Co-Creation: Making It Work

By Julia Griffin · Comments (0)

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

By accepting the premise of co-creation, we understand – life doesn’t “just happen.” We participate in it. Having read many treatises on manifestation, taught many students and practiced for some time, I’m fond of simple and practical steps for rapidly changing our experience of reality.

Attitude alters everything. Before starting a practice or beginning on a desire, it’s important to check-in with attitude. Do we believe it’s possible or even probable? Do we believe in our ability to create change – and more importantly do we believe in the possibility of a happy life as a reflection of fulfilled dreams?
Does our desire arise from need or want? Need pushes away desires – it causes erratic, anxious emotions that act as an opposing force to the realization of dreams, taking them away into the far distance. Need arises from a lack within – not a lack without. If we hear ourselves say the word “need”, then revision is necessary. (Most people believe they need love but fail to love themselves.)
Look at our words. Can we keep silent, neither sharing your successes or failure? Are we willing to give up criticism of others and speak well of them. It’s an odd twist in manifestation but we often receive a return of energy from the words spoken about others.
Does the object of co-creation take us more deeply into spiritual devotion or the matrix of the ego? Please keep in mind – the ego expresses needs and the soul whispers desires. A real difference exists between the two. Do we long for success to show to others or so that we can help others more?
Are we willing to observe our self-sabotage and rise above it? Everyone expresses patterns with an opposite resonance or vibration to the desire. It’s important to observe the internal dialog and have a willingness to observe and work through the pattern. Part of manifestation involves identifying our personal participation and then working through it.
What are our holograms – the highly detailed visual images that we hold of others and of our own life? How do we see or perceive the flow of your life? What do we expect in the future? Can we change your expectations and make goodness flow in now?
Self-validation comes in time. It’s important to review our actions to discover if we are acting to please others or to achieve greater alignment with the True Self. It’s pretty clear because we either gain or lose energy with our actions. It’s best to start with one or two hours of self-observation.
Find a teacher. Very few people can look clearly at themselves, develop psychic gifts or learn the rules of the universe without devoting a tremendous amount of study. A good teacher sees you clearly. He or she can cut through problems and teach the focus of energy for quick progress on the soul’s path, as well as discernment for the next step. (Investing in the self is always wise.)
Finally, the best reason for practicing co-creation is linking with the soul – the joy of living in tandem with the One/All – the ecstatic feeling of being in the flow. When we step on this path, life starts to truly change. Progress comes quickly and life becomes more beautiful and meaningful with the passage of time.

Practical Manifestation: Changing Your Life

By Julia Griffin · Comments (0)

Monday, April 16th, 2012

Whether beginning the work of creating wishes or having just completed, co-creation is best started in the NOW and in your personal life. It may not sound very spiritual to say it – but spirituality really starts with your problems — the segments of “reality” that require the most revision and energy.

In other words, your problems comprise the next step on your path. Think of what bothers, irritates or worries you — this is the best place to start. Whatever is not working indicates what you need most to learn about spiritually.

If you hide from your problems, then nothing changes — and even if you have a wonderful manifestation — the problems are still there. Any problem essentially says, “Change me. This isn’t working.”

Start with your problems. Make a list and then dream up a few positive solutions. They don’t have to be correct – the universe will offer feedback as you do the work. Before starting with visualization — do keep in mind — manifestation works best when applying believable visualizations.

You may not believe that your partner is helpful or life suddenly runs smoothly. So take it step-by-step in the beginning of any new visualization. Begin by seeing help with the dishes or the trash; see life reorganize itself in a pleasing way for a few hours.

If you want money, then don’t start with lottery – begin with more cash in your checking account, a big salary at work or unexpected money. (The lottery is fun to visualize this but use practical visualizations too.) Remember the feeling of having extra monies to spend and save. With relationships, start by adding pleasing moments or linger on happy memories –but project them into future.

Spend fifteen minutes each day in meditation and visualize the desired outcome. As your work progresses, you will to begin notice how your mind dwells on problems or emotional reactions in specific situations. Be sure to change these around by seeing the opposite of your experience.

As you change your reactions and projections, your hologram or image of your desired reality should heighten and become so real that you can feel it – or even imagine walking around in the picture. As time passes, your energy will heighten after meditation and eventually – with practice - your manifestation will come in physical form.

Changing How You Create Prosperity

By Julia Griffin · Comments (0)

Monday, April 16th, 2012

Want more of anything? Then love and embrace it. People usually think if I had more money, then I’d do ___. The money or prosperity doesn’t prevent having anything; the lack begins in the mental/emotional state. Wishing for more money pushes it away; seeing money in the hand calls it toward you.

Seeing the desired object or situation at hand pulls it into your field. It’s also good to take work and love every part of it. Resentment, irritation and boredom push money away. Enjoy every second of work and ask the Universe to help you in creating a state of boundless love. (If all you like is the paycheck, then send love to the paycheck and the space around your desk.)

Imagine receiving the desired answers, responses and income in increments. See numbers, graphs and deposits going up – and send love to them. If work gives feelings of hurry or upset – then send light to work and bless the job. (If you want another job, then meditate on this at lunch.)

Break work (and money chores) into increments. Work for 5 or 10 minutes on the most disliked parts of your job and then love yourself for completing the task. (In time, this task will become easy.) Then move to a favored task and fly through it happily. Take time to congratulate yourself for efficiency and efforts.

Bless every response. If someone writes and is not interested in your product or your desire, bless the email. Something – instead of nothing – is happening. See as the Universe is taking note and listening. If this person is not interested, then the next one will be. Learn how to move from disappointment into happy expectation. It’s essential to succeed in Universal Light Work.

Stay patient. Two or three weeks can pass before experiencing a small change, and you must reap results if you stay focused on your visualization and love. It’s a law of the Universe. High frequency (love) + visualization always bring change. Remember to express gratitude and expand your focus (by expanding the desire) when your desire is fulfilled.

Healing the Human Heart

By Julia Griffin · Comments (0)

Monday, April 16th, 2012

Troubles and worries periodically resurface for all of us – even light workers with a dedicated practice! Sometimes our hearts hurt with traces of old pain as states of the former self transit. We feel pain or despair – and although we know the state won’t last, it hurts. Life stops temporarily when encompassing temporary trauma or dipping down into pain.

Pain also indicates an opportunity for future healing of the heart, of the self – by understanding our inner involvement. It is a pattern of the mind and emotions to return to pain, to turn it over and over again in our consciousness. This habit can stop at any time – it’s a choice. Self-mastery comes with frequent good choices.

Here are a few tips or pick-me-ups:

1) Go into the pain. Relinquish the concept of others causing your pain or the difficulty of a particular situation. It’s usually a reflection of an aspect of the self.

2) Find a strand of memories (or memory) that relates to the pain. See if there is a common note among the memories. What action/inaction do you take when overwhelmed with pain? How does it serve you? (Pain slows down the spiritual process. It can keep you from moving forward. Look to see how it altered your life in the past –attention, change of plans, rest, withdrawal, etc.)

3) Go back into the pain. Where do you feel it? Find the place you feel it most and send love and light to it.

4) What would you do with complete resolution? How would you feel? Send light again with the feeling of resolution. Repeat several times.

5) Pain comes and goes on the spiritual path. If we remain with our practices, it does pass.

Awareness Avenue - A cool site!

Most people talk about meditation, spirituality or love – but I love what my student T-Kay did with her time! As she traveled down the less well-known path of spiritual work, T-Kay kept references, descriptions and names of her studies, and, then she put them together for other seekers in a website called “Awareness Avenue”, http://www.awarenessave.net.

This articulate, concise website offers material for any seeker looking basic material for solid research. It’s a very cool FREE compilation of spiritual material including sources for information about angels, alchemy, astrology, the Maya calender, co-creation and much more. It’s a wonderful basic reference guide and includes links for teachers, shopping and other materials, as well as T-Kay’s condensed explanation of every subject on the site. (Beginner and intermediate students will benefit most from the site.)

T-Kay speaks of her work as “The Scenic View” –her expression of a time period spent seeking wisdom and gathering bits of pieces of the puzzle together until they merged into one piece — and she shares the puzzle pieces on her site for others to do the same. T-Kay encourages others to browse, take their time and enjoy the view of many teachers and sites gathered together in the compilation and completion of her personal puzzle.

Planetary Change: Astrology Report

By Julia Griffin · Comments (0)

Monday, April 9th, 2012

Before beginning, please remember the purpose of the stars is movement toward self-mastery through enlightenment and love. Influences can include expression of duality through conflict, emphasis on the ego or True Self, difficulties or comfort in relationships or surrender –but every set of aspects in planetary movement reveals a portion of our nature (good or bad) for self-evolution. (If you’re not familiar with astrology, then ask to understand the information on an intuitive level or for a “feeling.”)

Early April brought the forward movement of Mercury in Pisces, which encourages positive communication, use of the higher mind in unraveling the mysteries and success with endeavors. Mars — which symbolizes yang or male energy as the movement through life – ends its three month retrograde on April 13. Think of it as a blast-off for your dreams and hold your visions tightly. (My late March class gave detailed instructions for this process.)

Venus sits in Gemini, also encouraging the use of the higher mind, short trips and relationships between siblings. More importantly – Venus will cross the sun in June 2012. This rare event offers a major opportunity to link the higher mind and heart for all of humanity. (I will soon write more on the connection between our inner mind, hearts and the outer world.) “Seeing” calm, unity and peace for this time is extremely important, as many in mass humanity lack the vision of love-at-large.

Pluto moves into a retrograde position on April 10 and holds the station until September 18. Retrogrades involve learning about our true feelings or inner secrets, and it’s suggested that we take time for inner contemplation during these times. Pluto sits in Capricorn, which involves desire for power, money and status, and Pluto, lord of the underworld, rules mass consciousness and inner beliefs. This position means that we have more than our usual potential to create change, and it’s incredibly important to play your vision forward instead of focusing on hate, chaos or wrong.

Coming Retrogrades

The late spring and summer are filled with retrogrades, characterizing the two step forward and one step back evolutionary dance. Clearly we’re meant to contemplate the world with the higher mind while designing and activating dreams in our inner/outer worlds.

Venus retrogrades May 15-June 27

Neptune retrogrades June 4- November 11

Chiron retrogrades June 12 – November 14

There are more retrogrades throughout the year – which I’ll write about later – and a solar eclipse in mid-May. Solar eclipses represent a re-setting of our energy fields, so we’ll have class around that time.

Creating a New Identity

By Julia Griffin · Comments (0)

Monday, April 9th, 2012

The progression of co- creation of causes a revision of our personal identity. It’s impossible to remain the person who sought the resolution of personal awakening. Awakening takes place on the cellular level as light flows through all particles of the being. We no longer see life through the auspices of the person who began by seeking the cause of chaos or mis-creation in life.

No one can create a different body without changing their thoughts, diet and exercise habits nor understand the intersection of the influence of spiritual awakening without altering the focus of the mind, heart and consciousness. If we learn to see ourselves as loving and profiting from our work, then we usually change our minds about the dullness or difficulty of work. (We typically associate anxiety, boredom and overwhelm with work when in the lower self.) We understand the interweaving of love and result.

As we create positive images about the issues in our lives – and see them as stepping stones –then the old image of the self (as helpless, needy or frightened) is transformed. The transformation is an integral part of the process and is often characterized as a dance of taking two steps forward and one step back or forgetting and remembering.

Inner imagery, the feelings and sensations of emotion, actions and reactions compose frequencies or songs in physical reality. We leave incorrect choices and part of the ego’s mental dialog, such as thinking nothing will ever change or we don’t know what to do.

Every act of co-creation or remarkable desire represents a specific frequency – like a musical tone. When we vibrate consistently with a tone through practice, then our lives alter in the physical world. (Like the soprano breaking the glass – material reality alters from sustained frequency.) All co-creation involves the use of self-love to create a new identity that resonates at a higher frequency and sees life from a higher, more beautiful perspective.

Manifesting Change with the New Energies

By Julia Griffin · Comments (0)

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

Manifestation alters slightly with planetary change, fluctuating with new energies, solar flares and our light level – though the dynamic stays the same — it’s the quest of creating a life that reflects the soul. The increase of spiritual energy means a stronger connection with the akasha or The Field. This brings closer telepathic connection and makes our thoughts and feelings more powerful.

For individuals moving toward self-development and soul growth, our thoughts or feelings imprint the akasha more intensely, which increases their energetic outcome in physical reality. Through studies and personal observation, I’ve noted a few techniques that allow expansion of personal ability in the field of co-creation.

1) Hold the desired vision of your life for ten to fifteen minutes each day, but add 9-10 very brief visualizations of the desired outcome for the day or week. (When it’s correct, your energy increases.)

2) Note any feelings of anxiety, overwhelm or too much focus when your desire begins to take place in reality. Be sure to rest while continuing the visualization. You may also want to add good sleep and down time to the visualization when changes take place. In our society, we tend to associate change with stress or overwhelm.

3) You will experience conflict when you move toward change. Occasionally things will go wrong or people will misunderstand. You may make mistakes, but it’s okay. You’re a co-creator and un-create the problem or find a solution.

4) Develop your vision every week. Expansion is part of co-creation. Can you work less and make money? Can you love your life more? Can you make it easier to have a relationship or to speak your mind in relationships?

5) Review the day and week. What would you change and how would you see it differently? Constantly revise the overall vision – by adding to it and making it better.

6) Take time away from life with nature. The objects in nature – the trees, birds, animals and flowers – actually correct your vision so that it aligns with the Divine.

7) Try to ignore other people when they are jealous, competitive or express your ideas as their own. In the big picture — when you work on co-creation, you rarely have time for these types of activities — so forgive them and keep working on your dream.
