If you’re visualizing effectively, you get in the moment with the feeling and the vision at the same time. From that place, you will receive thoughts and ideas that propel you into action. Action may be making a call, it may be opening a phone book, cleaning your house, taking your kid to the park or escorting your grandmother on a day of errands.  Get yourself in motion and stay alert for clues. If during visualization you are not receiving thoughts and ideas compelling enough to motivate you into action, you are simply not visualizing effectively just yet. You’ll get better as you practice.  See the link below for The Creative Visualization Process if you need a quick refresher.   If you help after that, email me at horizonsmagazine@gmail.com, there’s no charge.

Why doesn’t Law of Attraction always work? How do I really do it? 

Full moon in Virgo tomorrow 1:08pm. When the Moon peaks in the sign of Virgo on March 16, relationships could turn into anxiety-ridden critique fests. The best way to work with this is to consider it a time to purify our minds from the illusions and delusions of Pisces (the opposite sign.) Virgo asks us to take a critical and discriminating look at what works versus what’s just a big mess when it comes to our partnerships. By paying closer attention to the details, we may be able to untangle and find new solutions to some of the more elusive patterns and problems. Continue reading →

It doesn’t matter whether we think we’re drawn by love or destiny. We attract the ones we need for as long as we need to work out the issues we have. Woe be the partner ready to work on theirs when your mate isn’t.  Some partners can’t feel alive unless they continually poke at each other’s wounds.  Jeff Brown says, It’s often difficult to distinguish a soul-mate from a wound-mate because powerful connections excavate the unresolved emotional material that each of us holds. The stronger the connection, the stronger the light shining on those dark places. Some wound-mates truly do contain the seeds of our soulular expansion. But not all wound-mates are soul-mates. Sometimes they are toxic connections masquerading as something more heightened. Sometimes they are destructive battle-grounds with very little possibility for expansion.  It’s an important distinction. We want to go where we grow.

Wound-mates: Those relationships that are sourced in unresolved emotional patterns, issues and holdings. Not to be confused with soul-mates, which will also trigger shadowy material to the surface, but which hold a greater deal of promise. At the heart of soul-mate connections is an opportunity to work with the shadow in a growthful manner while wound-mates just flounder in the mud, trigger after trigger, downward spiral after downward spiral, attached at the waste. If they don’t help you glow, then let them go.

(Excerpt from the ‘Sacred Feminine Rising’ Healing Course)

Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”  Marc Hack

A friend asked why I spend so much time on the magazine when it only pays for itself and doesn’t earn income, why don’t I spend 40 hours a week doing readings instead?  Wouldn’t I make a whole lot more money? True, my readings are the income but, the magazine – I’m in it for the outcome, not the income.  Plus I enjoy it so much, it’s like the story of the Chinese lettuce farmer who was known far and wide as a writer of exquisite poetry and the grower of poor, bitter lettuce.  “Why don’t you stop farming lettuce and spend all your time writing poetry?” he is asked time and again. “Because, ” the farmer says, “If I do not grow poor lettuce, then I cannot write beautiful poetry.”

Building momentum – do it for the income and do it for the outcome

What separates the healthy from the unhealthy is not their histories – for all of us have screwed up at one time or another – but their willingness to learn from their mistakes. Jeff Brown
CD commented: And the courage to be genuine about it instead of pretending.

No more coffee for me! Helping a friend make some calls, I managed to book 11 people for 8 slots… I never expect everyone I ask to say yes. I should know better by now. Whatever it is, it’ll be perfect.  And 24 hours later it was, they just opened up the back room for extra space!

Abraham Lincoln once remarked to a fellow-passenger on an old time mud-coach that all men were prompted by selfishness. His fellow passenger was antagonizing this position when they were passing over a bridge that spanned a slough. As they crossed this bridge they espied an old razor-backed sow on the bank making a terrible noise because her pigs had got into the slough and were in danger of drowning. As the old coach began to climb the hill, Mr. Lincoln called out, “Driver stop just a moment.” Then Mr. Lincoln jumped out, ran back and lifted the little pigs out of the mud and water and placed them on the bank. When he returned, his companion remarked: “Now Abe, where does selfishness come in on this little episode?” “Why, bless your soul Ed, that was the very essence of selfishness. I should have had no peace of mind all day had I gone on and left that suffering old sow worrying over those pigs. I did it to get peace of mind, don’t you see?”  Taken from Feinberg, Psychological Egoism
