I CAN DO IT…..how many times have you tried to find the courage to say these four words? Often times saying these words is the first step to opening a whole new world of possibilities. Doing it….requires more than a belief. It requires more than courage. It demands that we TRUST with all our heart in the Divine Presence of a power that is greater than us and yet is still within us. It requires depending on all the spiritual tools there are. That’s why the Hay House…I CAN DO IT Conference was so valuable. Everyone who attended learned how to develop this trust and power. We also found the amazement and the aliveness that comes from over 5000 people gathered together in one place exploring what it means to say, “I can do it.”
We experienced three days of teaching and interacting with the top spiritual leaders in our country who led us through workshops and speeches that showed us how we could transform our world by commiting ourselves to this one idea. We were given the tools to transcend any difficulty, challenges or roadblock to finding the important answers that would allow us to see that “I CAN DO IT”, is the truth about all our hopes,dreams and desires.
This forum ignited the hearts of the teachers and the students to share the knowledge that creates miraculous opportunities to living an amazing life. From Dr. Masaru Emoto’s ground breaking research on how molecules of water respond to human thought and emotion, to witnessing Sylvia Brown’s cogent one-on-one clairvoyant healing readings, I was mesmerized. Something happened in front of me that defied logic and restored my hope and faith that we are truly all protected and loved beyond our wildest imaginations. The thirty-two speakers invited to the forum in conjunction with a phenominal team at Hay House publishing created a new order. One that honors the Higher Powers and united our hearts to creating a miraculous life.
Wayne Dyer opend the conference on Friday night. His message was simple and direct. He told us that there is a voice in the Universe calling to each of us to remember our purpose. He told us this voice whispers, shouts and sings to us. The message is always the same. Our lives do have meaning. His daughter Sky sang unaccompanied in her clear melodious voice to a room of 5000 eager hearts waiting to be inspired and led to do far greater things than we ever dreamed we could accomplish. After listening to Mr. Dyer and his daughter I can never again question why I am here?
I know.
Caroline Myss gave the keynote message Saturday morning. She led us on a guided meditation into our own personal castle. She told us to hoist up the draw bridge and dismiss the tyrants of negativity, never allowing them in our castle again. In my imagination I battled with these scoundrels and watched with a feeling of great victory as my dastardly negative fears began to leap off the castle bridge and sink to the bottom of murky water, screaming and shouting on their way down, never to be seen again. I proudly closed the door on these illusions as I walked into my castle and began to explore the many magnificent rooms that composed my soul. Caroline’s imagery and passion helped me to see how to embrace the beauty and depth of my spirit. She demanded that all of us find the strength to see the wonders of our souls. She zealously encouraged each person in the room to be a leader in their world by impacting each day with the presence of our grace.
There were many individual breakout sessions that each speaker held so that we could have more individual one on one time with their expertise. Gregg Braden talked abou the Divine Matrix and how there is dramatic new evidence of a primal web of energy that connects everything in our world and beyond. That feeling of deja vu is not an eerie happenstance. It is a sign of our connection to the past, future and present.
Denise Linn took us on a journey into our past lives. I wasn’t a big believer in past life regressions, but spending two hours with Denise altered this belief. She had a way of leading my imagination on a guided meditation where I met people, visited places and experienced situations that felt real but had no basis in my current life. The room grew quiet as Denise told us to go back in time to any place we wanted to visit. I like to play make believe so I suspended all thoughts of reality and conjured up a scene where I was dancing on stage in an 18th Century opera hous. I felt the bright lights on my face and gazed out beyond the stage to an aristocratic audience. I became the prima ballerina expressing the beauty in timeless choreography. The orchestra crescendo’s rose to a frenzied peak as I leapt through the air landing my trained body firmly grounded in my final pose. A stillness fell over the stage. In the silence, my arms fluttered and rested atop my delicate white tulled and satin costume. The deep velvet red curtain started to close as the audience stood up with thunderous applause. I bowed to my conductor as he presented me with a bouquet of blood red roses. Just as I was about to take my third curtain call, I was abruptly whisked from the stage by a foreign official and told I must leave the country immediately. Stunned, I felt frozen and afraid for my life. At that exact moment, Denise instructed us that if we didn’t like what we were seeing in our imagination we should change the outcome …immediately. In that instant, I told the officials that I wouldn’t be leaving with them. I grabbed the two suitcases from their hands, one that contained my belongings and the other filled with money. I ran across the darkened stage and hid them in the wings. I watched the shocked faces of my captors as the curtain rose for the fourth time and the orchestra started to play on encore. I took my conductor’s cue and pirouetted another finale. For the rest of the meditation, I saw myself dancing with the ballet company and living my heart’s expression and being extemely wealthy. Whether this was only my imagination running wild for thirty minutes or truly a past life regression I don’t know. What I do know is that after leaving Ms. Linn’s workshop I had acquired a new power to heal any past regrets and find the courage to live the life I always wanted. I found that I didn’t have to choose my heart over money, or staying alive. I could choose having it all. Yes, this exercise invigorated me with the strength to know that …… I CAN Do It!
Cheryl Richardson talked to us about living a more conscious life and how that awakens the miracles of grace. She is a renowned life coach and gave us tangible ways to use this benevolent force to guide and direct our lives. I felt reassured that I didn’t have to do my life alone.
Gary R. Renard taught us how to strenthen our attitude of forgiveness. “When you forgive others, it’s really you who are forgiven.” He told ust that the best way to forgive is to release judgements, expecially of ourselves. That’s why forgivenees is so important. Giving love to yourself is the only way you can give love to others. It was such a simple insight. It had a profound effect on how I began to see every person in my life, including myself. If I forgave others as well as myself, I would be at peace. For the first time I saw how unselfish it was to love myself. In fact, loving myself is the most altruistic and forgiving act I can do!
If you’ve never heard of Esther and Jerry Hicks you’ve missed the biggest leap on your spiritual quest of enlightenment. They have the unique talent of showing you how to make your life the most joyful experience. They gave me simple, easy instructions that immediately changed my thoughts, my feelings and my attitude. With their insights they taught me that whatever I desired, the universe will provide. It’s as simple as always aligning my joyful energy with the joyful vibrations of my world. Thoughts are my connectors to the vibrations that fulfill my desires. Good thoughts create good vibrations. Limiting thoughts defie the Laws of the Universe so if you want to vibrate the way the Universe vibrates all thoughts must be expansive and joyous. Otherwise, you are out of alignment with all the good that is surrounding you.
They vehemently told us that we have no ability to control others. You can only control and create your own reality. It is how you think and respond to life that creates your reality. Once I heard them say this, I firmly recommitted that my reality would be only happiness. They supported my desire and told me that my happiness is the greatest gift I can give to others. This was the perfect answer to any problem I might ever experience. In seeking solutions I need to always find what’s joyful. The reason for this is that unless I am joyful there is nothing I can give to another that is of value. These two hours taught me how to turn my attention to finding the ways to have thoughts and actions that feel good and joyful. If it doesn’t come from joy, I learned that I needed to redirect my thoughts until they landed in that joyful place. There’s always time, no matter what the pressures or situation may seem like to respond with a new and more glorious thought, instead of a stressed, limited and negative one.
If I find myself in a funk, I need to take the time to think a thought that makes me feel better. This is not just a Pollyanna approach to life, although it is highly optimistic. It’s the Divine Way the Universe works and is the only way I can align myself with the love and miracles the Universe seeks to give me. Feeling GREAT is how my spirit was designed to vibrate. These GOOD vibrations influence the Universe in Good and meaningful ways. Everything is vibrating and communicating, reacting, responding and integrating with other vibrating things. When I learn to offer my vibrations on purpose, I can always be in aboslute control of my experiences. Good vibrations create Good experiences. How great is that?
Now it’s learning to trust those GOOD vibrations that was Sonia Choquette’s secret to opening my intuitve spirit. Sonia is the most charming and magnaminous speaker. She moves with the grace and elegance of a dancer and has the charisma that set the room ablaze, singing and moving with an electric energy that lit up the room. A room of three hundres people became best friends as Sonia instructed us to vibrate our intention to live a magically guided life. As her strumming guitartist sang out loud, we found our voices and sang in tune. “I always trust my vibes, my vibes, I always trust my vibes. Don’t ask me how I know, I just go with the flow. I always trust my vibes, my vibes, I always trust my vibes.” Sonia sang a little off key and swayed her hips for one side of the stage ot the other interjecting that singing is how you stop the brain form thinking so hard so you can allow your heart to open.
Her graceful demonstratin got everyone’s internal motor’s runnig. I found that swaying my hips is how I can open my sixth sense of intuition. If you want an intuitve hit, I learned to stop thinking and just move my hips. The more I can sachet and sway the easier it gets to trust those vibes. Sonia told me it’s the movement and the singing that raises my viabrations so I can always be at the right place at the right time doing what I love. I’ve been doing this religiously and IT WORKS!
Sonia’s sense of humor, big brown eyes combined with her contagious smile created for me an ease that showed me how to get out of my own way by trusting my vibes to show me BEST way. So now instead of thinking through a problem I find myself singing and dancing towards the answers. It’s fun, fulfilling and loving for everyone I meet.
Alas, the three day workshop was coming to an end with Doreen Virtues keynote address on how to invoke the power of the angelic realm to help me awaken the spirit, power and beauty of the Goddesses and Angels. She left us with the experience of the Divine magic that is held in all of our lives when we allow ourselve to open our hearts and welcome the healing powers of the angels and the wisdom of the goddesses in. She had a slide show of exquisite artwork of the angesl and goddesses that was amazing! Her commentary of each angel and goddess was healing, powerful and transformational. Doreen’s presence sparkled with stardust while her healing voice assured me that my goddess powers were alive and would always be guided by the angels. All I needed was to ask and listen.
These three days made me feel renewed. My spirit was resucitated and my power of GOODNESS is now alive. I know that whatever I desire to experience on this wondrous journey called life, I CAN DO IT!!!
