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.

Today’s journal writing prompts and journal writing topics

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.

Here’s Seeds of Intentions‘ Top Ten List of New Years Resolutions Ideas

1. First of all be Willing to Change, there is powerful assistance from life when you are….for more on this topic click here.
2. Decide to be the conscious and deliberate creator of your own life….for more on this topic click here.
3. Allow all others and all situations and events outside of yourself to simply be. It is NOT your creation! ….more on this topic soon.
4. Take responsibility for everything you experience in your life good or bad. You’ve attracted it, you’ve created it…..more on this topic soon.
5. Love your body. Stop thinking negative thoughts about it and cherish it….for more on the topic of your body click here. For everybody’s favorite topic on weight loss resolutions click here. We just addressed this issue in yesterday’s blog.
6. If you have disease in the body, consider what thoughts and beliefs and patterns of being may have created it….we’ll have more on this topic soon. In the mean time I again recommend my article titled You are the Ruler of Your Own Body.
7. Allow yourself to express how you feel at every moment. You are perfection playing itself out in all of creation. You will continually be presented with situations that need to be fully expressed. Don’t judge it! ….for more on this topic click here.
8. Sit down. Make a list of the top 100 things you want to create, experience, and be in your life. (and while you are doing this make sure you are in a light happy uplifted mood. Have FUN!) Choose NOW what you want! Decide you no longer wish to “live by default”.
9. Ask for assistance and guidance often. When you start tuning in to your willingness to change and willingness to receive it “shows up” every time! REALLY! I do it all the time now and it’s quite amazing and fun…yet always turn inward to discern the truth of  any matter.
10. KNOW that YOU ARE PERFECT at absolutely every moment of every day of every breath of your life! We all are (believe it or not). All highly conscious beings and avatars of history know this to be true and experience it in their awareness as true. We are all simply “God Godding”…”Life Lifing”…”Consciousness Being”! There is NO other!

So that concludes our Seeds of Intentions list of New Years resolutions ideas. Please be sure to tune in to Seeds of Intentions’ WKSMO Radio 310, your frequency of willingness and willingness to change on the Cosmic Radio dial.

Liz Gracia Co-Founder Seeds of Intentions

Happy New Years! Come join us at www.SeedsofIntentions.com where you can “Plant Yours Today!” (your intentions for a fun-loving, prosperous and fulfilling 2010)

You have just tuned into Seeds of Intentions’ WKSMO Radio 310, the cosmic frequency of willingness and willingness to change on your “cosmic” radio dial.

If you’re just tuning in, WKSMO Radio is a metaphor for understanding where true power to create and true power to change exists on a scientifically proven level (Click here for more on this topic). We are here to assist you in “tuning in” to the higher frequencies in life in order to create the joyous, loving, fulfilling and prosperous life you truly want.

You have been brought here because as you are contemplating your New Years resolutions on weight loss. You are feeling

Think and Get Slim to assit you with your intentions of natural weight loss

that there is something more to this, that perhaps you just haven’t quite “got” in the past, because you do not appear to be able to keep your resolutions in regards to weight loss. This year it is different because you DO want to keep this resolution and and you’ve asked yourself how. You have been emitting a vibration of willingness and  willingness to change whether you are aware of it or not. You realize you truly care about your body and physical well-being  but you want your weight loss efforts to  be in alignment with a healthy natural weight loss. Not some “lose weight fast” scheme…again. It is this frequency of willingness that has brought you here.

You will want to see our previous post on this topic to get better acquainted with the whole notion of the the power of willingness and this universal frequency. Click here to review there first if you like. Also I want to recommend “Think and Get Slim” brought to us by the Teachings of Abraham and Esther and Jerry Hicks. This will help you to focus on that which you really DO want…which is to get and be slim for the rest of your life! Click here to order!

I personally have been burdening myself and “Who I really Am” with a lifetime focus on weight loss and have come to the realization that it is more that has kept me from the state of radiant beauty and vibrant natural health that I know I truly am.  The root of my excess weight has really been my unconscious feeling of vulnerability and my need to protect myself or better yet hide myself behind excess weight. I have felt this often, especially when I lose weight and get closer to the place I want to be with and in my body.

You Can Heal Your Life Book by Louise Hay

I have finally recognized this fully and consciously and am doing/being something else. My willingness to change these patterns in my life led me to the renowned book by Louise Hay called “You Can Heal Your Life”. She recognizes and identifies patterns of thought and behavior that lead to many diseases in the body and dysfunction in life.  She has holistic healing practitioners that use her book as a reference and confirm that 85% of her diagnosis appear to be true for their patients. I too am an Holistic Healing practitioner and have found her prescriptions for healing and change to be extremely helpful and powerful.

So…I suggest you look inward and ask to be shown the true reason for the condition of excess weight in your body. You already know the answer, but your willingness to change will bring you the power (true power that is) to change this condition.  It will also lead you in the direction that is best for you and answer your questions….just be open to how your questions are answered. Life will use the whole Universe to do this. Just be open and willing to receive answers and assistance in any way that it comes….don’t dismiss any answers and assistance as “coincidence”. Life LOVES to “show up” in wondrous, fun and seemingly miraculous ways. It is all in answer to your heartfelt prayers and intentions. It happens all the time with me, now that I am SO willing to listen!

Following is some assistance in your answer to this prayer. I currently state this to myself on any topic that I want to change, but for natural weight loss this is what I say:

“I am willing to change. I am willing to release excess weight from my body. I am willing to release all thoughts, beliefs and patterns in my consciousness that have led me to the condition of excess weight in my body.

I am safe. I do not need to hide. I am willing to be “Who I Really Am”. I love my body and appreciate it’s magnificence and divine connection to life and all that is.”

That’s it! You can reword it any way you like. Remind yourself with something like this everyday. The more you do, the more you are “tuning in” to the powerful frequency of willingness and willingness to change.

For more on the power of thought and your body, I highly recommend my article called You Are the Ruler of Your Own Body.

Thank you again for tuning in to WKSMO Radio 310, the powerful frequency of willingness and willingness to change on this Seeds of Intentions “Cosmic” radio dial.

Please tune in again as we will be focused on willingness and willingness to change as a major component of our New Years resolutions this year and during the whole month of January 2010. And thank you for being willing to consider natural weight loss and what the root of your excess weight and patterns of thought and beliefs truly are that may have led you to this condition.

For products and information to remind you and keep you focused on your intentions, please visit our main website at www.SeedsofIntentions.com where we invite you to “Plant Yours Today!” (your intentions for a joyous, abundant, fun-loving and creative life that is!)

Ok, so I’m a bit hesitant to even do the whole New Years resolution thing except that it is the one time of the year that the intentions to set News Years resolutions are high, so  there is a willingness here to go with that high vibrating flow and the willingness to change….but before I do I’d like to first address the whole “shoulding” thing.

Please DO NOT “SHOULD all over yourself” (I love that phrase and just had to share it!) about anything! If you think you “Should” make New Years Resolutions forget about it and wait until you feel your true willingness to change something in your life. You can’t change for anybody else but yourself. “Shoulding” typically involves feelings of guilt…and guess what? Guilt is a VERY low vibrating frequency. It is scientifically calibrated at the low end of the vibration scale and is inherently negative and downward pulling. So why waste your time there? There is NO support at all in that frequency. It is weak and false so smile, recognize where you are and say Adios! to the frequency of Guilt!

On Willingness and Willingness to Change

Our intentions with this blog is to assist you in understanding where the power to create and live a happy, prosperous and fulfilling life exits. Our understanding is supported by the *scientific studies of consciousness that actually calibrates different levels of well being and exponential power. These studies have been compiled into what is now famously know as The Map of Consciousness created by Dr. David R. Hawkins.

To make this science more comprehensible to an everyday person (who simply wants to enjoy a wonderful life) I am using the metaphor of tuning into a frequency like a radio station. The Seeds of Intentions radio station of choice is WKSMO Radio (Kosmo radio for short) where we “tune in” to and appreciate the powerful, loving and supportive frequencies of life, the Universe, the Cosmos….whatever you want to call it!.

Willingness can be found on WKSMO Kosmic Radio dial,  frequency 310.

The significance of the number 310 (or calibration as we scientifically refer to it as) is that it is exponential in nature. This frequency is actually a mathematical calculation that it is equal to= 10 to the 310th power (which if you remember your early math = (10×10x10×10x10…..x10) 310 times! That’s a BIG number! So tuning into Radio 311, for instance  is a QUANTUM LEAP even from 310!

By contrast anything under 200 on our “radio dial” is negative, downward pulling, and NOT life affirming. Examples of those downward pulling frequencies are:

• Pride
• Anger
• Desire
• Fear
• Grief
• Hatred
• Guilt
• Shame
• and everything of that nature in between.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE if you intend a joyous, fulfilling, wondrous and prosperous life for your self. You are NOT supported by the powerful frequencies of the Universe down on the lower end of your radio dial! It is your choice to tune your radio to any station you like (aka Free Will). Make a conscious choice to do so.

In regards to your New Years Resolutions and making changes in your life,  tuning into the frequency of  Willingness will help you tremendously in making these changes. It is a Quantum Leap in power and support from fear, doubt, guilt “shoulding”. Your willingness attracts the frequency of willingness and the powers to change to you.

So while you’re contemplating your New Years Resolutions consider these words to repeat to yourself whenever you need a reminder of your willingness to change something in your life:

I am willing to change __________________. (fill in the blank) I am willing to release all thoughts, beliefs and patterns in my consciousness that has created this condition. I choose ______________. (fill in the blank).

The power in this statement is real. It works! I have been applying this thinking and way of being  in my life for a while now and am a living example of the truth of what what I am saying. It is also the truth of what we are intending with our company Seeds of Intentions…it’s the whole reason we started this company in the first place!

During the month of January Seeds of Intentions will be  focused on the level of consciousness known as Willingness. For more on our Monthly Topics on Consciousness (remember its just a radio station on the KSMO Radio dial!) click here!

I will be adding more on the topic of New Years Resolutions and Willingness to Change all this week and into the month of January. Stay Tuned!

Liz Gracia Co-Founder Seeds of Intentions

Happy New Years!

I am SO willing to change! How ’bout you?

Doves the Symbol of Peace

In the spirit of Christmas and unconditional love this is a spiritual Christmas message I’d like to share with you…..

As mentioned in an earlier blog post, the “Vibration” or “Frequency” of Unconditional Love calibrates at 540 on The Map of Consciousness…simply a scientific measurement of this vibration…click here for more on this.The point of this is that I personally have been “tuned in” to this frequency this week and am realizing I can actually feel it! The Spirit of Christmas, Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men is a seriously high frequency coming in at 675 on Dr. David R. hawkins’  Map of Consciousness.

I was at the grocery store today and this frequency of Unconditional Love is palpable. It is in the air. I see it in people’s faces and hear it in their voices. Everyone is lighter in spirit, warm, welcoming and genuinely quite loving by nature. The more I notice it the more I become “tuned in” to it. I feel so loving and light today;  I know by experience and ….let’s call it revelation (for lack of a better word) this is how life is meant to be on an on-going basis.

So how do we go about this?

Well, without getting into the meaning of consciousness and all that high falootin’ scientific stuff, let’s simply look at it like a radio station. Uncondional love is quite a different frequency than the frequency most people are tuned in to on a daily basis. S o decide you want to tune your vibration to that of Unconditional Love. And since we can associate a number to it, in this case 540, you decide your going to tune your radio in to WKOSMO 540 on your cosmic radio dial. To tune into this station this week, go out into the public by yourself and simply observe what’s going on. This vibration is already in the air, so practice tuning into it.

To practice this, simply start appreciating how kind and loving people are right now and decide this is how you are going to be at every conscious moment (notice I said conscious moment!). Be kind, loving, compassionate and appreciative of everyone you encounter this week. See how incredible you can begin to feel! Because I consciously do this on a daily basis, I am living closer to this level of vibration every day. Some times I turn on WKOSMO 425, which is quite linear and intellectual, or some other radio frequency, but do manage to get back to channel 540 on my cosmic radio dial.

I can’t recommend to you enough the magnificence and beauty that the frequency of “radio station WKOSMO 540″ is.  I say it again,  I am Graced beyond words to have experienced it (this level of experience/life)  purely and fully. It exists. It is accessible to everyone who wants to live in that experience and level of awareness. This is what Jesus Christ was suggesting as well….aspiring to this level of existence. Jesus was tuned into radio station WKOSMO  1000…and that’s a hole other ball game! But he knew the level of unconditional love, at 540 is attainable.

So during this Holiday, pay attention to what I am suggesting and decide for yourself whether it is worth your focus or not. If so, we have plenty of resources on our website for further pursuit and inquiry. In my experience, it is true…”when the student is ready, the teacher appears”… the “teacher” by the way is whatever you are drawn to…a book,

Liz Gracia Co-Founder Seeds of Intentions

an article in a magazine, the words in a song…everything in life is available to give you the guidance you have asked for. DO NOT dismiss it! I’ve traveled far paying attention to all “signs” and seeming coincidences…truly there are none!

Have a Joyous, Beautiful, and Unconditionally Loving Holiday Season…and in the words of Abraham thru Esther…..”There is great LOVE here!”

Mother Teresa

We’d like to share the U2 lyrics  to Grace with you as it is in alignment with our intentions to share powerfully moving creations in life.

In addition to these Grace  lyrics, we’d like to send you to the YouTube video featuring the U2 song Grace and a tribute to  Mother Teresa, her work and words of unconditional love and knowing.

Click here for the You Tube video of Grace and the Tribute to Mother Teresa. It is really quite moving!

Now for the U2 Lyrics to Grace
Grace She takes the blame She covers the shame Removes the stain It could be her name
	Grace It’s a name for a girl It’s also a thought that changed the world And when she walks on the street You can hear the strings Grace finds goodness in everything
Grace she’s got the walk Not on a ramp or on chalk She’s got the time to talk She travels outside of karma She travels outside of karma When she goes to work You can hear her strings Grace finds beauty in everything
	Grace, she carries a world on her hips No champagne flute for her lips No twirls or skips between her fingertips She carries a pearl in perfect condition What once was hurt What once was friction What left a mark No longer stings Because grace makes beauty Out of ugly things Grace makes beauty out of ugly things

As a teacher of sixteen second graders, each day I am blessed with the  giving and receiving of unconditional love.  It comes from the familiar “good morning” smile exchange which I believe is a soul to soul recognition and acknowlegement, and the”Hey, Mrs. Spradlin, I got my new puppy last night!  It’s so soft and cute.  But I didn’t sleep at all because it cried,” stories.

Sometimes it comes through the  tearful moments when life gets you down and the only medicine is a hug.  Children are my biggest teachers in life.  This month I would like to honor my students individually and thank them for their wisdom of unconditional love.

• Eli, thank you for showing me love through your gentleness.
• Sebastian, thank you for showing me love through your compassion for others.
• Emily,  thank you for showing me love through your dedication to all that you do.
• Izzy, thank you for showing me love through your belly giggles.
• Lucio, thank you for showing me love through your honesty.
• Gabe, thank you for showing me love through your creativity and individuality.
• Alex, thank you for showing me love through your vulnerability.
• Tamara, thank you for showing me love through your inner and outer beauty.
• Amanda, thank you for showing me love through your enthusiasm for life.
• Beatriz, thank you for showing me love through your stories of family.
• Brandon, thank you for showing me love through your resiliency.
• Ian, thank you for showing me love through your humor and teasing.
• Carlos, thank you for showing me love through your loyal friendships.
• Cesar, thank you for showing me love through your joy in small moments.
• Hunter, thank you for showing me love through your empathy.
• Ismael, thank you for showing me love through your intensity.

To get to the heart, look to the children.  Unconditional Love can always be found there, in the heart of a child.
