Hello there lovely human,
I know first hand the power of intention. The power of desire.
AND the efficacy of saying those desires and intentions out loud.
I could go into all the reasons why this is so powerful – let’s just suffice it to say – it creates greater alignment with our conscious and unconscious aspects as well as the Universe on a multitude of levels.
In light of that, as March quickly gives way to April – I have a tiny gift for you. I made it several years ago.
When I came across it brought joy and a smile to my face. May something in this inspire you or brighten your day as well.
It is a wee bit of interactive Magic for you to play with!
Highly useful for changing ones perspective and opening the aperture of possibilities in a more playful way.
Stellar for lightening up and loosening those internal places that feel tight or stuck.
Especially potent for when we feel we are in some way – not at choice in our own lives.
Doing something new and different, taking an unfamiliar action rather than ruminating or continuing on the well worn path – has a way of doing all of the above.
And right now is a wonderful time to change things up and do just that.
What is this – photo above – you ask?
It’s modeled off of one of those old-school flyers you might find on a community bulletin board – perhaps for a handy-person, a cat sitter or a bodyworker.
You know – the kind with little dangly bits on one side – also known as tabs. Each tab would have a phone number on it so you can just grab one and take it with you.
Rather than phone numbers – this handmade and imperfect flyer has qualities. Qualities that enliven and nourish the inner Spirit of we humans.
Universal Qualities we all want more of in our lives – joy, laughter, kindness, enthusiasm, etc.
You can downlaod and print this one out – or have more fun, play with some art supplies and make your own – which I highly recommend.
If you cannot read my often inscrutable handwriting – here is a printed list of the qualities.
After you’ve printed the flyer out – gently cut between the words to seperate them so that they are easy to pull off.
Use some tape to hang the whole page on one edge so the dangly bits are free.
Place it somewhere where it will catch your attention – your fridge, a kitchen cabinet, next to your bed, a mirror in your bathroom, by the front door. Anywhere you will see it.
Perhaps choose to make a wee ritual of “choosing” out of interacting with it.
In the morning – you might grab a slip that calls to you. Your prayer and/or intention for the day.
Then – out loud say something like –
“I’m calling in the song of Laughter today.”
“I would love clear Direction to guide me as I move through my day today.”
“I am inviting Inspiration to dance with me today.”
Or the simplest and most potent of all –
“I choose Harmony today.”
After you’ve torn off your choice for the day – place that little slip somewhere you’ll see it as you move through the day
Maybe tuck it into your bra next to your heart.
Stick it in your pocket or wallet.
Place it on your desk or laptop.
Lightly secure it to your to daytimer or ‘to do’ list.
Then at the end of the day – AFTER you’ve carried it around with you. Perhaps place it in a small receptacle to gather the used slips in and keep it next to your bed.
As you hold that tiny little paper – take a moment to think back on your experience.
Notice and acknowledge how and when that Universal Quality showed up for you as you moved through the day.
I promised myself I’d keep this short – so I‘m going to restrain myself and not go to go into ALL the ways and whys of how this works.
Suffice it to say there are MANY.
The Universe always responds when we take a step, an action – no matter how small – toward what we desire. Our heartfelt choices. Those qualities we want to experience more of.
Our “job” then is to pay attention and notice what we notice.
I encourage – be a scientist in your own life. See what happens.
Have fun with it!
Let me know how you make this your own and what you discover.
PS. Pro Tip – because we humans forget this – and it works!
If you want more of something give it to yourself rather than waiting for the world or other folks to give it to you!
Feel unacknowledged? Acknowledge yourself more.
Want to experience more Love in the world? Love yourself even more unconditionally.
Desiring kindness?
You get the idea.
