focus on something else as well. Something far more important to your daily flow of peace and joy and something that is far more likely to help you ultimately achieve your big dreams. That something is “What you LOVE to do”.

It’s extraordinary how often we ignore this even when we think we’re actually doing it. Often we’re so focussed on our big dream we forget our daily happiness.

CONNECT WITH WHAT YOU LOVE

To connect with what you LOVE find a time when you’ll be undisturbed and sit with yourself. Spend a few minutes just relaxing. Take a breath in above your head and exhale below your feet and repeat a few times.

Now, with your non-dominant hand resting on your heart to remind you of where this information is coming from ask yourself “What do I really LOVE?” and keep asking yourself until you can tune in to that energy and get the flow going. Relax and allow time for this exercise.

If you’ve been really out of touch with yourself lately it’ll take a while for you to remember what you really love – not what you think you should love or achieve or have but what you REALLY LOVE deep down in your soul.

To give you an idea, some of the things I truly LOVE in life are walking in the woods; playing my drum; my morning cappuccino especially if my husband goes to get it for me:); afternoons curled up reading a novel; going to the cinema; catching up with good friends; rainbows; hugging trees; dancing by myself; making up silly songs whilst driving; long, indulgent bubble baths…etc etc

Once you unleash your soul they’ll be no stopping you. You’ll also discover that what your soul loves rarely costs much money so this is a gift you can truly afford. Capture all your deep loves in a notebook and promise yourself that 2012 will be the year you give yourself the pleasure of something you truly love every single day.

I wish you all a truly joyful and courageous 2012

With infinite love and blessings from a wood dragon!

Is all this technology really a good thing?

January 21, 2012 by  
Filed under mindset, we like

For those of us with an interest in personal development, there are so many more ways we can now access information. In the past year, most of the well known names launched internet TV stations, or began offering ‘live streaming’ from their workshops. This, combined with telesummits, webinars and online courses; e-books, apps and downloads mean many more people are able to participate and benefit from their messages than ever before.

So whether 2012 heralds the end of the world, or “a new golden era for humanity” you can be sure many more of us will be informed, awake, aware and ready for it!

But is all this technology a good thing? I like to think so, but not everyone’s convinced.

Boring recluses?

If, as I do, you spend a considerable portion of each day on line, surfing for work or for pleasure, it’s likely you come in for a fair amount of flack from non surfer friends who can’t understand the attraction and suggest we are boring recluses with a very sorry social life.

In my experience, nothing could be further from the truth. This week for instance, it was a treat to be invited via Twitter by a former work colleague to an event in my home city.

“Come to #bettakultcha”, said Pete. “To what?” I tweeted back… and a whole new experience opened up.

Passion not pitches

Horrible name, great idea – Bettakultcha features anyone who wants to have a go speaking about their passion, on stage in front of an audience, for five minutes over 15 slides. No selling, no pitches.

So off we went to a place I’d never been before, to meet people I’d never met before, to experience an event I’d never even heard of before this week.

And there you have a summary of all that’s great about new technology.   A group of people, some of whom had met online, were introduced to each other in person and enjoyed an evening’s live entertainment in a local venue we were previously unaware of, all thanks to Twitter (and Pete, of course).

During the evening, we chatted about our work and interests, discovered most of us worked from home online, found we liked each other’s company and vowed to meet up in the future for other occasions – the ‘clandestine cake club’ and ‘secret supper club’ are looking most appealing, though I’ll probably give the knitting a miss!

Musical saws

The bettakultcha presenters were local people with passions as diverse as creating delicious food from local ingredients on a camping stove, extreme photography, volunteering, the London riots, punctuation (a particular favourite of mine!), speed dating and musical saws – yes, musical saws (the single metal blade variety more usually found cutting wood) – you can play them with a bow!

What an interesting, fun evening.

In my experience, our lives are not only impacted by but improved in a myriad of ways through technology. We can choose to be fearful, disdainful or dismissive. Or we can choose to be open to the new people and new experiences it brings our way.

Just say yes

This week’s experience has reminded me to say yes to new opportunities, even if at first glance I’m not entirely sure I’ll enjoy them. Saying ‘yes’ to life, joining in and contributing is surely all part of our personal development?

What do you think? I’d love you to leave me a comment.

(Oh, and whilst we’re on the subject of technology, if you’re in Leeds or anywhere north of England with an interest in personal development, please tweet, facebook, email and tell your friends about Barefoot Doctor in Leeds – talk and workshop 17-18 February – thank you!)

 

Learn from the best – creative workshops with Jamie Catto

Filed under latest news & views, learn, mindset, on film, we like, work

Jamie CattoLots of people offer workshops to help you unlock your creative potential – few of them draw on a career that has touched millions across the globe through music, film and philosophy.

Jamie Catto was a founder member of the multi-million-selling, dance music super group Faithless who went on to create, produce and direct the multi-award winning 1 Giant Leap films and albums.

What About You?

He has now turned his attention to helping you get what’s inside, out, leading ‘What About You?’ workshops from January to July in England, Holland, Thailand, Mallorca and Greece.

So if you want to kickstart a creative project, this is a real chance to learn from a true expert. These two day workshops involve techniques, processes and discussions evolved from Jamie’s 20 years of experience.

What About You? is for you if you’re prepared to “be here, present, vulnerable and authentic”, show up in all your “raw glory” and be willing to “really express what’s going on in the chaos and the shadows”. The workshops will help you:

• Connect yourself fully to your wholeness and reawaken your playful and inspired genius

• Dissolve and release negative beliefs and patterns that have limited you or stood in your way

Jamie explains more about the workshops on his website, where you can also book your place at any of the different locations:

http://jamiecatto.com/

What About Me?

If you’re not familiar with his work, Jamie’s most recent film ‘What About Me?’ is highly recommended. The visionary project took Jamie and fellow film maker Duncan Bridgeman to over 50 locations across five continents, exploring through music the complexities of human nature on a global scale. The film aimed to reveal how we are all connected through our creativity and beliefs – and through our collective insanity.

Covering universal topics such as God, sex, death and money, What About Me? features a diverse range of collaborators from Noam Chomsky to Will Young, Maxi Jazz to Tim Robbins, Michael Stipe to Billy Connolly, Eckhart Tolle to Baaba Maal, among many others – Susan Sarendon, Neale Donald Walsch, Marianne Williamson, KD Laing – the list goes on.

I simply can’t recommend the film highly enough. Find out more here:

New F**k It website & retreats

Fuck It RetreatsF**k It author John Parkin and his wife Gaia Pollini have said F**k it to running their award winning Hill that Breathes retreat centre in Italy and embarked on a new adventure.

The whole F**k It thing began when Gaia and John began teaching F**k It Weeks at The Hill seven years ago, but they’ve now decided they prefer to be spreading the F**k It message around the world than running a retreat centre in just one place.

Whilst The Hill will remain home to the couple and their kids, it’s now closed to visitors and F**K IT RETREATS has been born instead. This will see John and Gaia teaching F**k It weeks, and other great stuff, in amazing venues … on a volcano (yes, you read that right), in a luxury country estate and spa, and more.

The retreats will mainly be held in Italy and the UK for 2012, but there are plans for other venues later.

If you feel like learning or revisiting how to say F**k It (it’s the ultimate spiritual way) with John and Gaia, check out their new website, featuring a cute video of their young boys talking about F**k It (or ‘Fooook It’ as they call it in their Italian accents):

Love Changes Everything

Robert Holden and Nick Davis hold their annual A Course in Miracles (ACIM) workshop, ‘Love Changes Everything’. on Saturday 4 February in London, with online streaming for those unable to attend the live event.

The workshop focuses on 12 aspects of Love that can be expressed in the world, practices which keep us in touch with Source and enhance the awakening of those whose lives we touch.

A Course in Miracles is an inward journey back to who we truly are. Once that journey has been made, a reawakening occurs and the Love that we are now aware of transforms everything we previously saw in the world into a vision of Love. Yet, when we have awakened to Love, which is enlightenment, what on earth are we going to do?

Nick and Robert address this and combine to bring ACIM practices to life with practical teachings on how Love Changes Everything.

The workshop costs £75, with lunch by donation. Online live streaming between 9.45am to 5.00 pm UK time costs £38. For further information and booking details visit:
