Passion

Passion comes from surrendering totally into something.

Passion is the stuff that brings you to your knees and sends you over ice walls - over impossible obstacles. Nothing truly great is ever done on earth without passion.

Hold your fist in the air and cry out at the top of your lungs. Feel the raw animal passion of being a human on the rock called Earth. To be this awesome one-of-a-kind creature sent down to shake the world with your bold plans, your words, your actions, your connections - all your gifts. With passion and a little help, you can do anything.

Four Steps to Passion

Step 1. Chose something to be passionate about (an object of your passion). Passion comes from falling into something and letting it take you to new heights. First choose something you’d like to be passionate about.

Step 2. Imagine merging fully with the sky or the earth.
The goal here is to move outside the self in preparation for the surrender to your object of passion.

Step 3. Now connect to a source of inspiration. It might be God, a divine being, or your favorite artist.
What is needed for this step is some belief or faith. If you feel inspired by the angels, then just ‘believe’ you are connected to us and proceed to draw in that inspiration. Same advice applies for connecting with Van Gogh, Renoir, Mozart, or whoever inspires you. Believe you are connected and it will be so. Like riding an invisible surfboard. Just climb on.

Step 4. Fall into your object of passion and let the inspiration take you. This step is once again an act of faith. You WILL yourself there at first. Then just let the inspiration take you wherever it wants to go.

The process could be called passion surfing. When the wave of passion ends, you can repeat the steps to catch another. The process will also get easier with repeated attempts. At first, it may feel a little cumbersome because we’re asking you to go in several directions. Put simply, what you’re doing is choosing to be inspired, connecting to a source of inspiration, then being inspired. The added step of merging with the sky or earth is to help you get outside yourself so the inspiration can take you.

It also helps to pick your moments. Make sure you have no pressing deadlines, turn off any distractions such as the phone, and get comfortable. Then get started with passion and make it a tool that propels you towards your dreams.

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

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.
