To Be Or Not To Be, Visible That Is...
Stepping outside your old limitations and 'out of the box' of
suppression, habits, and old family patterns, you open yourself
to a newer, freer form of expression. This form is more
expansive and begins to let people see more of who you really
are. It gives people a glimpse of the real you that's been
hiding under the compacted energy of fears, restrictions and
limitations. It means you are becoming more visible. What do I mean by 'visible'? It means that your inner Light
begins to eek out from the cracks in your old energy/body armor. "There is a crack, a crack in everything
that's how the light gets in." ~ Leonard Cohen It means you are feeling better about yourself and the joy that
naturally exists deep down in your being is starting to find its
way to the surface in little bits and pieces. And that little
bit of joy and Light can be seen by others. Have you ever been in a room full of people when someone walks in
the door and everyone stops and stares? You notice how everyone
in the room is drawn to this particular person? What about them
is so fascinating, so appealing? What is it that draws everyone
to them? It's their natural radiance of inner Light. You've
heard the phrase, "Oh, she just has this 'aura' about her."
Simply put- it is about the aura. Your aura is the energy body
that exists around your physical body and emanates up to 2 feet
around you at any given moment. When you are more subdued or
suppressed, your energy body shrinks and is tighter to the body.
When you are open, feeling clear and expanded, it reaches out and
can seem to fill the entire room. This aura, or subtle energy body is what other's feel when that
'popular' person enters the room. The energy field of the person
is expanded and is radiating Light. Others 'feel' it on a
sensory level and are immediately drawn to it like a moth to a
flame. It's like being a magnet. When you are radiating your Light and you are 'visible', your
inner self is being seen, heard and validated. You can feel very
connected and 'on', like someone turned a switch on and light
filled the dark room. Unfortunately, if you have lived under limitations, depressed
energy, restrictions and emotional pain, being visible may be the
last thing you want to have happen. It may trigger fear of hurt
and feelings of danger. It can be a radical change from the part of you that has been so
accustomed to hiding. Visibility can trigger feelings of shame,
self consciousness, paranoia and vulnerability. It can feel to
some like they are suddenly under a microscope and everyone is
looking at them. This can be rather uncomfortable and cause a
quick rubber band-like effect of pulling back into your shell and
wanting to hide again. This back and forth, expanding and contracting can be common for
anyone who has lived with fear. It takes getting used to. Being
visible is not something you can easily turn on and off at will.
It's something that can be very unconscious to begin with. You
may not even realize when you're hiding. One clear signal that you may have gone back into hiding is when
you experience a radical change in your receiving. For example,
you've had a period of time where you've been really receiving
good things in your life, business is booming, your phone is
ringing with invitations, you're up for a promotion, etc and
suddenly- out of the blue, everything just stops. It seems like
the river dried up and nothing is flowing. Business dropped off,
the phone stopped ringing, no one is asking for you or looking
for you. It's like everyone forgot you existed. This can be a
clear signal that you went back into hiding. It's as if no one can feel your energy presence because you've
pulled your head back into the turtle shell, so to speak, and you
aren't radiating any more. Your signal isn't being picked up.
Think about a radio station tower. If something happens to the
tower, the station stops transmitting and no one hears it.
Visibility works the same way. It you pull back into your shell,
no one sees you! Let's go back to the example and look at the other side of it-
the period of time when you were really receiving good stuff,
business is booming, you're successful, the money is flowing in,
the people all want to hang out with you and invite you places...
it's like everyone wants to be with you. Well, that's because
you are really visible! You're getting picked up on the radar,
your signal is being broadcast and your Light is radiating out
like a beacon. You are a beacon of Light- just like a
lighthouse. Why would you possibly want to go back into hiding after all the
good stuff that's happening? It's really not a conscious
decision. It's when the unconscious part of you gets
uncomfortable, nervous, scared and hesitant. Things are going
really well and you may not have a point of reference for good
things happening in your life experience. It may be
subconsciously- 'too good'. It may be that you expanded enough
to hit the next emotional layer of old limitation. It could just
be a signal to get your attention so that you release any little
restrictions that may still be in place. Take a moment and look within yourself. You are radiating? Or
are you hiding? Are you comfortable with your Light? Or are you
going through life feeling like no one can see you or hear you?
Do you feel self conscious when going out in public? Or are you
very comfortable, everyone talks to you and smiles? Think about
it. © 2005 Jodie Foster Jodie Foster is an Intuitive Counselor who assists clients to create extraordinary transformations in their daily lives.

Buy a computer--any computer--and it comes loaded with software automatically set to certain default settings. For example, the default setting for Word is Times New Roman 12-point.

Human default settings are those areas of life where we unconsciously cooperate with limiting thoughts and behaviors that keep us from living our best lives.

Transformational Counseling - Part Two
Once one becomes present to his or her self-limiting belief, the opportunity then exists, possibly for the first time in the person's life, to invent a possibility for his or her life, to begin to reinvent his or her life anew. An individual's possibility is how that person will be in the present, free of the constraints or barriers of the past, a creation from nothing. Within Transformational Counseling, an individual's possibility is a new or different way of thinking about himself or herself, of who they are, of who they will be. Like the individual's self-limiting belief, a person's possibility is a personal affirmation or declaration. Like a person's self limiting belief, an individual's possibility also exists in language, and once generated by the individual, will begin to create or invent his or her experiences and sense of reality through the power of his or her thoughts and word. Unlike a person's self limiting belief, an individual's possibility will allow him or her to create a life that they truly love and be able to live it powerfully.

With This Herb, There Comes A Wed
The late Cuban singer and queen of salsa, Celia Cruz, said it clear in her classic salsa "El Yerbero Moderno" (the modern herbist).

Ok, it's true, the original lyrics are more fun as they rhyme in Spanish, but the idea to pick up there is that "with this herb you can get married."

Pretending Your Life As You Want It - True Power Series
This is the sixth article in our "True Power" series. If you haven't been following the series, visit The ARTrepreneur to read the foundational material on beliefs before continuing.
All people live a structured existence that is entirely make-believe. For
example, though we act as if it's true, there is no such thing as days of the
week or hours in a day. These things are completely fabricated conventions. If
an alien were to visit New York, and someone said, "Well it's Monday morning,
everyone's off to work," the alien would nod politely and think, "How quaint.
They regulate their lives into compartments." The alien would in no way mistake
the custom for reality. He would recognize the custom as an idea. We pretend
it's real, but we could pretend other customs just as easily.
There is no such thing as time really ? no minutes, hours, days, weeks, or
months. We pretend they exist, and structure our lives accordingly, but we could
just as easily do it a different way. The day could be split in half and called
"up" and "down." Someone named some cycles. There are other cycles and other
names. Musicians, for example, often operate in a no-time zone. Lots of writers
have inverted or highly individualistic work schedules. Many artists have made
successful careers by following their own personal rhythms and beliefs. They
never fell for, "That's the way it is," because they knew it was all pretend,
and they could pretend their own structure just as easily as following someone
else's.
If someone says to you, "the music business is brutal," refuse to believe it. If
they want to pretend it's brutal, then they'll get that result. You won't be so
easily deceived. There are actors who have made careers quickly in Hollywood
because they didn't realize it was supposed to be hard. They weren't aware of
the convention. Realize that all conventions that we call modern society are
just ideas. Ideas are mobile. You can use them, discard them, and invent new
ideas. In reality, there is no movie industry or art industry. In reality, there
are never "Seven Steps to Anything." There are only ideas, and your ideas are as
valid as anyone's, and certainly more valid for you.
Pretending Your Life As You Want It Exercise
There are two ways to do this exercise. Choose a time everyday, and pretend your
life just the way you want it. See yourself in your mind doing the things you
want to do the way you want to do them. This is much like the internal
visualization exercises. You try to trick your mind into believing you're
experiencing the ideal now.
If you are bolder, you can pick a day or even a longer period of time, and while
you go about your day-to-day life, pretend that what you really want is
happening. Have imaginary meetings, imaginary bank deposits, imaginary shows,
imaginary dinners out. Physically, you may be doing the dishes, but mentally
you're making your subconscious become accustomed to the ideal. The minute you
do this, it starts to create the circumstances to make it happen. The less you
negate the ideal, the less you say to yourself, "That's not realistic. I can't
have it," the easier and faster it will be produced. By thinking freely about
the ideal, you begin to whittle away at doubts. At some point you'll accept the
ideal, and the pretend world and the actual world will begin to mesh.
Every successful person ignored the pretend circumstances outside themselves,
and pretended, instead, to be who they wanted to be and live how they wanted to
live. Pretending, then, is the essence of experience and, therefore, an
essential quality. Your life is a masterpiece composed of ideas that motivate
you to act. Be the creator of those ideas. Be moved by your own impulses and
desires. Pretend your existence into what you want it to be. That's all anyone's
doing anyways.
