Today is Earth Day and we invite you in your journal writing efforts  to consider the following:

• setting your intentions  for how you can contribute to the healing of the planet
• setting your intentions for how you can help the sustainability of the planet
• setting your intentions towards appreciating all aspects of this wondrous planet we live on. Write down everything you can think of that you so cherish and appreciate about this Mother Earth.
• sit down and watch the videos Planet Earth or all the magnificent ones out there and really admire the beauty and wonder that this planet truly is
• decide to be the type of person you feel you want to be that can assist in offsetting the negativity of the planet…for starters

So, how absolutely perfect that this is coming to you on this Earth Day, April 22nd 2010! We want to share with you an Earth Day video, a moving and beautiful documentary film with you.. a film about people in this world who care to heal this world and restore the planet to its natural state of being and harmony with all living things.

The Movie is titled For The Next 7 Generations. Here’s a little bit about it:

Synopsis:

In 2004, thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers from all four corners, moved by their concern for our planet, came together at a historic gathering, where they decided to form an alliance: The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. This is their story. Four years in-the-making and shot on location in the Amazon rainforest, the mountains of Mexico, North America, and at a private meeting with the Dalai Lama in India, For the Next 7 Generations follows what happens when these wise women unite. Facing a world in crisis, they share with us their visions of healing and a call for change now, before it’s too late. This film documents their unparalleled journey and timely perspectives on a timeless wisdom.

Grandmother’s Mission Statement:

“We, the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light the way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children.”

Please view the beautifully moving trailer below. After that, visit their website and purchase the movie if you’d like.

My friend Patrick Curry and I have many conversations about personal growth and observations about our lives. We discuss the patterns we see from our lives and consider how to release and transform them. We also see opportunity to take what we’ve learned from one successful transformation and applying it to another change we wish to make.

Following is a poem inspired by those conversations. I’m sure it will inspire you in your reflective journal writing and personal growth endeavors.

Where, oh where, have I been?
And
Where, oh where, am I going?

Will I change as the seasons? Change continually into the next, then the next, freeze, die, grow, thrive, shrivel, waste, die again to be born again.

Must I, will I, do I want to cycle like the birds from north to south, return?
Or
Ride the streams down as do great fish, only to climb ladders to return, create the next of me, die in the place of my birth.

Carving paths, machete drawn, through growth, jungle growth, believing treasures await only the persistent, plodding, penetrating, productive. Is this how I grow?

Do I stop, now, call this place home, claim sanctuary, stay safe?

Or

Move out on onto the mountain, scale, decend, scale again, fail again, try again, rest only for a while, push the hand of death to witness the face of my mortality.

Are these the ways I learn to become, and if so, become what?

Are any of these places my destiny?
And
Will any these paths lead me to my freedom?

The place of freedom lies just beyond the realm of fear
within the purview of Providence and as yet, unknown to me.

If you’re a journal writer and a scrapbooker, you may very well enjoy the art and expression of visual journals. We at Seeds of Intentions, more specifically Amy Spradlin, have been introduced to the art and creative expression of visual journaling. In fact Amy, co-founder of Seeds of Intentions has worked with Sheri Gaynor (author of Creative Awakenings) on visual journaling and has been inspired by this form of expression.

Sheri Gaynor is a licensed clinical social worker, a registered art therapist, professional coach and a mixed-media artist. She offers transformational workshops, retreats and events, combining writing, photography and mixed-media. Sheri resides with her husband just outside of Aspen, Colorado, in Carbondale, which is where Seeds of Intentions is headquartered. For more about Sheri, visit her website at  about Living Our Dreams.

We’re taking the time in this blog to introduce you to Sheri, her professional offerings and to highly recommend her newest book Creative Awakenings…which reinforces all that we are here to share with you!

This artfully designed book invites you utilize your creativity to manifest your personal intention. Work in the spirit of the laws of attraction to visualize the life of your dreams.

Follow the journey of twelve artists (many we personally know from our community here in Carbondale), each who will set a personal dream or intention.
Witness the process that each artist takes, as they create a mixed-media piece that sows the seeds of their intention. Step-by-step techniques for a variety of mixed-media processes accompany each piece of finished art. Read about how their lives changed as a result and learn how to set intentions of your own using the bonus tear-out “dream-prompt” cards.

If you enjoy the art of visual journal-ing or are inspired by the notion of visual journals you’ll want to check out our recommendations below!

As always, Seeds of Intentions is here to inspire and share the power of intention in everything that you do, whether you write it down in a daily journal writing practice or use the power of visualization. We know that by the law of attraction (or your heartfelt and light hearted intention) you will attract into your life, that which you intend to create!

Today’s journal writing prompts and journal writing topics are on the notion of accepting responsibility for everything that shows up in your life. Take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for it, Good or Bad!

As you peruse our various blogs (Our Spiritual Blog, Our Law of Attraction Blog, and our Blooms of Intentions products) you may discover that this theme is present throughout all of our blog posts and articles.

Additionally, we appreciate the power of intention and encourage you to become very conscious of the things that you intend for your life. We’d like to encourage setting intentions on many topics. Using a journal for writing down that which you intend for your life is a powerful tool for becoming the deliberate creator of your own life!

So…back to today’s journal writing prompt and journal writing topic:

Accepting responsibility for everything that shows up in your life.

You’ve “Asked for it” and now you’ve got it……(You could easily create a whole writing journal on this topic alone!)

Here’s where to begin….

(it’s much easier to understand where we’re coming from if you understand the Law of Attraction or the messages found in the movie The Secret as well as The Secret the book. For more on this subject you may want to visit our Law of Attraction Blog…but let’s just say much of what I am sharing is based on my experience with this topic)

• Observe what is coming into your experience of life
• Consider how it is that you may have attracted whatever it is that you are experiencing (be it desirable or undesirable)
• Know that you have created this experience whether you are aware of it or not
• Understand that anything you give your attention to, be it positive or negative you are adding to your bag of  “things” you are inviting into you life
• Just because you are thinking about something you DON’T want doesn’t mean it won’t show up. If you give your attention to it, in any fashion, positive or negative, you are including it in your vibrational mix and telling life to bring it towards you (of course there’s alot more to all of this than I’m including here, but go with this for the moment…because I personally have mountains of evidence and life experiences to suggest it is true…as do you if you really stop to consider it)
• In your journal, start noticing what is showing up for you.
• Consider what, in your patterns of thought and belief ,may have brought it to you.
• Now start, using the power of intention, setting intentions for only that which you DO want to experience in your life!
• If you don’t like what’s showing up, start focusing on the topic of what you do want to experience in your life.
• If you do like what’s showing up. Continue to feel appreciation for that which you do enjoy in your life.
• Watch as your experiences change to fit that which you truly, in your heart, appreciate and care to experience.

You’re the artist. Life is your canvas. Your paints are the thoughts and beliefs you hold about anything and everything. What do you choose to paint today? A Masterpiece…or something else. You get to choose. “You get all the credit!”….from Abraham and the Teachings of Abraham.

My Observations of The Law of Attraction and Manifestation

The Law of Attraction and Manifestation Book Collection

Ok…so I have intended to attract many opportunities into my life. In the realm of work, I have intended to attract work that I love to do, with people that inspire and elevate me to new levels of creativity and expression. I also intend  to be graciously paid at the rate I want to be paid. Additionally I intend to allow many channels of  financial prosperity to open up for me. I no longer limit my ability to earn on one single source, i.e. one job!

So….something I have noticed about myself in this process of manifestation…..I have found that with some topics, I have some “deep seeded issues” that need to be addressed. Many times these issues are so deep seeded they are unconscious now. I am sure I am not unique in that I have issues about money!?!

I finally recognized this clearly when the topic of pay came up for me. I was offered a temporary job to work for a relatively measly hourly wage. I was so irate, that I realized this was a “deep seeded issue” for me and the person who presented the job and offer to me was simply reflecting the beliefs I still held about myself in regards to work and pay. He was in fact a true gift to me!

I knew I had to address this issue and I did so by calling up family and friends and expressing my frustration and anger. “F” bombs were going off everywhere about this!

After two days of expressing how I felt, I was relieved. I felt like the “charge” around this topic had been diffused and was no longer there. I came to the realization that I am consistently highly productive, creative and appreciated. I was just not “letting it in”!

A week or so after this incident, I received five offers for work at the rate of pay I asked for! No questions asked.  My point about this whole thing is that if you are frustrated with the law of attraction and manifestation, there may be a belief or “vibration” that you are holding that you have lived with for so long, you are unaware of it! If this is the case, you may never manifest on a certain topic  until you recognize what limitations you have placed upon yourself in any regard on any topic.

Be aware, that if someone presents you with something you do not like, and it makes you angry or frustrated or any number of emotional things, YOU ASKED FOR IT! After you go through your emotional gyrations and reactions, STOP and reflect on how you attracted this situation to yourself! You are holding a “vibration” about this issue that life, the universe, God, whatever you want to call it is bringing to you. It truly IS a GIFT! You can choose to recognize this now or later….you can be sure it will continue to present itself until you let go, surrender, and/or transcend this issue!

I recently wrote about the need for emotional expression. It works! Click here to see my most recent post on this topic. If this doesn’t work completely you may want to consider something called Quantum Emotional Clearing^TM. It is a profoundly effective technique developed by Lee Beymer of Radiant Health Center in Aspen, CO.  I am a living example of the power of Quantum Emotional Clearing^TM. It’s a powerful tool you can work with on your own! If the Law of Attraction and Manifestation is not working for you, you may want to consider what the deeper “issue” may be! For help on these matters I’d highly recommend a session with  Lee Beymer or myself in some Quantum Emotional Clearing^TM., or someone similar. Click here for more on QEC.

So, visit our daily journal writing blog where I intend to

Today’s daily  journal writing topics are on the power of intention to focus  ONLY on what you do want to attract in life be they experiences, relationships or things. It is a powerful way to be and only magnifies your ability to be the deliberate creator of your own life.

When I first was “attracted” to the Law of Attraction books and all of the Teachings of Abraham the most significant thing that was suggested and was one of many “ah ha” moments while reading the books was that it is most important to ONLY focus on that which you DO want in your life.

I never even considered any other way as I continually gave my attention to things I didn’t like!…and what I do like of course, but I noticed that when I’m giving my attention to some thing I don’t like I’m really giving it my all!  I feel like much of my time and heartfelt emotions in the past was given to examining, judging, and criticizing things that I did not like! (Though I am a predominantly positive individual)

Little did I know I was attracting the very thing I did not like by giving it so much of my attention. I stopped doing that.

So today, I am offering you the opportunity to consider this and change your mind. When you catch yourself looking at something you don’t want, stop what you’re doing and ask yourself, what do I want instead? For many it will be a new way of thinking. It’s well worth the effort as the “pay off” is life changing!

For more on The Law of Attraction and the Teachings of Abraham

I highly recommend all of their books, Cd’s, and movies available on our website. This website was created because of the power in all of the teachings I have come across and care to share with others. They are powerful and life changing!

I am officially using the power of intention in this daily journal writing blog to set my intentions in regards to today’s journal writing topics on work.

I just started doing some new work for a friend yesterday and the intentions I set for this work are already in motion as I set them a few days ago. I am just unable now to sit down and get them into our daily journal writing blog and include it in the journal writing topics.

I’ve noticed that the power of intention is even greater when your intentions are truly heartfelt, light and fun.  The intentions I set in regards to doing this work were this:

• To have fun. To be highly productive, inspired and creative and to allow not only what the business needs but more importantly what the end user of the product I am working on needs to flow through me.  I intend to take what I “think” out of the way and allow what I “feel” is for the “highest good” to inspire me.
• I want to be in harmony with all that I interact with and truly intend to only see the best in everyone and inspire the best in everyone because that is truly the truth of us all!
• I love that I am so wholly gifted and that I am able to contribute in SO many ways…and that I am so wholly appreciated in so many ways as well!
• I love that I can do what I love to do in regards to work…its play time for me!

If yesterday is any indication of the power of intention, then I’m all

The Law of Allowing The Flood Gates are wide open!

on board! I was filled with joy, inspiration and appreciation for being a part of something new and introducing myself into a whole new circle of people (which was my intention the other day in regards to attracting new relationships!). My “channels” of joy are WIDE OPEN! The flood gates are open!

I have another book recommendation for you too! I have had You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay for some time now. I pick it up every now and then for reference. Last night I picked it up and started to read some chapters in the middle of the book and of course I was brought to the topics on this

You Can Heal Your Life Book by Louise Hay

very thing (Law of Attraction at work gang, whether you want to believe it or not!).

There is so much I appreciate about what I read and have found it to be extremely helpful!

Thanks for joining me today for The Power of Intention and our daily journal writing blog. Like we say at Seeds of Intentions “Plant Yours Today!”
