Dr Wayne Dyer on Contemplation
In our lives, we always give excuses and blame to get out of problems and situations. In this video, Dr. Wayne Dyer explains why excuses and blame makes us what we are and how to change it.
Notes:
- When contemplation is a match to originating spirit, you gain the cooperation of divine mind, attracting and fulfilling our desire.
- Our thoughts cannot be on excuses.
- Contemplation is an action in and of itself which sets into motion all of the creative forces of the universe. IE As you start to contemplate from the place that all things are possible, and you can create all things you want in your life, then you set into motion the creative forces that are operating the universe.
- When you rely on excuse, you allow your false self or ego to contemplate what you do not want or why you cannot create it for yourself. IE I’m to old. It’s going to take too long.
- The presence of excuses in your life is evident that you contemplate what you can’t do or have, rather than the infinite possibilities that are inherent in the divine creative self.
- To rid yourself of excuses you must learn to practise contemplating what you intend to manifest and simeltanously detach from the out come.
- Contemplate like God does with thought of how can I serve.
- Allow the divine to grow within you.
- Instead of thinking what might happen, think from the end.
- How willing are you to attract into your life what you want and to rid yourself of your excuses. Willingness - suspending all of your blame. Taking total responsibility that is in your life. To surrender.
- Arrange whatever pieces come your way and make it work for you ~ Virgina Woolf

The Vortex - Are you a cooperative component: Abraham - Hicks
A few of you have been asking us about the Vortex. We found this great video by Abraham-Hicks explaining it for you.
Enjoy!
Notes:
- Imagine that Source is holding everything you want
- Everything you have ever asked for is because you think you will feel better having it. What you really want is alignment.
- You all are asking and Source is answering always.
- Try and understand the process as everything is working out just the way as it should.
- Be willing to move in the direction of what you want and no longer continue to beat the drum of what caused you to ask for it. eg When you are struggling with money, you’re asking all day, all day, all day, for more money. But as you continue to beat the drum of ‘I don’t have enough’ and ‘It’s not fair that he’s got too much,’ as you keep beating those drums you are depriving yourself of the vibrational attitude that is necessary for you to get what you are asking for.
- You are the only one that can get into your vortex which is the vibrational escrow/reality that is called the vortex. Everything that you have asked for is there.
- When you ask for something, it is there and summoned to the vortex, the question is, are you a cooperative component to be being drawn into your vortex.
- You’ve got to want to be in the vortex more than anything.
- When you’re in the vortex you’re in the magical swirl where you get everything you want.
- Train yourself into the vortex by talking about what you want more than what you don’t want, be optimistic rather than pessimistic.
- You have to fine tune your manifestation.

Abraham-Hicks: Fine-Tuning Manifestation
Notes:
- If you have a goal to accomplish something and it hasn’t manifest yet, then there is still an awareness of it’s absence which will hold it in suspension indefinitely
- If your goal is to get in the vortex, you can accomplish all that you want immediately and at the same time you will stop disallowing everything you’ve been asking it to come
- Rather than being aware of the missing pieces, have a conversation about what’s working
- Focus on what you already do know that matches what you want
- Focus on the pieces that have already been completed
- Amplify, amplify, amplify the pieces that have come into place in such a way that the missing pieces become irrelevant
- Use what you’ve got as your reason to be in the vortex, not what you don’t have as your motivation to be in the vortex
- Don’t talk about the things that you don’t have, focus on something that’s already wonderful and in your life
- Think and feel your way to your goals
- Ease up on the action and the making it happen and get more into the allowing it to happen
- Do what makes you feel good to get into the vortex

Dreams come true, here’s proof
I don’t believe in New Years Resolutions, I believe in Write-Off Day (December 31st). Write Off Day is a day that serves like the red-line at the end of the quarter in most businesses, where you write off the losses. I wake up December 31st and make a list of all the things I regret, dislike or didn’t love about the year before, then right as the clock strikes midnight, I burn the list. This allows me to start fresh on January 1st, with no expectations, only hopes. I definitely don’t set resolutions that are sure to set me up for failure.
In January 2009 I started a new tradition. I created my first dream board (some people call them vision boards).
Oprah has been promoting the dream board (and the concept of The Secret) for years on her show. A good friend of mine, Lorraine Salgueiro, of Bliss Yoga in Encinitas, was my 2009 dream board coach. Lorraine’s coined phrase is, “Have faith in destiny, the Universe always lines up.” And she is one of those people that just seem to have everything fall into place, always.
The dream board came about by accident. One night she had me over for margarita’s and showed me her dream board. Not only was it filled with beautiful pictures and images of dreams she had for herself, but it made her smile. I saw hope in her eyes, and belief written across her face. She started to pull out old dream boards from years past, and she’d point and say, “This house was on my dream board, I bought it that very year,” or “this was my dream for my yoga studio, it looks just like Bliss doesn’t it?”
I was sold. I left her house and went to Barnes & Noble and bought a ton of magazines. Then I ran to Target and bought a poster board, then I showed back up at her doorstep the next night with a bottle of wine. “Teach me,” I asked her.
We corked the bottle and spent the next few hours tearing up pictures in the magazines, I had far more dreams than the board would hold. She coached me to “be specific,” indicating that the very dreams I would wish for, would in fact manifest themselves.
I narrowed down my pictures and pasted up my dream board. I went home and put it on the bedroom wall so it would be the first thing I would see every day when I woke up. Suffice to say, my dream board images followed me around, while shocking at first I began to laugh as things just seemed to creep up (like a couple kissing on the edge of the ocean with a golf course behind them).
Manifestation, or the concept of “The Secret” says, we create what is in front of us. The belief is that each of us has control over our destiny. If we are having a bad day we have the sole ability to change our attitudes, and not be burdened with the weight of stress and depression.
An example in The Secret book is that If we wish for a good parking space, and truly believe we will get a good parking space, and even go as far as to visualize ourselves pulling into that space, a spot will present itself.
After I created my dream board, I spent the rest of the month reading about the “law of attraction,” “the secret,” and “creating destiny” and realized from example after example, that yes, in fact I am in control of my future. I’d always been the type of person who lived in optimism, but that’s when I began focusing on creating what I wanted. I was careful to send only positive energy and thoughts out to the “Universe” Lorraine always spoke about.
I started to realize that everything I put out, I got back, even the negative…even the bad. Some people call this concept karma.
As the end of 2009 approached, I spoke to my boss at the Examiner about doing a San Diego Top 10 news recap for the year. But something in me ached to share my own personal reflection of 2009…
We create our dreams.
The following is a slide show, beginning with my dream board (created in January) followed by real-life photos taken mostly by accident during the course of 2009. Seeing is believing, dream boards work, and all my dreams came true.
One thing is certain; I will be very careful, and very specific with my dream board in 2010, because I’m incredibly powerful at manifesting what I want. One thing I realized was that as a single girl in the beginning of the year, I had chosen a lot of pictures that represented love, and women in relationships in love. I also realized that every “guy” I put on my dream board, had dark hair and light eyes, no wonder I didn’t wind up with that blonde haired blue eyed boy. Be careful what you wish for – it just may come true.
Lorraine is holding a “building dreams” workshop at Bliss Yoga the first week in January; contact her at 760-632-8330 or blissyogaworld.com to see your dreams to reality in 2010.
