The Indigo Connection

One of the principles I follow and continually teach is that we all have a right and a responsibility to want MORE.  Asking for more is the primary way to receive MORE – whether it occurs through thinking about our desires, dreaming, requesting help, saying a prayer or writing a list or goals on a page.  Coaching is a process that allows people to see the possibilities clearly and to formulate important plans for having MORE.

Being told to WANT MORE can stir up negative feelings.  Perhaps those most uncomfortable with MORE don’t feel worthy of more, or feel guilty for not being content with what they already have.  I remind them that it is possible to be filled with gratitude and appreciation, yet still also desiring MORE. 

 The desire for MORE is our inner creator wanting to interact with the world.  This is exactly how inventions, medical breakthroughs and miracles have occurred throughout history as humans have dared to ask for something faster, safer, stronger, bigger or better.  It is our divine purpose to seek more and allow God to respond.  It is equally important that we humbly accept our gifts as our prayers are answered.

 A world filled with the deliberate creations of humans seeking MORE is a harmoneous and peaceful place.  Become part of it.  Dare to dream, build, invent, write, plan and collaborate.  There is enough MORE to go around.  Do your part and WANT MORE.

Ever heard of a wonderful book by Julia Cameron called The Artist’s Way?  I’m currently facilitating a couple of groups through the 12 week Artist’s Way journey and continue to be astounded by the wisdom available through this very simple program.  What keeps occuring to me is that Artist’s Way integrates so many of the fundamentals of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), through intention, thought, belief and action.  As I also integrate meridian tapping with my study group, it clicks together so beautifully.

Both EFT and Artist’s Way suggest getting face to face with your fears and negative thoughts.  This allows you to identify what’s really bugging you and gives you the freedom to choose something else (only if you want to).  

The Artist’s Way invites us to look at our “blurts” – those horrible negative things we say about our selves inside our heads.   

One of my chronic blurts is:

“I’m not a very good writer – someone has already written about this and I’m sure they did it better than I ever will.” 

Nasty stuff huh?  But here’s the beauty:  every blurt provides material for crafting a positive affirmation and an EFT healing set-up statement.

Example blurt turned into EFT Set-up Statement:

“Even though I’m afraid to write because I don’t feel original or professional as a writer, I completely love and accept myself anyway.”

Blurt tranformed into Affirmations/Choices Statements:

“I am a communicator with a message to share.  I give myself permission to express myself and trust my call to writing.  I choose to write anyway,  as a path to my wholeness as a human being.  I trust the process.”

See if you can jot down one of your own blurts or discouraging thoughts, then work some magic of your own.  There is a brighter side to the situation which you can create.  Accept reality and step into the light of transformation.
