How to Create a Living Vision (an Awesomely Attractive Creative Visualization) for Manifesting Your Best Year Ever
By Anisa Aven
Jim Carrey, super-star comedy “man with a 1000 faces” once said that he used to sit on the side of the mountain, off of Mulholland Drive, overlooking the San Fernando Valley and imagine his success. While overlooking the San Fernando Valley, which is an awe-inspiring and breathtaking sight, he would conjure visions of success, practice his Oscar award acceptance speech, rehearse signing autographs, and imagine how grateful he will feel when he deposits his first check, made payable to Jim Carrey, for One-Million dollars. He actually held a check in his hands, written to and by himself, and intensely imagined the entire scene – how thankful he felt, how acknowledged, relieved, excited, thrilled, and accomplished he would feel, as if it were happening in the moment.
Jim Carrey was doing a Living Vision to create and manifest the success he desired.
Now, did Jim know that he was intentionally manifesting and ‘trying’ to attract success by this activity or did visualizing and imagining just come natural to Jim? I have not heard that part of story but I do know that this is exactly what all successful people do, either consciously or unconsciously; they imagine what they want, play it out in their minds, as if they were living it today, right now, and this imaginative process (along with consistent and resilient action) is exactly how they attract success.
Example Living Visions:
Goal: To be a successful artist.
I feel…
I feel incredibly excited about my upcoming art tour. I am working diligently on preparing for the trip. It’s truly fulfilling and exciting to know that my art is being featured and admired, and collected by so many art-aficionados world-wide.
I see..
I am looking at the elegantly and artistically designed invitation to my art show. I’m so proud of the marketing team for designing such a motivating and one-of-a kind invitation, it’s exactly the right paper, and words, and colors to make an impression and so representative of who I am and what my art is all about. Yesterday, I was asked to approve the final layout of the showroom and it’s just extraordinary to have so many people excited about my work. Walking through the galley, my breath was taken away as I realized that the art on the walls, perfectly lit, beautifully framed and arranged, is my art, I created these masterpieces and others are finding joy and inspiration by them. It’s just remarkable and wonderful to feel so blessed.
I appreciate…
I appreciate the time that others have put into making my art such an extraordinary success. I appreciate living well and prosperously while doing what I love. I am grateful that I am so fortunate and happy. I am grateful that I get to play with my art, all day, every day, as I choose and still make such an incredible living. I appreciate having realized my dreams and all the people that have helped to make my life, my success, my prosperity, and my joy happen.
I hear…
I was talking to my father the other day and one of his colleagues had just purchased some art at a very fine gallery. He was describing the piece to my father and my dad said, is the artist’s name “my name” and his friend said, “yes, how did you know?” My father said he proudly donned a massive smile and said, “Because that’s my daughter’s work!” It was so much fun to hear the pride and joy in my dad’s voice. And, to know that my work has taken on a life of its own and people are talking about it and me without me having to engage in the conversation. It’s just lovely on so many levels.
I say…
I asked my good friend to lunch this week. We decided to try out that new eclectic bistro in downtown. I was so surprised when I walked in and saw one of my pieces hanging on the wall! My friend recognized it first and said, “Is that your piece?” I looked and sure enough there it was, beautifully displayed for all to enjoy. I said, “Wow, I swear I didn’t know that was here!” We laughed as she teased me – that I just wanted to have lunch under my own art work and that’s why I dragged her all the way downtown! We laughed through the entire lunch! It was so much fun and such a funny day!
Others say…
When I went to the ladies’ room, my friend told the owner that I was the artist. He joined us and we began discussing my inspiration for the piece, my next piece that I’m working on now, and what my upcoming gallery shows. It was such a delightful conversation. To our surprised delight, he refused to let us pay for our meal! Then, he shocked me by asking if I would do a commissioned piece for his other restaurant. He wrote me a check as a deposit- a $15,000 deposit, needless to say, I was speechless. My friend, however, called all of our friends on the way home to talk about our eventful afternoon!
I smell… I taste…
As we were leaving the restaurant, my new ‘best friend’ the owner, prepared a take-away with freshly baked red-velvet cheesecake. My friend and I were too full in the restaurant to have dessert, so he decided to send it home with us. Almost as soon as we got into the car, my friend said, what’d we get? I opened the container and the sweet smell of the world’s finest cheesecake hit us both, making our mouths water! We were both completely satisfied from our meals but almost instantly we said, “I have to have a bite of that!” We didn’t have utensils, so my friend said, “I don’t care if you use your hands! I have to have bite of that!” So, with our raw fingers we ate the entire cheesecake on the way home. It was beyond delicious – smooth, creamy, with just the right hint of sweetness. The red-velvet cake was most and indescribably delicious. Just like my art, this cheesecake was a unique experience all on its own. It’s funny how this entire day is such a delightful memory, symbolizing my overall success. I will forever recall the smell and taste of that cheesecake as one of the most precious memories affirming my successful career as a recognized and prosperous artist.
I accept…
I accept this feeling of success and happiness. I accept that I deserve this recognition and prosperity. I accept that I am worthy of all my dreams fulfilled. I accept that I am worthy of love, appreciation, recognition, and joy. I accept that I was born to fulfill my potential as an artist and thus experience this joy and freedom. I accept the ever-increasing wave of abundance that comes to me from all directions, including my art career. I accept that I am a prolific artist, producing grand works of art on a persistent and joyous basis. I accept that I am appreciated for my talents and well-compensated. I accept that I am welcomed by the art-community and openly accept their accolades while refusing to take their criticisms personally. I accept that I am living a full and richly fulfilling life doing what I love, creating art, and sharing it with the world.
I prepare…
Now, I must prepare to receive my next level of abundance. It’s time for me to make room in my life for increased supply, increased recognition and increased demands for my work. I make room by analyzing my days and removing time-wasters, distractions, and uninspiring activities. I make room in my emotional home by gearing up… I prepare my day in order to dedicate the focused time and energy required to create my art. I prepare my mind by releasing any and all doubts, limiting beliefs, or fearful thoughts of lack, overwhelm, distraction, etc.
I am grateful for my successful career as a prosperous artist. I give thanks and accept that all is well. All that I desire is happening now, and I don’t have to know how. It’s all in Divine Order and Divine Timing, so I let it go and I begin to playfully and creatively create my masterpieces.
Now, let’s walk through the creation of that living vision so that you can take YOUR goals and launch powerful, magnetic intentions too!
1) Clarity: Ask yourself, “What do I want?” and “What will this give to me that I don’t now have or that I want more of?” (You’re looking for both the ‘thing you want’ and the ‘way that you believe that thing will make you feel!)
2) Radiation: Sensationalize and Emotionalize – Present Tense, Happening Now: Take both answers and speak affirmatively and confidently. Claim the experience with ALL of your positive emotions and ALL of your senses. Build a scene around the experience of having received your desire, already; act as if you have already achieved your goal and now you are appreciating it, making room for the next goals, and dealing with the changes that have occurred as a result of manifesting your dream. Your aim is have a passionate and thankful conversation as if this ‘thing you desire’ were already fulfilled now. (Use the diagram below for guidance.)
3) Acknowledge the Divine, Give Thanks and Release: Revel in delight and appreciation; Claim the Truth that you have ALL that you require and that you ACCEPT the consequences for having achieved this desire. Make plans to PREPARE to receive your good. BE adamant that the Divine Timing and the Divine Order is at hand and that all is well according to the Divine Plan, and therefore you let it go with full acknowledgement
In summary:
1) Claim it NOW.
2) Emotionalize and Experience it with ALL your senses.
3) Appreciate your good fortune and RELEASE it with 100% Absolute Certainty.
A Living Vision is a powerful method for increasing your belief and manifesting your dreams. . The more consistent you are with launching living visions the easier they become and the faster your goals will manifest.
Set an intention to launch at least ONE living vision a day. In thirty days you will be amazed at the changes in your life and the magic and dependability of the Power of Your Intentions!

From broke and broken, to healthy, happy and conscious… Jerry and Esther Hicks and Abraham, have blessed my life.
Category: law of attraction — Anisa @ 2:11 pm
My first introduction to Jerry and Esther Hicks and Abraham was in 1992. I was given a cassette tape and told, "You have to listen to this!" That audio changed my life – internally and externally.
I was very broke and broken on many levels. One of the first things I set my focus on manifesting was a ‘return to health.’ I had been diagnosed and told that I would have to live with the pain of a shoulder injury for the rest of my life. Long story short: I was 22, the pain was so debilitating that the experts suggested disability and lots of pain meds. I knew nothing about the law of deliberate creation, the power of positive thought, or the law of attraction. All I knew was that the experts HAD to be wrong! I knew that I could NEVER agree to give up and be in pain forever – it just was not in me to believe them and surrender. I refused to take the pain medicine because it numbed not just my shoulder but every part of my soul. Well-meaning friends told me that I was in denial and that I should just accept my plight. But, something within me knew they were wrong… there had to be a way, some way, to heal.
Thus, my first experience with recognizing how the law of attraction works. Out of my desperate desire to heal came my introduction to Abraham and Jerry’s ability to ask direct and powerful questions.
After hearing just one short session where Jerry asked really provocative questions of this strange sounding woman named Esther, I felt like I had ‘come home’. All the lights were suddenly on and inner being was set ablaze.
I was very deliberate and within 3 weeks, healed my shoulder. It was one of my crowning moments and to this day, I have healthy, flexible and strong shoulders and arms. (Of course!)
Now, if I’m honest, I didn’t slam-dunk my other goals. I attracted a few crazy, crazy boyfriends and a divorce, an incredible job and its demise, beautiful wealth followed by bankruptcy… the list goes on and on as my path towards conscious creation mastery and spiritual awakening has been a gloriously adventurous one consisting of plenty of spicy and bland, tasty and sour, and all-together-delicious experiences.
I am honored to have had the opportunity to meet Jerry and Esther at an Abraham workshop. There were about 45 of us in the room and I hung on every word, connecting to a deeper knowingness within me; a part of me that I didn’t even knew existed was now alive, aware, and passionately awake!
I can’t help it – I’ve cried at the news of Jerry’s transition. I know I’m supposed to understand that he’s not really gone… but that’s not exactly why I’ve shed tears. I am praying for Esther and my heart feels for her loss. Yet, I know that if anyone can connect to the other side, it’s Esther and she’s most assuredly already playing with Jerry’s new self. I cry because Jerry and Esther (and Abraham) have been incredible gifts in my life and for so many of you as well.
I would like to share with you Esther’s email about Jerry’s transition. It’s indescribably transformative just to read her words.
Below, I’ve included the links to The Abe Blog as well as a link complimentary Abraham recordings:
===================
From Esther Hicks about Jerry’s Transition:
Dear, dear friends,
Our sweet Jerry made his transition into Nonphysical last Friday (11/18/11). How sweet the Vortex is feeling to him today!
Jerry said to me when we came together over 30 years ago that given the difference in our ages that it was likely “that I will cut out on you early,” to which I replied, “I don’t mind.” His joy of life and continual new discovery of purpose kept his life feeling fresh and we shared such joyous eagerness for life.
Over the years, Abraham has consistently insisted that there is no death. Again and again they have reminded us that there is only life and more life and more life. It has taken me some time to understand this, and I honestly must say I have not yet fully come to terms with it, but I do believe that in what we are calling Jerry’s death he is discovering the next logical step of life that Abraham has always been talking about. And at times I am catching a glimpse of the bigness of what Jerry is feeling and while I am still pretty mad at him for not sticking around longer to surprise and delight me in all the ways he has been doing throughout our 30 years together I accept fully that the next logical step of joyous life for Jerry was to be found in his re-emergence into Nonphysical.
Since 1985 it has been Jerry and Esther and Abraham and I believe with everything that I am that that has not changed. I know that Jerry will continue to be the third powerful point of the triad of Energy that makes up the Abraham experience and I am certain that his new vantage point will be, as it has always been, of advantage to us all.
I know for sure that Jerry will help me, in time, release my own personal resistance to physical death, because I will not be able to maintain that resistance and also play easily with him. And my desire to continue not only my Abraham experience but also my Jerry experience I am certain he will be the catalyst to help me do what Abraham has been trying to help us all do all along.
Once again, Jerry is out there leading the way for me. But the difference this time is that I must find the way. I am not there yet, but it is my absolute promise to myself that I will find the way, because it is the most natural thing in the world to do and because Jerry has provided for me the reason to do it.
I am eager about what is ahead and while I cannot begin to explain or even imagine the details of how it is all going to play out, I am certain that it will be fun.
I am such a fortunate girl, to have been able to play with Jerry and Abraham and all of you for so many wonderful years and I am so eager to continue doing more of the same for many more years to come. I feel certain right now that not only has nothing gone wrong, but things are going especially right. It will be different, for sure, but it will also be very, very good.
I’m feeling such love for you all, and for Abraham and most of all for Jerry. And as I have said to him a thousand or more times through the years, “Well isn’t life just a kick in the pants?”
Love,
Esther Hicks

Who You Are Teaches Your Children How to Be (& Free Balance Wheel Exercise)
Category: law of attraction — Anisa @ 11:44 am
How to Teach Children the Universal Laws and the Power of Their Minds
By example, we teach our children who to become. (And, thus it's important to recognize your own level of manifestation mastery – where are you?) by Anisa Aven Note: This article is not just for parents. I’ve included two important Discovery Exercises below; my Wheel of Life exercise which may be used to gain significant clarity regarding your level of fulfillment in all areas of your life and a ‘Benchmarking’ roadmap to help you determine where you are on your road towards mastery. These are very effective discovery processes that I do several times a year, just to make sure I’m really focused on my top priorities and understand my next steps towards personal and spiritual mastery. There are specific steps we can take to teach our children the power of their minds. The first and most important is to be fully aware of our own level of mastery – as our children learn first by observation. A few weeks ago, Ashlyn, my 10-year-old daughter, had strep- throat and began a round of antibiotics. About four days into the second set of antibiotics, I asked her how she felt and she said she wasn’t feeling much better. I immediately said, “Well, this is not working. I guess I’ll schedule another appointment with the doctor and see if there’s a different medicine or something.” She looked at me puzzled and said, “Mom, don’t do that. I just need to tell my body to heal itself.” I was speechless. I sat there, knowing she was right; knowing that this was the solution all along. While I had previously tossed around the statement that we needed to EFT and create wellbeing for her, I’m embarrassed to report I hadn’t actually taken the time and initiative to follow through. Instead, I opted for the path of least resistance – antibiotics. Now, instead of me setting the example for how to be a powerful conscious creator, my daughter was teaching me. Fortunately, for me, observational learning is happening whether I realize it or not and this seemingly insignificant interaction was proof. Thus, even in my moment of disconnection, what I live on an everyday basis when directing my own life was readily available and inspiring her. As conscious parents, we intend to teach our children how to be powerful conscious creators and the most effective approach is to become that which we aspire to teach. Thus, the real question becomes where are you in your manifestation mastery? Allow me to side-step ‘teaching our children the law of attraction’ for one moment and let’s discuss the stages of learning and mastery. As we pursue manifestation mastery, there are three stages of learning and four-phases of mastery, each of which tend to overlap each other as our focus and interest ebbs and flows:
Unconscious Incompetence: Ignorance is bliss as we don’t know what we don’t know. Conscious Incompetence: We realize there’s something we don’t know. We have a spark within that recognizes life could be different if we could learn how to apply the missing keys. Cognitive: We are beginning to learn to manifest and we focus on the ideas and steps to accomplish our goal. We are learning by doing, aware of the process and conscious of our level of confidence. We are suspicious of our performance and unsure how to evaluate confidently whether or not we are performing the ‘visualization’ or ‘intentional manifesting’ exercise correctly or incorrectly. Mostly, we evaluate our success by whether or not the end result manifests quickly and in the form we had imagined. We sense a level of cautious confidence but not know how to correct our errors or poor performance. As a result, we will manifest inconsistently and be unsure of the causes of our inconsistent results. When a positive thought creator resides too long in this state of development, not only will their manifestations fall short but they will likely experience a variety of negative thoughts and emotions such as “I’ve been duped – the law of attraction is bogus and doesn’t work”, “I’m inadequate, incapable, broken or undeserving” and quite often they will flip-flop between these two debilitating beliefs. Conscious Incompetence –moving towards Conscious Competence: We are moving towards greater success as we become more skilled and practiced. Associative: In this stage of conscious creation mastery, we begin to refine our techniques. We go deeper with the ideas that our limiting beliefs are the sole cause of our problems and that we are unlimited to the extent that we embrace our pure potentiality. We practice and thus become more consistent in the application of the Universal Laws. Poor performance decreases as we become more aware of manifestations that are directly connected to our thoughts and emotions. We experience moments of rapid manifestation success as less attention and concentration is required to produce connected results. We are deeply curious about the law of detachment and through direct experience realize allowing and detachment to be the key to our manifestation mastery. We become more aware of our internal progress and external feedback is viewed as opportunities to understand the more complex nature of our emotions, of manifestation mastery and particularly, co-creation with others. We begin to experiment with strategy as opposed to laissez faire processes. We experience moments of competence and expansiveness. However, we are still aware of our inconsistent performance. Conscious Competence --> Unconscious Competence: We are moving from conscious and deliberate integration of manifestation skills to unconscious competence, where our response to external stimulus is more automatic and aligned with our unlimited potential. Autonomous: We have thorough understanding of the Universal Laws and consistently and instinctively manifest outcomes intentionally. We respond to external stimulus with an automatic understanding equal to “All is well, all the time” and “Divine Order reigns supreme” and “I now direct the outcome with grace and appreciation” with minimal concentration. Our overall emotional state is peaceful, certain, connected, and aligned with the truth that we are unlimited. Each ‘area’ of our life may have a different level of mastery. For example, there are many who master the art of manifesting money long before they master the art of manifesting love (and vice-versa). One way to determine where you are in your path towards conscious creation mastery is to evaluate your level of fulfillment in each area of your life. The following are the Areas of Life that I personally evaluate for my own 'Benchmark' view of where I am and where I want to go... 1) Wellness: - Physical Health and Fitness - Mental & Emotional Health - Spiritual and Personal Growth 2) Relationships: - Primary Relationship - Family Relationships - Social (Friends and Community) Relationships 3) Prosperity/Financial: - Income Now - Money Management - Freedom & Financial Peace 4) Purpose: - Business and Career - Life purpose Clarity & Fulfillment - Contribution & Legacy 5) Creative Flow: - Fun & Level of Life Engagement - Adventure & Expansion - Creative Pursuits I recommend you use a ‘Wheel of Life’ type exercise to evaluate how satisfied or dissatisfied you are in that area and then compare this to where you are in your conscious creation learning and mastery cycle.
<<As my Happy Thanksgiving gift to you, here's the Wheel of Life that I use personally.>> Now, back to sharing the principles of conscious creation with our children. Here are a few ways in which you can teach by example: • Show them your goals and dreams. • Allow them to watch and listen as you envision and give thanks, daily. • Allow them to witness you taking consistent action towards your goals. • Pull out your goal journal every morning. Write down your top 6 goals for life – daily. Close your eyes and envision them, and let them become curious about what you do every morning. • At dinner, pull out your victory log and write down your victories and ask your children to talk about ‘what they did well today’ and ‘what they are proud of’ and ‘what they are grateful for’. • Schedule full-moon creation parties: a fantastic reason to stay up late, play with the kids, and launch visions of what you want by the light of the full moon! I welcome your feedback and of course your own ideas about how to share the Universal Laws with your family. I appreciate you and look forward to hearing of your success! Much Love, Light, Laughter and Enlightenment! Copyright, 2011 CreataVision Enterprises, Anisa Aven. Please feel free to share - Free Reprint Rights.

11-11-11 A Spiritual Mind Treatment for Activating & Commanding Higher Consciousness Experience for All – 11-11-11
Category: conscious creation,Creative Manifesting,emotional freedom technique,global transformation,law of attraction — Anisa @ 6:57 pm
I love all the Hoopla about 11-11-11! And, it's not because I'm convinced of all the whoo-whoo hoopla about portals and extra-terrestrial beings of light, either. Since, a "believer" can't prove it to me and a "skeptic" cannot disprove it, I'm allowing myself to stand in the middle and catch a flying carpet ride! For me, the portal of light and global transformation day of 11-11-11 may be true or it may be crazy. It doesn't matter - because WE, as conscious creators, get to dance with the energy of pure-transformation and pure-manifestations with thousands of others! Does it actually matter whether some earth-shattering, spiritual portal shift is occuring or not? I don't know?!? But, I do know that all over the globe, people are meditating together on sustainability, health, wholeness, transformation, peace, love, prosperity, enlightenment AND JOY! We are holding our thoughts together - collectively - to experience more GOD more of the time. How cool is that?!?!
So, here's my personal prayer... I hope you'll join with me and launch an incredible vision with me!
A Spiritual Mind Treatment 11-11-11 Activating and Commanding Higher Consciousness Experience for All I claim my Divine Right to pure belief, pure harmony and pure oneness with the Divine Energy that creates worlds. I am so humbled by the sheer power of love and that I, as Love's servant, get to access and command its power with such a simple but direct intention. I acknowledge that there is but ONE TRUE source for all creation and that SOURCE is the Divine; that SOURCE is LOVE, PEACE, WHOLENESS, BEAUTY, JOY, PROSPERITY, and PURE MANIFESTATION. That SOURCE is a benevolent GOD/Creative Mechanism that responds with precise obedience to my request for greater connection to the all- that-is. Wow! I dance with joyous delight as I recognize that the ALL-THAT-IS is right here, where I AM. I AM one with the Divine energy of LOVE and TRANSFORMATION and if this is TRUE for me, then it must be the TRUTH for all beings. Therefore, I claim our direct link to powerful, manifestation abilities. I claim our direct connection and ever-increasing acceptance of the power to intentionally manifest beautiful joy and ample supplies for all soul’s personal and physical fulfillment. Do you hear me?! I am OWNING my ability to be a powerful manifestor ONE with the DIVINE SOURCE that creates all LOVE, PROSPERITY, AND JOY! Whoo hoo! Dear God – thank you for helping me to understand and fully embrace the Divine Order of our world. Thank you for supporting me in not becoming consumed or obsessed about injustices and the trials and tribulations, and the suffering while still inspiring me to take Divine Right Action aligned with justice, and a more balanced, fair, and conscious solution. Help me to understand that while all-things-are-perfect- exactly-as-they-are, we are conscious creators that get to direct the flow and it’s absolutely a part of our Divine, collective plan to intend greater CONSCIOUSNESS. I choose Health, Wealth, and Wholeness for all. I GET to hold and accept this vision for myself and I choose to HOLD and ACCEPT this manifestation for our world as well. I acknowledge that we manifested this world and therefore the elements of climate change are OUR manifestational results. Thus, I reclaim our planet and give thanks that all systems required for a sustainable future are instantly and immediately greased for flowing movement. I acknowledge that those who have served as the ‘climate deniers’ are now embracing truth and actively support the ‘spreading-of-the- solution’. I am thankful for the spiritual activists and those who vocalize solutions in a positive and powerful way. I know we are powerful enough to create a positive world, full of ample supply, resources, and the heightened consciousness required for global care and relief from unsustainable ideas. I am grateful that today we leap with joy into higher and more evolved frequency. I give thanks that we collectively WAKE UP! We awaken and embrace the Presence of God in each person that we behold, no matter who they are or where they come from. I ask for guidance as I walk with the intention of fierce kindness. I choose to be kind at all times while fiercely and courageously acting upon the intention of conscious evolution. I seek guidance from the light of the Divine to know how to speak and share the vision in such a way as to make it accessible and acceptable by all. And, I detach knowing that the crowd that is required for a global shift is already in partnership with me. I seek to be of service and ask to be a servant leader aligned with the Divine Love that this transformative dream expresses. I seek to serve my brothers and sisters on this planet, mammals and non, enlightened ones and others. I give thanks that during this transition that suffering be minimal. Because I CAN ask for ease - I ask for it! Because I CAN ask for minimal suffering - I ask for it! I am grateful that all disconnection from SOURCE be transmuted into loving, joyous connection. I ask for a higher vibration to warm us like a soft blanket in winter. I specifically ask that we, as a collective species, wake up and learn the lessons we need to from our most current planetary trials. I hold the intention of pure recovery for Japan and that all future generations be immune from the fallout of the recent Tsunami, Earthquake and Nuclear meltdown. I hold the intention of the Gulf of Mexico, restored and abundant with healthy, wildlife. I hold the intention of Haiti as rebuilt and brought back to love and life in a renewed plan for wholeness and prosperity. I hold the intention of No. Korea’s flood-troubles eliminated as they now experience an open-and-loving influx of support and nourishment – so that all children have a full-belly and ample fresh water. I intend loving kindness to spread like fresh spring sunshine to struggling parents so that children may experience the love and happiness they deserve. I am grateful for the complete and immediate manifestation of these things now. All this and greater things are happening now, and I don’t have to know how. I release this WORD into the LAW where it is made manifest – in perfect order and timing, with the Divine hand of Grace. I am grateful to be flying as a lightworker on floating feathers of Divinity, blessed and blissed out – so be it! It is done! >>>>>~~~~~~ A few Spiritual Activist Ideas that I'm engaging in, personally.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>> Global 11-11-11 Meditation: www.FireTheGrid.com ~~~~ Climate Reality Project: This fall, there's a wonderful opportunity for you to help people in your community learn the truth about climate change.

Get More Done In Less Time – The Creative Manifestors Way
Category: law of attraction — Anisa @ 11:34 am
Getting More Done – in Less Time: The Creative Manifesting way.
Imagine how productive you would be, if you had “more than 24 hours in a day”? Just consider, what would it be like if you took consistent, inspired and impactful action towards your goals?
Many of us are bound by the limitation of “there’s only 24 hours in a day” or worse the limiting belief of “I’m a perpetual procrastinator”.
However, there are some people that are able to squeeze in more accomplishments in the very same 24 hours. Some super-achievers make it appear as though they’ve discovered the secret to expanding time. Are they really working that much harder and faster than everybody else? Do they really have supernatural abilities?
Perhaps. Maybe the super-achievers are both better time-managers AND they have learned to expand time by manifesting it!
As a fellow conscious creator, you’ll appreciate the fact that THERE IS a secret manifesting trick to getting more done in less time. However, in my experience, it must be used in conjunction with some tried-and-true time-management practices.
Bruce Lee, considered the most influential martial artist of our time once said, “An extraordinary Man is an ordinary man with extreme focus.”
Isn’t it interesting that successful manifesting depends on FOCUS too! What we focus upon expands. We attract into our lives that which we put the most attention upon. In regards to getting more done in less time, I have a three step process:
First – Identify WHAT to FOCUS upon.
Second –FOCUS upon the vision/intention of the ideal outcome before ever taking action.
Third – Take inspired, consistent ACTION towards the vision.
Here’s my personal blueprint for taking the above three step process and leveraging it in my life:
How to Get More Done in Less Time – (by expanding time)!
Step 1) Top 6 Goals for Life:
I write down my top 6 goals for life every day (Yes, every day!) This list I will use later to compare what I’m currently attending to and ask myself, “Is this task/goal aligned with my top 6 goals?” And, when the answer is a wishy-washy yes or a no, then it comes off my task list. (For more on my goal setting process, you can read the full post here: http://www.creatavision.com/wordpress/my-personal-top-6-goals-for-life/
Step 2) Visualize and Claim Your Day!
“This is how I intend to feel at the end of my day, today:”
(HINT: Most people skip this step. As a conscious creator, do yourself a favor and ALWAYS line up your energy with the end result before you EVER begin!)
Each day is different for me, but here’s sample claimed intention:
“I am so grateful that my day was so incredibly productive and joyful. I received so many blessings and the Divine led me to know just what to do at just the right moment for maximum benefit. I feel super productive, effective, and passionate. I feel energized and enthusiastic about my accomplishments. I was so pleasantly surprised at the sheer number of inspirational moments and supportive resources that crawled out of the woodwork to make my day delightful and wonderful. I’m also really excited that my challenge with ‘this project’ was resolved today – that was such a win! I am proud to say that I was a loving and kind person and today I made a difference. I know I made this day count and I am grateful.”
Step 3) Brain Dump:
I rattle off my big all-encompassing Brain Dumped ‘todo’ list as fast as I possibly can. This list will include things like “do the laundry” and “take a nap” in addition to “create proposal for new company,” “train new assistant on portal process,” “review SEO proposal,” etc.
We are all crazy busy with our lives. We each have a myriad of people vying for our time and attention (children, spouse, pets, family, co-workers, neighbors, friends, work-out buddies, etc.) and even more distractions causing us to chase shiny things (Television, internet, email, text messages, phone calls, doorbells, laundry, etc.)
Until you get it ALL out of your head and onto the paper, you cannot possibly ask the BIG U (Universe) to handle some of the items and you will not be able to properly schedule and prioritize how to focus on the really important items.
If you are one of those people who believes you can manage it all in your head, take note: studies have shown that list-makers get more done than their counterparts, so don’t be a non-listmaker.
Step 4: Eat That Frog!
I learned that if I only do ONE thing a day – it’s Eat my Frog first.
What?! It’s priceless wisdom from Brian Tracy’s book Eat that Frog! Your frog is your most difficult task and you always want to eat it first.
I love, love, love this book (Here’s a really cute video about it – http://www.eatthatfrogmovie.com/ ). If you do your most difficult task first, then the rest of the day will be a breeze! But, if you put off your most difficult task, it eats at YOU; it literally drains your energy without you even realizing it.
Your frog is often the task stymied with procrastination and yet quite often this very same task once complete will be THE ONE task that has the greatest impact on your goals!
Therefore, look at your brain-dumped list – circle the Frogs. Choose one now and do it or schedule a specific, sacred time to do it in the next 8 to 12 hours (no longer.)
Step 5: Prioritize:
Every item gets the following ranking A, B, C, or D:
A = UI: Urgent and Important
B = INU: Important but not Urgent
C =UNI: Urgent but not Important
D= NUNI: Not Urgent and Not Important
Step 6) Identify your Pareto’s Leverage:
Take a look at your list and answer the Pareto’s Principle question: Which of these tasks falls into the top 20% of activities that will produce 80% of the results (or revenue)? Highlight the winners (they usually come from your A/B list). These become your most important activities.
Step 7) Choose 5!
Of the entire list, choose no more than 5 “todos” as your committed focus for the day (not including your frog, which you’ve already done!). Two of which must be from the IMPORTANT BUT NOT URGENT category, and one MUST be from the Winning Pareto’s Leverage Tasks (from step 4).
[6 total, 2=INU, 1=Pareto, 1=Frog, +2 more your choice.]
Step 
Chunk it down.
Of the 6 items you’ve selected, do you have the first step identified? If not, then reverse engineer it. What’s everything that has to happen before this can happen? Repeat this question until you find the ONE action that you can take Right Now, Today. You must be able to take ONE BITE at a TIME of your bigger projects or you’ll get stuck before you even get started.
(Hint: If you are really stuck and procrastinating, see if you have a HUGE task in front of you or a 10 minute task. If your task is more than 10 minutes, then you need to chunk it down to a bite-sized morsel to get unstuck. Even if it’s ‘write a novel’, all prolific writers will tell you that if they have 10 minutes, they have time to write! If you’re staring at a task that will take longer than 10 minutes, ask yourself what can I do with this in 10 minutes? Chunk it down!
Step 9) Hand over the non-essential, non-critical items to God.
Yes, God and I talk every day about all the action items (and goals/ideas/issues) that I just can’t find the time or inspiration to handle right now. And, amazingly enough He/She handles many of them for me. Perfect example – this past Monday was Halloween. Well, I forgot to pick up candy so I wrote it on God’s todo list and my honey must have been listening because he brought home the candy (lots of Twix bars too!) Another example – I have these beautiful collector plates that I’ve been meaning to buy plate racks to display them. I assigned this to “God’s” side of my todo list. This last weekend, I had this compelling urge to stop at a garage sale. I swear I stop at garage sales maybe once or twice a year – tops! But, I knew I felt strongly that I needed to stop. And, there waiting for me were the exact number of beautiful, wrought iron, plate holders I required, at fantastic price of $5.00!
I can hear it now, “Okay, Anisa, that might work for the little things but will it work for….??” The answer is yes. I have a dear friend that I’ve lost contact with. She’s now on God’s todo list. I have every confidence that we’ll be in touch soon, and I do not have to do the ‘leg-work’ to make that happen. I ask God to handle my corporate proposals and negotiations, new contracts and contractors, and more. This is a beautiful way to leverage the power of the universe – ask for help, it will be delivered!
Sidenote: I wrote this article a few days ago and at the same time, unbeknownst to me, my friend posted on my facebook wall! Wow, thanks Universe that was fast!
Step 10) Line up Your Energy and Take ACTION!
Envision your success again! It’ll take you all of 30 seconds to imagine a successful phone-call, or a clean home, or a winning proposal. Feel the energy and enthusiasm traverse through you by imagining that the end result of this action was ideal, beautiful, aligned, and easy. Hold the vision of resources, knowledge, and proven strategies lined up before you – effortlessly to support you. The more you imagine this scenario the ‘luckier’ and more ‘magical’ your entire life will become.
I can speak with confidence on this one. When I line up my energy, the Universe moves mountains for me. When I don’t, I’m stuck trying to move the mountains on my own.
In the next couple of weeks, I will include some EFT tapping examples for overcoming procrastination and becoming a super-achiever, super-manifestor, action-taker too… so watch your inbox.

How do I know if I’m visualizing correctly?
Category: conscious creation,law of attraction,LOA doesn't work for me,NLP — Anisa @ 9:41 pm
Dear Anisa – (Re: It only takes 17 seconds of pure-belief to launch a creation) So, does this include writing with a pure thought for 17 seconds then? Also can you give me tips on how to actually visualize for 17 seconds straight and actually staying focused? And, how do we know we are actually visualizing? I do get a mental image but it’s like it’s pushed to the back of my mind, and not clear like seeing through my eyes, if that makes sense? – Peppa
(Peppa’s question originated from my other article here.)
Hello Peppa,
OH YES… Writing is a fantastic way to get to 17 seconds of pure-belief! I suggest setting a timer (I usually set my timer for 10 minutes) and speed-write – allow yourself to flow positive, intentional, grateful thoughts towards what you want and intend to create.
If something negative comes out, notice it and finish the sentence but then scratch it out and redo that thought, until you get it just right.
Regarding the second part of your question: (staying focused, am I really doing it right.)
Instead of ‘visualization’, perhaps ‘forecasting’ is a better description.
First, let’s look at your primary learning and living modality. Are you Visual, Auditory or Kinesthetic mostly?
Some of us are simply not visual and instead we hear and/or feel the future as opposed to ‘seeing’ it. This is absolutely the perfect way for you. The goal is to forecast your future the same way you might choose your evening’s activities.
For example, how do you determine what to cook for dinner? Do you see the dinner you are about to create before you reach for the ingredients? Or do you have an inner-dialogue that directs you accordingly? Or perhaps you do not see/hear or talk to yourself but you have an ‘impression’ that you follow, a feeling that guides you to organize your cooking expedition?
While everyone uses all learning styles (visual / auditory/ kinesthetic /olfactory-gustatory) to some degree, one is usually more dominant than another.
If you see the dinner, then visualization may be the right word for you.
If you have an internal dialogue, then it’s possible that talking and dialoguing your way through it is more akin to your learning style and thus will enable you to feel more confident when forecasting your intentions.
If you experience a feeling or an impression, then imagine the end result and allow the impression or feeling to forecast your future consciously.
Now, let’s look at the last part of your question, possibly the most important aspect that you may not even be aware can be changed. You wrote: “I do get a mental image but it’s like it’s pushed to the back of my mind, and not clear like seeing through my eyes, if that makes sense?”
Yes, it makes perfect sense. Where we store our images including our past and future memories can be very telling about whether or not we are actively engaging in pure-belief or not. For example, you shared with us that your mind stores the ‘image’ of the future you want ‘pushed to the back of your mind’ and by reading through the lines, I guesstimate that you recognize this is not quite right; you sense that because it’s pushed to the back of your mind there’s something amiss about the visualization. Thus the question, “How do I know I’m actually visualizing correctly?”
>>>> I’m so excited to share this with you… I’m actually dancing in my chair!!! >>>>
Okay… here’s what you want to do. In the official vernacular, you want to do an NLP (Neuro-Linguistics Programming) process known as adjusting the sub-modalities. In layman’s terms, you want to pack-up and move where you store your ‘desired goals’ to be in the same warehouse as your ‘completed items’.
Let me explain WHY… No, let me illustrate…
Think of something in your life that brings you joy and pleasure and that you are 100% certain exists.
Now, where is that thought located? Is it inside or outside your body? (No, don’t think too much about it, just answer.) Is it in color or black and white? Is it close up or in the distance, straight ahead, behind you or to the left/right? What is its shape and size? If any of the following is applicable – describe its texture, temperature, tone, dialogue, melody, sensation, contrast. Is it bright or dim, clear or muffled? Does it have a smell or a taste? What? Is it moving or still, 3D or flat? Allow yourself to really ponder these questions. When you are satisfied, write it down – “My certain manifestation is…”
Now… tell me what did you have for breakfast? Is that your usual morning breakfast? What would be an unusual breakfast for you? (Don’t skip this… there’s a method to my madness.)
Okay, now that we’ve discussed your breakfast we can move on.
Think of a goal that you hope to manifest. Choose something that you want but lack real confidence about achieving.
Now, where is that thought located? Is it inside or outside your body? (No, don’t think too much about it, just answer.) Is it in color or black and white? Is it close up or in the distance, straight ahead, behind you or to the left/right? What is its shape and size? If any of the following is applicable – describe its texture, temperature, tone, dialogue, melody, sensation, contrast. Is it bright or dim, clear or muffled? Does it have a smell or a taste? What? Is it moving or still, 3D or flat? Allow yourself to really ponder these questions. When you are satisfied, write it down – “My uncertain manifestation is…”
Compare where you stored your CERTAIN experience with where you store your UNCERTAIN experience. You will inevitably discover that there are differences. Perhaps they are vastly different or perhaps there is only a few subtle differences. For the purpose of clarify, you may journal about the differences.
Next, imagine that your “uncertain goal” is morphing into the same location, look, feel, sound, texture, shape, size, etc. as your “certain manifestation.” Take your time and trust your imagination – encourage yourself to intentionally move it.
If it gets ‘murky’ – write it down; itemizing each descriptive element and one by one applying the CERTAIN descriptives to the UNCERTAIN goal.
Make note of how that feels? Does it feel odd or scary? Or, does it feel more certain and exciting?
If you feel weird and like – “OH no, what if this really happens now?!?!” It may be time to reconsider what you say you really want and the price you are willing (or not willing) to pay to have it.
If you feel more certain, hopeful, and like – “that visualization rocked”, then relax and begin to prepare to receive what you’ve just ordered.
Try this exercise – try it on something you REALLY, REALLY want and something that you would be happy to have, but content without. See what happens!
Let me know how you use this in your life! I know you’ll love it.
Lots of love and light, Anisa

How to Create a Commited State (One that Will Help You GET MORE of What You Want!)
Category: law of attraction — Anisa @ 5:58 pm
One of the coolest things about the way our brain works is we can influence and mold it intentionally; we can employ intentional patterns to super-impose neurological imprints, which ultimately trick and influence what we experience and how we show up in life.
Visualization, Meditation, EFT, Quantum Jumping, affirmations – all serve as intentional methods for influencing our vibrational offering. I define our vibrational offering as our personal, magnetic field that either attracts or repels what we want and what we need.
When what we are doing just isn’t working due to a lack of resources or an inability to maintain a specifc ‘vibrational offering’, we can take advantage of the ‘way our brain works’ and intentionally create a state that is more aligned, more consistent, and more reliable than our wishful ideologies.
Let me see if I can be more clear….
Do you ever have a BELIEF that you wish you could fully embrace but you just can’t find a strong source of conviction within to enforce it?
For example, “I’m lovable exactly as I am”… many people want to believe and know they ‘should’ believe they are lovable, just because they were born, but just as many never actually ALLOW themselves to fully embrace “I am lovable just because” and the corresponding, glorious ramifications of this kind of self-love.
What about a WAY OF LIFE or a PHILOSOPHY that you wish you possessed but just miss the mark when it comes to execution.
For example, “I live each day with no regrets” or “I forgive my loved ones easily” or “Kindness is more important than righteousness”? There’s a way to influence our ‘brain’ so that we are stronger and more consistent when implementing a new philosophy such as one of the aforementioned credos.
What about a PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTIC that you wished were more a part of your make-up? For example: kindness, tenacity, resilience, or resourcefulness? Some people believe, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” and thus a person either has these characteristics or they don’t. We know this to be nothing more than a lame excuse to be lazy and inflexible! Specific characteristics are built (or rejected) as we experience life. However, those of us who are personal growth enthusiasts (or is that addicts?) know that we can intentionally choose to build a specific characteristic; intentionally choose activities that require ‘kindness’ or ‘tenacity’ in order to intentionally exercise that specific trait. By being at choice, we can garner success more naturally and be more prepared when that trait is really needed.
Let me state this again: We can CHOOSE to intentionally direct our neurological systems to BELIEVE what we choose with greater conviction, to adapt to a SPECIFIC PHILOSOPHY with spontaneous adherence and to embrace a valuable PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTIC instantly.
A great way to do this is with NLP anchoring.
I use this process often with clients with awesome results. When something is ‘anchored’ we react automatically. As an example, there are many things that are anchored in your mind right now and when I say the ‘words’ they will trigger certain ideas, memories, or responses within you (notice what happens when you see the following):
My country’s flag
Peace Sign
Santa Clause
Just as the above images were likely to bring forth memories, stories, feelings, and thoughts (or all of the above) when we anchor a specific characteristic intentionally, you will be more likely to react automatically when that trait is needed.
Here’s a great process (there are many, this is just one fantastic one):
Anchor a More Resourceful state
- Choose the resource (value/belief/trait/philosophy) that you want to strengthen.
- Imagine there’s a symbol/shape on the floor in front of you. Whatever your choose is fine.
- Really consider that symbol: What color is it?
- What shape and size is it?
- Does it have any sounds or voices associated with it? What?
- Does it have a texture or characteristics that you can describe?
- Break state – by shaking your head and hands a bit and clapping a few times.
- Remember a positive experience when that resource was utilized in your life.
- (Hint: Find the examples that are the closest to what you want. If really cannot find one, then recall a time when someone close to you demonstrated that characteristic.)
- Allow yourself to remember this experience fully. See it. Taste it. Smell it. Feel it. Hear it. What do you see? What do you feel? What do you smell? What do you hear? What did you say to yourself? What were others saying? What were you doing? What were they doing?
- Now, at the peak of this memory, step forward – into your symbol.
- Take a deep, life-affirming, confident breath. And, as you breathe in, imagine the symbol vibrating with this memory and becoming more and more a part of who you are. Imagine the symbol rising up and around you becoming 3-D and gently penetrating every cell and every atom within you with this ‘resource’.
- As your emotions descend again, take a step back. Once again seeing the symbol before you.
- Now, repeat two to three more times. Think of another time when that resource (or something very similar) was your experience. Remember it in detail. At the peak, step into your symbol. Imagine the symbol vibrating with the resource and becoming a part of who you are internally and externally. Wherever you ARE the symbol IS.
- Future pace it. Think of a time in the future when this resource would be beneficial. Go into that future memory now and imagine your symbol, step into it, see it engulfing you. Now, respond to the situation. How are you different? Is the resource readily available? Do you want to strengthen it?
If you feel like it needs to be stronger, repeat the anchoring process above. If you feel the future paced ‘memory’ was solid, then go into three or four future moments to really solidify.
Of course, anchors are built by repetition. I have found that there are times when I anchor a resource and for whatever reason, it was READY to be anchored and one time is enough for life. Other times I have to anchor a resource three or four times over a week or so to really make it a part of who I am now.
Recently a client wished she loved exercise so that she would be more consistent and reliable. So, we used this exercise to anchor “I love exercising” and “I love moving and being physical.” However, I messed up the recording so I re-recorded it – which means you get to use it too!
Here it is:
Let me know how you use this in your life! I know you’ll love it.
Lots of love and light, Anisa

How the brutal attack on my father caused a spiritual awakening for me.
Category: law of attraction — Anisa @ 2:45 am
A personal, spiritual achievement… out of one shameful act and one life-threatening predicament comes a deeper understanding of what emotional freedom really means.
Where do I begin? Do I start with how my 70-year-old father fought off two violent attackers and not only survived but probably convinced them to quit being thugs altogether? Yes, that seems very important.
But, wait. Maybe, since we are passionate about manifesting and the law of attraction, I should share how this attack was created in the first place, or perhaps the lesson underneath the experience? Yes, that’s important too.
But, wait. Something else… something more profoundly life-changing-and-spirit-affirming has occurred. I am grateful for my father’s miracle survival and for experiencing an awakening; or is it an awareness of an awakening? Perhaps, my personal lesson is an awareness of what true emotional freedom really feels like; a conscious awareness of what real equanimity and connection with spirit is like, even when the most disturbing, Earthly challenges come into play. Yes, that’s it – that’s really important.
But, I may be inadequate to fully explain it… and, what if I can’t find the words to share this in a way that is meaningful and accomplishes my real intent?
4:11 AM, I awaken with these questions. In that wispy place between sleep and consciousness, images flash… a clenched fist holding an ice-pick, stabbing down motion, my father blocking the attack, a struggle, running, furniture slamming to the ground, gunshots, blood… the police.
Then I take a deep breath and I release; followed by a perplexed but serene assessment of my emotions. It’s been a crazy month… why am I so calm, in spite of recent events?
Perhaps I will start with my intention: My intention is to be a bridge-builder; a light-worker that sheds a little light on the pathway between unconscious existence and intentional, transformative and peaceful living. My intention is to put the spotlight upon what happens when we engage persistently in the pursuit of improvement. Even when enlightenment isn’t the stated goal, personal growth work transforms us in enlightening ways.
When my father shared with me what happened, tears welled up in my eyes as I examined the puncture wound. When the police and medics arrived, they had to remove the ice-pick from his hand as his defensive instincts had blocked the attack. He described in detail the two surly, muscular men that broke into his warehouse. I found myself listening… intensely but softly and without fear. Then I couldn’t help but laugh as he boasted (a rightly earned boast, I may add) about how they didn’t expect an ‘old man,’ as he calls himself, to fight back. He certainly held his own as the trail of blood left not only clues but confirmation that his aim was steady enough to make sure they didn’t come back anytime soon. I find myself calm as the mixture of conflicting thoughts rise and fall within me. “I’m so grateful he had a gun.” Followed by, “I’m so glad he didn’t kill them.” Followed by… “…that’s silly, they were attacking him!” Followed by… “Be still, Anisa. This is part of a bigger plan that doesn’t require my understanding or my approval.”
I observed as family reacted according to each of their unique personalities, fears, and belief systems; terror, anger and even admonishment of my father. And, I realized that my own reaction – alert and responsive but calm and centered, was a result of my obsessive commitment to my personal growth work. The countless hours spent meditating, EFT tapping, quantum jumping, time-line collapsing, Neuro-Linguistics programming, etc.
Could this sense of peace be the pay-off? It wasn’t what I was going for. When I tap or do an NLP exercise, I have a very tangible goal in mind like “I intend to manifest a vacation” or “I intend to improve communications with my honey” or “I intend to have a great party with friends”, etc. It’s never been “I intend to experience emotional freedom from this point forward – absolute equanimity, enlightenment and peace no matter what’s happening around me.”
But, perhaps… just maybe, it’s possible… that there’s this incredible, golden ticket hidden inside all this work; a golden ticket to emotional freedom, so sublime and delicious, it’s almost impossible to put into words.
Rewind… to Memorial Day and the boat predicament…
My honey and I decide to take the boat out for a night-run on the lake. It’s our first summer weekend on the boat. The boat’s running great and the kiddos are inside with my sister, so why not?!?! We tootle (actually, my honey has a serious “need for speed” as he calls it… so tootling is not accurate, but you get the point) around the lake. I’m acutely aware of the hazards of night-time boat driving, so I’m intentionally alert while enjoying the fresh, clean nighttime air and my billowing face. We love every minute of our night-time ride then just as we are about to head back to the dock, we decide to float for a minute… it was only a minute….
Next thing I know… we are too close to the rocks. He puts the engine in reverse and the engine shrieks with paralysis. “What just happened?!” The rocks are now getting closer and closer and we can’t get the boat to budge. Now, we are in the water trying to figure out what just happened. Nylon Rope! We had picked up a rope during our floating pause and now that rope was a stubborn straightjacket around our prop. The waves are like wrecking balls beating us into the rocky shore.
In a very dangerous predicament now… my honey swims under the boat, attempting to unravel the rope while each wave crashes the boat into the dirt and rocks now very much beneath us. He has to time each submerged attempt between waves in order to prevent being crushed between the rocks, the boat, and the prop. I provide very little physical help as I do not possess the upper body strength to steady the boat nor help with the rope.
As I shivver uncontrollably in the cold, cold water, I realize the gravity of the situation and that I am not afraid. I’m actually fearless. For one brief moment, I wonder who I am, “who is this person in my skin?” Even though, this is a very hairy predicament… a life-threatening, dangerous moment in our lives… I’m still peaceful. In fact, I’m confident, calm and clear-minded as I talk to God. “Thank you, God. Thank you for giving us the talent and strength to get off these rocks and get back to shore safely. So be it.”
Well, you know the ending to this story already. My honey used his super-hero sense of timing and strength to untangle the rope and I clicked into a ‘manifesting maven’ as I commanded the waves, the boat, the rope, the rocks and the Universe to cooperate; with unwavering faith in their immediate compliance, I gave thanks and released it.
I share these stories with you today… because I believe both events had a purpose that goes beyond ‘a story to tell’ and into an opportunity to become aware of awareness.
For me, this illustrates what is often referred to as UnConscious Competence – when we have practiced a skill so many times that when the skill is required, we effortlessly and by default perform the task with unconscious ease.
Please understand, I know I’m not done. There will be many more opportunities for growth.
And, I believe that there’s a rich reward awaiting those who stay the course of personal growth – specifically those who challenge themselves to neutralize their limiting beliefs and eliminate negative emotions. Emotional freedom is glorious and empowering.
I continue to feel a magnificent range of emotions. In fact, all emotions are accessible whenever I choose to use them. However, I am hopeful that this ‘soul-work’ will continue to abate the negative consequences of being at the mercy of unconstructive emotions and continue instead to create a safe harbor for peaceful mindfulness in any situation.
I have kept this Buddhist quote around for years, not fully understanding it until now:
The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming to the world’s ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.
Atisha
Did I satisfy my intention? I hope the message I’ve conveyed is: The work you do to eliminate your negative thoughts and limiting beliefs brings you closer to the Divine; and will ultimately culminate in a pure, detached awareness and serene emotional freedom. I hope you can see what’s in store for you, how incredible this freedom can be and choose to confidently stay the course.
Have comments/questions? Please post them here. I will do my best to respond and very much appreciate your feedback.

Category: attract relationship,Audios Free Downloads,emotional freedom technique,law of attraction,Surrogate EFT,Videos — Anisa @ 7:05 pm
Q: How to consciously create when your Dream (or Wish) depends on someone else’s cooperation.
Last week I shared with you the answer to our friend’s question:
Dear Anisa, I love my husband but I’m not happy….. (you can see the full article on my blog here.)
And, I promised to share an example of how to use Surrogate EFT to get what you want in your relationships, so here it is…
The Surrogate EFT Points:
- S – Sore Spot (or KC Karate Chop point on side of hand)
- EB – Inner Eye Brow
- OE – Outer Eye
- UE – Under Eye
- UN – Under Nose
- CH – Chin
- CB – Collar Bone
- UA – Under Arm
- RR – Right Rib
- H- Head (Crown Chakra)
Step 1) Surrogate EFT – Set your Intention:
“Universe/God – my intention is to create a more loving and harmonious relationship with my husband. If the words that I speak are not aligned with our mutual, highest and best good, then I ask they go forth and help someone else. I intend for this work to influence our relationship in positive ways according to our mutual desires. Thank you for this creative power and manifestation, now.”
Surrogate EFT Example:
1) SS/KC – Even though, I, John, feel frustrated that my wife is unhappy and I just can’t please her, I love and accept myself.
Even though, You, John, are neglecting your love responsibilities at home, leaving your wife feeling lonely and abandoned, you love and accept yourself anyway.
Even though, He, John, is doing the best that he can and is exhausted with work and family responsibilities, he loves and accepts himself anyway.
2) EB- I, John, feel frustrated, why can’t my wife just get off my back?
3) OE – You, John, are neglecting your wife and causing unhappiness by dismissing her needs.
4) UE – He, John, feels like he can’t possibly please everyone, so why bother trying.
5) UN – I, John, am tired of the constant nagging and unhappiness.
6) CH – You, John, are not trying hard enough and you act like you don’t even care.,
7) CB – He, John, is doing the best that he can but has too many burdens to bear.
UA – I, John, wish my wife would just back off and be happy with the way things are.
9) RR – You, John, are neglectful and refuse to pay any attention to your wife.
10) H- Head – He, John, is tired and frustrated and although he wants to please his wife feels like he doesn’t know how anymore.
Repeat the ‘negative’ tapping until you feel a shift towards Neutrality. Neutrality does not feel like apathy but it feels like a peaceful acceptance, “it’s all okay, even as it is.”
Then, implant the positive:
1) SS or KC – Even though I, John, feel frustrated, I am willing to do what I can to make things right.
Even though, you, John, are stretched too thin, you are willing to pay attention to your relationship and show your wife you love her.
Even though, He, John, is exhausted and doesn’t know what to do, he is willing to find creative ways that allow him to connect with his wife and restore thier romance.
2) EB – I, John, am willing and open to rekindle our marriage.
3) OE – You, John, are doing the best you can and you are open to doing what must be done to connect with your wife.
4) UE – He, John, is open and loving; thoughtful and committed to loving his wife.
5) UN – I, John, want to be inspired to show my wife more affection and attention.
6) CH – You, John, are willing and open to having more meaningful conversations with your wife.
7) CB – He, John, is creative and imaginative and feels inspired to be more attentive to his wife.
UA – I, John, find myself thinking more and more about how to connect, talk, and love my wife more fully.
9) RR – You, John, are getting more and more excited about rekindling your relationship with your wife.
10) H- Head He, John, is a loving and giving man. He feels inspired to pay more attention to his wife and family and feels energized and uplifted by his efforts.
I hold the vision of a renewed, loving and fun relationship for you. It is in fact, the ONLY possibility, now.

How to Consciously Create When Your Dream Depends on Another

Q: How to consciously create when your Dream (or Wish) depends on someone else’s cooperation:
Dear Anisa,
I love my husband but I’m not happy. I’m frustrated that he works too much and rarely makes time for us. We talk very little and our once passionate bedroom life is almost non-existent. You might think, “He’s cheating” but that’s not the case. He’s not the cheating type; he wouldn’t have the time or freedom if he were the type and besides I know he loves me too. But, we are both bored and complacent, I suppose. I’ve tried talking until I’m blue in the face, with small progress that seems to backslide within a very short amount of time. My problem is that I’m a pretty good manifestor but I can’t figure this one out! I’ve created a great job making more money than when I was full-time and I’ve lost over 40 pounds (thank you, by the way – I did it and have kept it off for 2 years after taking your EFT & LOA for weight-loss program). I know I did these things with the Law of Attraction… but I’m just stumped now because I don’t know how to create when someone else is involved. How do I get him to want to attend to us? How do I get him to help me bring more fun back into our relationship? – “Shhh!!!” I’m keeping my name a secret for this question. Thanks!
A: Let me start with the bottom-line – the important caveats:
- We cannot create in someone else’s life anything they are also not aligned with.
- We cannot force someone to be aligned with our wish/desire.
- There’s always a yin/yang – a cost/benefit for every manifestation. (Ex: The sun must go down for the moon to come up and vice-versa.)
The Possibilities:
- We CAN influence a compromise and create an outcome that is mutually aligned.
- We CAN fulfill our own needs while maintaining our integrity and honoring our relationships.
- We CAN re-align and re-frame our ‘happiness’ quotient – allowing greater happiness with less need for external input.
We are either moving towards what we want, or away from it. Learn to analyze which way you’re headed so you can immediately course-correct when needed.
In relationships, picking apart what’s not working, focusing on all the things our partner is doing wrong or obsessing about the things our mate is not doing can become a sick habit. So obsessive and destructive that it can (and often does) destroy the love and kindness that once inspired us to move mountains together.
A healthy relationship begins with accepting our mate exactly as they are. Love, in its honest and purest form, is unconditional acceptance. From this place of unconditional acceptance, we are poised to leverage the Universal Laws in a very masterful way – but only after we’ve surrendered to what IS as absolutely perfect, in and of itself.
Let’s address what unconditional acceptance does not mean. Accepting our mate does not mean we are willing to be abused or taken for granted. Full, unconditional acceptance does not mean we are willing to sacrifice our souls and personal dreams/ boundaries/values to be with them, it simply means they get to be who they want to be, without exception; and when they choose to BE unkind or immoral then we get to choose not to be with them, in spite of the fact that we still accept them as a person.
Thus, accepting your mate exactly as they are is step #1. Any and all judgments that you hold regarding what he is or is not doing must be completely and totally released. All criticisms and resentments must be forgiven, now. Forget about manifesting anything until you’ve completed this step. In fact, as soon as you commit to forgiving, releasing, and accepting him exactly as he is right now, as a perfect child of God, doing the best he can, given who he is and what he knows up until now, you’ll discover there are many things you appreciate about him, right now. You’ll begin to notice the things he’s doing ‘right’ and less of your attention will dwell on what’s wrong. This is a natural by-product of full-force acceptance.
Once you’ve mastered ‘full-acceptance’ then manifesting greater love, romance, connection, fun, and adventure will be a matter of expansion. Like any other conscious creation, you want to act as if you had it now, in order to manifest it. You want to SEE it and BELIEVE it, now. You want to FOCUS on expanding upon what’s right and wonderful, in order to capitalize on the energy of love that is already flowing and thus re-direct some of that creative force to new adventures and experiences of connection with your mate.
You want to create a masterpiece of beautiful love and fulfillment in your mind and heart that is so enjoyable, it will naturally manifest externally.
Launch the visions of love and connection as you desire them, fully willing to detach from the outcome; willing to be happy with or without their manifestation. Then, go about fulfilling your own happiness needs. Gone are the days of depending upon your mate for self-fulfillment. Do you need conversation and connection, re-engage with friends and make new friends. GET those needs met in an honorable fashion elsewhere. Do you need adventure? Choose to take yourself out – enjoy a movie, go for a walk, or plan a vacation. Create adventure with yourself while envisioning the perfect adventure with your mate.
One primary source of dysfunction in modern relationships is this idea that our mate must fulfill all of our needs to have a happy marriage. It’s a recipe for failure! We all have different social and relational needs; expecting and demanding that our mate meet all of these needs is ridiculous. Re-energize your life by giving yourself permission to have a relationship with yourself and simultaneously increase your social circle by seeking out uplifting friends and engaging activities.
Now, I realize I’ve shared with you ‘What’ you need to do, but I’ve neglected to share with you ‘How’ to do it. Don’t worry, I don’t plan to leave you hanging! Next week, I will share with you some methods for releasing the old and creating the new. I will share with you a powerful process that will utilize both the law of attraction and Surrogate EFT. In the mean time, make a commitment to begin full-force acceptance now.
I hold the vision of a renewed, loving and fun relationship for you. It is in fact, the ONLY possibility, now.
