A warm hello from Oribel

Hello Friends,

Thank you for visiting my blog. If you are looking for inspiration and empowerment you’ve come to the right place.

Apart from articles I've written based on my own personal experiences I have included suggested affirmations, intentions, prayers, visualizations, meditations, ideologies and a whole lot more. I have personally benefited from them - I gained more self-confidence, learned about self-love, self-acceptance and self-respect, overcoming fears created by years of conditionings, tackled self-doubt, self-worth and self-esteem issues. And I’m learning to trust myself more and more each day.

I invite you to open heart and empty your mind and pick any subject that you are drawn to. Take only the information that resonates with you and leave the rest behind as they are here for others. You see, each of us have different lessons to learn in this life. Much of which is to overcome different types of fears - fear of being lonely, fear of rejection, fear of failure, well you're getting the picture. And, hence, we need different tools in our lives as we seek to discover ourselves and to turn our challenges into life lessons. With self-knowledge comes true power.

And always know that you have much to give the world by just being you....the authentic you that is. And also remember that when you reach a higher truth be prepared to let go of older ones that no longer serve you. That's how we evolve and expand.

Happy journeys,
Oribel

Joy

Joy is your natural state. Learn to feel the joy at your core.

Once you develop a habit of feeling the joy, all other pursuits in your life will be easier. Turn your life upside down. Find the happiness right now, inside you, then merrily pursue the rest at your leisure. This is the secret of a master.

Four Steps to Joy

Step 1. At the core of you is a flame - the flame of joy. When you imagine your joy as a flame, you are reaching into other dimensions to reconnect with this ever-present joy and consequently feel more of it in this realm.

Step 2. Close your eyes and imagine bypassing all other thoughts and feelings to get to this flame.
You might pause briefly at other feelings along the way to the central flame of joy.

Step 3. Imagine how the flame looks. Feel the joy that emanates from it.
Where in your body do you see the flame? Maybe your belly. Try experimenting with the flame. Imagine it growing large, engulfing you entirely. Imagine the flame changing colors. See the intricate workings of the base around the flame.

Step 4. Continue to focus on the joy emanating from the flame. As you do so, you will find your level of joy increases.
No matter how the world is faring, you can find the joy within. Then continue on your journey with your tank overflowing with joy. What power you have over your experience in life.

What if I can't feel this flame of joy? If you're unable to feel the joy then you're not yet connecting with your joy aspect in the upper realms. Your imagination is a path to this connection. Engage your imagination by gazing at the colorful image on the joy card. Let it inspire you.

Also look at your beliefs around happiness. Many people have deeply rooted beliefs that they can only be truly happy once their needs are met and their problems disappear. Often these needs don't even serve them to begin with.

The truth is joy is available to you at any time. People on their deathbed experience joy. People in the midst of great trauma can feel joy. Newborn babies are aglow with joy. Let go of the belief that anything in the world is between you and your joy.

“I claim my joy. I choose to reach across the dimensions and connect to my eternal flame of joy. By doing so, joy flows freely into me.”

Now turn down the lights, fire up your imagination, and feel that flame. And.... keep going. Get out of your head and down into your belly. Feel the other feelings then move beyond them to get to the joy.

If you're a tough nut to crack, you might be saying 'I feel something but it's fuzzy'. Well honor that fuzziness and repeat the process once a day minimum for the next week. Create a joy card with the above affirmation and place the joy card in your pocket and pull it out whenever you get the chance.

En-joy Dear One. You are deeply loved for the role you play and your entourage of guides rejoice in being beside you each day

Affirmations for Abundance

Today I found a treasure in Youtube. It is a video featuring great affirmations for ABUNDANCE. It was a joy to watch it as the images that accompanied each affirmation were colourful and beautifully created. It is truly a gem. And it was fun viewing as I pick out the ones I felt would work for me in my life right NOW.

Watch it. And decide which area(s) in your life need divine intervention. I sometimes call it a booster shot. If you want more money in your life, be specific and pick out the one that refers to money or change the words to financial abundance. You need to make your desires crystal clear to the Universe in order to begin receiving.



It is important that you say your affirmations with feelings and with joy in your heart. And in your mind's eye imagine or visualize the desired outcome. I do this several times throughout the day after contemplation or meditation. And I always feel positive right after that and througout the day. Try it and believe it!

How Stuart Inspired Me

In my recent involvement in co-creating a Youtube video, I was inspired by Stuart Wilde’s powerful prayer. It made me decide to create my own affirmations. And I'd like to share them here with you.


In truth, I seek honesty from myself and from others
In contemplation, I find my inner wisdom
In observation, I no longer judge
In gratitude, I honour all creations
In co-creation, I live the life I choose
In healing, I learn to balance myself
In experiencing life, I see it as full of possibilities
In joy, I celebrate the blessings already in my life
In learning life lessons, I recognize my teachers and give thanks to them
In trusting myself, I take back my power

Perhaps I’ve inspired you to create your own affirmations that work for you. If so, then I would love to hear from you.

Courage

Courage is an inter-dimensional substance that can be created within you.

This elixir called courage is truly inter-dimensional. These are not just pretty words. When you choose to ramp up your courage, and you back this up with visualization and feeling, you're actually reaching across the dimensions and pulling courage into your body.

Courage is majestic stuff. Consider the actions of Jesus sacrificing himself on the cross, Joan of Arc facing down the armies of England, or JK Rowland's struggle as a single mother to bring Harry Potter to the world. It is courage these people drew upon to slay their dragons and achieve their bold visions.

Feel the hero inside you. Imagine pursuing your own bold, world-changing visions. Heroically, selflessly, sacrificing yourself even for your own noble truth. Such fine music plays within you in these moments. Fear might play along too but it flows into a larger symphony of courage, and love, and all the best qualities that you are.

This courage belongs also in your everyday life. The difficult boss, the overbearing spouse, a life threatening illness, and more, can all be met with courage. This is you stepping into your strength. And courage is the sword you wield. Or the fuel that fires you across the galaxy.

Four Steps to Courage

Step 1. Feel the courage in you right now. Rate this courage between 1 and 10.
The goal is to get down into your feelings, down in your belly. Once you're aware of the current feelings, you have a starting point for deciding how you'd prefer to be feeling.

Step 2. Choose how much courage you'd like to be feeling now.
Through the roof, you say. Bucket loads! Is there a danger in asking for too much courage? Well, courage without the balancing force of reason could be a hazard. So be reasonable. But go for it. Ask for a full load of courage.

Step 3. Close your eyes and imagine having this level of courage. How would it feel? What could you do? Vividly imagine doing this right now.
Stay with the feeling for some time. Focus on the courage growing within you. Magic stuff!!!

Consider what you could do with this high level of courage. Let your imagination take over here and trust the images you receive. Ride this wave of inspiration.

Step 4. Open your eyes and begin making this alternate reality a reality in the world.
Once you've completed this internal magic, you should feel energised and excited. The next step is to make it real. Use your newfound courage to make the vision a reality. This is a sacred step. It's you sharing your inner resources with the outer world and inspiring others to do the same.

The Warrior's Prayer - Making of the Video

This Youtube video is a collaboration between two people who became friends on the WWW. Maya is very talented and she makes awesome videos that carry inspirational messages of peace, hope, love and freedom. We both decided that she creates a video using one my of favourite prayers by Stuart Wilde and my very first and currently only water colour painting. And this magnificent music was chosen by my Angels as I was divinely guided to the CD.

I dedicate this video to YOU. Enjoy the video and take in the energy that emanates from it.



I hope you enjoyed the video.

Maya is just one of many Youtubers who, in service, give of what they have become. These men and women who created these videos in YT (Youtube) are passionate and dedicated about their creation. And they excel in their craft. Take for instance this particular video. It was less than 3 days ago that I received Maya's email when she suggested creating a video of the Warrior's Prayer I sent her the day before. Within the same day we decided on the music and the images to be used. I was still abit skeptical about using my pegasus painting for this video and I told her so. But Maya was convinced that it was more perfect than I think.

And both of us were so excited as she had described to me what she had in mind. She worked flat out and didn't finish until 2.00am when she was finally satisfied with the end-result. And the very next day she loaded the video on to YT.

Maya I feel is a great example of someone who in having faith in the beauty within her, she develop trust. I so admire the talent, the passion and the dedication that's behind every video creation that's put out there. And so I encourage you to do what you love, and love what you do. And you'll be amaze with the results that you get and what others get out of them too.

Please refer to an earlier article I posted on this prayer. There you will find the complete text for this prayer and my thoughts about it.

Love watching yourself create. :D

The Silent Prayer

This is a very beautiful and empowering prayer. It's been given by Tobias, as channeled by Geoffrey Hoppe of the Crimson Circle: www.crimsoncircle.com.

My friend Maya whom I met in YouTube has put together a most wonderful video which is her interpretation of this empowering prayer. She too was inspired by it. Watch it as I am most certain it will speak to your heart as it did mine.

PS/ it is sure to tingle your senses. You will also find the words to the prayer right below the video. I now say this prayer every morning upon waking up.



The Silent Prayer by Tobias

In my heart, I accept my perfect Being.
I accept that the joy that I have intended
is already in my life.
I accept that the love I have prayed for
is already within me.
I accept that the peace I have asked for
is already my reality.
I accept that the abundance I have sought
already fills my life.

In my truth, I accept my perfect Being.
I take responsibility for my own creations
And all things that are within my life.
I acknowledge the power of Spirit that is within me,
And know that all things are as they should be.

In my wisdom, I accept my perfect Being.
My lessons have been carefully chosen by my Self,
And now I walk through them in full experience.
My path takes me on a sacred journey with divine purpose.
My experiences become part of All That Is.

In my knowingness, I accept my perfect Being.
In this moment, I sit in my golden chair
And know that I Am an angel of light.
I look upon the golden tray - the gift of Spirit -
And know that all of my desires already have been fulfilled.

In love for my Self, I accept my perfect Being.
I cast no judgment or burdens upon my Self.
I accept that everything in my past was given in love.
I accept that everything in this moment comes from love.
I accept that everything in my future will result in greater love.

In my Being, I accept my perfection.
And so it is.
