What will you create today?

One of the best ways to create the kind of day you want is to pretend it. In the dictionary it says that to pretend is to stretch, to profess, to simulate, to make believe, and to lay calm. Pre means before in time, place, rank, etc. Tend means to take care of, to manage or operate, to stretch, to be inclined, disposed, or to be directed. And Tendency means an inclination to move or act in a particular direction or way, a course toward some object.
If we pretend or visualize how we want our day to go first thing in the morning, then it is more likely to happen exactly the way we see it. It doesn't have to take a long time, we could do it for five minutes. If we continue to do this consistently, then we will start to see more synchronicity and de ja vu, and have a feeling of having been in a place, talking to these people, or experienced something before.
Studies have shown that the brain doesn't know the difference between visualising something and actually doing it. It still triggers the same emotions, and that is one of the main ingredients to manifesting what you want. Thought, feeling, and action.
Today's Action Plan:
I will pretend my day first thing in the morning.
I will intend safe travels, coming into contact with people who support me, receiving the abundance that the universe has to offer me, love, joy, laughter, and peace. I intend prosperity, health, creativity, and confidence. Everything I do will happen easily and with least effort. I will stay open to new possibilities and opportunities. I will practice non-judgment, and know that everything happens for a reason. I will remain in a place of gratitude for everything that I encounter in this day.
You can add anything you want to this mantra, if you have a job interview, you can see your self going through the process and getting hired. If you have to go out of town, you can see yourself arriving there safely, early and refreshed. If you have to meet someone new, you can pretend the entire scene before you even speak with them.
Remove all negative thoughts, don't even put them in your way. Act as if, what you pretend will come true exactly the way you visualize it.
So then, What will you create today?

The Wheel of Fortune

Something interesting happened today that started yesterday. I was taking a couple on a vortex tour near the Sedona Masonic Temple. The wind was blowing so hard we could barley walk without getting blown over. As we were walking to a secret Native American Medicine Wheel to do a ceremony I noticed a tarot card blow toward my feet, so I picked it up. It was the Wheel of Fortune card and was numbered "10". I am familiar with tarot cards but never really got a good look at them. I thought that was interesting and put it in my pocket. I believe everything happens for a reason and though it would make sense later. Just the day before, a friend had let me borrow a copy of The Science Behind the Secret DVD, I hadn't had an opportunity to watch it before today. I am a huge fan of "The Secret" and was excited to see the science behind it. As I was watching it this morning, it went into a little bit about the Freemasons and tarot cards. Okay, I thought that was funny since I had just yesterday found this card on the property of the Masonic Temple. Interestingly, the DVD stopped before the end and I had a thought to get on the computer and look up what the card meant. The first website I came to explained, "From out of hiding comes the fool, into the sunlight, as if being pulled up from some low, dark point on a wheel. It is time for a change. Staff in hand he heads back out into the world, expecting nothing. But, strangely, things seem to happen to him as the hours go by, good things. Wondering by a water wheel a woman offers him a drink in a golden chalice, and then urges him to keep the cup, just because she likes him; as he wanders by a windmill; he stops to watch a young man swinging a sward; when he expresses his admiration of the weapon, the young man presses it into his hand, insisting that he take it. And finally, when he comes upon a rich merchant sitting in a wagon, right over one of the wheels, the man hands him a bag of money. I like giving away money, explains the merchant, and I decided, just randomly, that the "10Th" person who walked past me today would get this money. You're the tenth. The fool hardly thought he could be surprised, but he is. It is as if everything good that he ever did in his life is being paid back to him, three-fold. All luck this day is his." After reading that I felt that it was in alignment with where I was in my life right now, and I looked to see what the date was yesterday when I found the card, it was in fact 10-10-08. Now, I await to see what happens. I will post it here when I find out. -Rebekah The information about the tarot card was derived from aeclectic.net
