Gut Feelings Part 2 - How To Consciously Use Them, by Craig Galloway

February 2010 Newsletter: Resolutions, Intentions, Goals

Welcome to 2010, a year of amazing possibilities. The beginning of each year is a time when many of us sit down and put together some goals for the coming year. Although well intentioned, for me the results have been a mixed bag and I would like to be better at this process of creating what I want and what is best for me.

Over the years I have become more aware of how the creative process works and the complexity of what I am working with. In the later part of 2009 much information was being given about the global energy shift we are involved in and the individual effect it would be having during the first 2 weeks of January and beyond. For me it was a pretty challenging couple of weeks. A number of old beliefs and patterns resurfaced that I thought I had successfully dealt with, when in fact I had simply plastered them over and hoped they had gone away. And so I was clearly back in touch with them and it was not feeling pleasant! The opportunity was to use this clarity to resolve and transform them into a more positive perspective, gaining the wisdom they were giving and using it in a more positive way.

It was explained that with these old negative beliefs resolved, the new resolutions I was setting would have a much greater probability of becoming reality. So the effort was definitely worth making.

I read a recent article by noted author and transformational teacher Jim Self who described what was occurring in this way "As many of us are becoming aware, there are two great waves of Light within the Shift that are bringing about a transformation within each of us. The First Wave of Light is clearing our old memory patterns and the belief systems of the consensus reality that do not support our well-being. This Wave is destabilizing and dissolving everything that is not aligned with our internal patterns of well-being and our relationship to our own truths. It is increasing our capacity to hold a higher Light quotient, providing us with the opportunity to access more information, greater wisdom and enlightenment of what we already know but have forgotten.

The Second Wave is a higher dimensional vibration of Light that is providing us with the opportunity to step into certainty, personal power, and command, and bringing about a balance. This wave is also bringing about choices and opportunities to co-create, coexist, and cooperate without the judgments and opinions of right and wrong, good and bad and what you should or should not do."

The key point is this - we need to understand the shift that is occurring and then use it for our best advantage, clearing old negative stuff and then let in the new positive aspects. However, we must make the choice to do this and set a resolution or intention for this.

The power of setting a direction for ourselves is one of the greatest abilities we have and yet not well understood. Goal setting has been practiced a lot, but usually misses the most important concepts - firstly, we are working with a single stream of pure positive creator energy that feels good when we hold thoughts that line up with this. And secondly, the Law of Attraction, which states energy attracts more like energy unto itself. With enough energy brought together we get a physical result or manifestation.

As thought is the starting point of all vibration or energy, so the thoughts we hold start off whatever we are going to eventually physically create (people, events, opportunities, relationships, abundance, health etc). Given we have an 'on-board guidance system' we can discern which thoughts are lining up good stuff for us or not before we get a physical result. Thoughts that bring a good feeling are indicating we are heading in the best direction, while those thoughts that do not feel good are taking us away. It was never meant to be complicated.

What is more, the strength of the Law of Attraction is increasing and requires us to be more intelligent in how we set our 'goals'. These now need to be done more as resolutions or intentions for a start and then fine tuned detail and specifics as more information and options get attracted in.

The key is to start with a general preference or direction you want to head in that 'feels good' to you. If you get too detailed too quickly you will find the good feeling starts to diminish. Just pull back a bit to where it feels good and go with this set of ideas.

As the Law of Attraction starts to be applied to the resolutions and intentions, then more options and information will turn up. You then modify your resolution using this new level of information and keep the process moving towards what you want to show up. By having options to work with you can more easily discern which one feels best using your 'on-board guidance system' or GPS.

You can apply this to every aspect of your life.

Setting Resolutions, Intentions and Goals

When setting any resolution or intention, you must firstly focus on what is best for yourself and then add that it is also okay for others. Many of us have been trained to put others first, while some have got the idea that you just look after yourself and they forget to include others. Neither approach can create a good outcome or result.

It is important to remember that if you do not set resolutions or intentions then you are letting others and the world do it for you. It is very unlikely that they will set ones that are best for you and hence the results that show up will not be satisfying or feel good for you. You intended to be the driver of your vehicle and not a back seat passenger.

The process in the following printable document was specifically given to address this. Identifying the negative patterns and choosing to release them is an important part of the process of allowing the intentions being set to come through and not be sabotaged. Choose anyway that is meaningful to you to release them. Some people choose to write them down and then burn them, using fire to purify and release them.

Just try starting with something quite general and have a play with it. You might just have some fun!

Following is an article from Esther Hicks and Abraham that explains another way to do the above.

New Year's Resolutions

A message from Abraham channeled by Esther and Jerry Hicks

"ESTHER: Abraham, How do you feel about New Year's Resolutions? And how would you approach a New Year's Resolution if you were in our physical shoes.

ABRAHAM: They are a wonderful idea. They fall into the same category as Segment Intending or Positive Expectations or Deliberate Creation. Most New Year's Resolutions, like any new decisions, are made from a rather clear awareness of what you do not want or of what has not gone well, and so, in order to set your New Year's Resolutions into motion with enough momentum to keep them going, it is necessary to spend some time lining up your energy with your new decision. Many people make resolutions, and often by the first or second day of the New Year they have gone back to their old habits, and then they feel discouraged.

Every day provides a wonderful opportunity to set forth your clear intentions. You do not have to wait for a new calendar year.

Find a comfortable place where you will not be interrupted by. Write at the top of your notebook page: My Dominant Intentions: Then write four sub-headings: My Current Intentions Regarding My Body, My Relationships, My Home, My Work. Then, write a general description of how you want to feel and be, regarding each of the four categories. Be general and easy. Let these words come easily from you.

Now, go back to the first category, focus on the topic, and sit back, relax, and daydream about this. Imagine your body looking just as you would like it to look. See it in your mind's eye. Try to imagine how that beautiful body would feel. Move it, in your imagination. Take it for a walk, dress it in something that pleases you. Appreciate its stamina and flexibility and clarity. Spend as much time daydreaming about this wonderful physical vehicle as you can. Stay in your vision until you feel refreshed, and continue to be there as long as you can.

Now, go to the second category, and do the same thing. Bring an image of the most significant person in your life experience and see that person with you. Feel appreciation for that person. Mentally speak your appreciation. Imagine that person loving you back. Praising you, and complimenting you. Feel your mutual appreciation and admiration. Stay within the vision until you feel refreshed.

Now, go to the third category, and feel appreciation for your home. Make mental pictures of your home as you want it to be. See it orderly, if you desire that, and beautifully furnished, if you desire that. In an easy and carefree manner, imagine it however you would like it to be. Take pleasure from your vision and stay there until you feel refreshed.

Now, go to the fourth page, and gather a mental picture of your work. Feel appreciation for the excuse it gives you to flow energy toward something. Acknowledge how expansive it is, and feel appreciation for its ever changing nature. See yourself expanding and thriving. Stay there until you are refreshed.

There is no right or wrong way to approach this. The thing that is important is that you choose areas of your life that matter most and that you conjure positive images that thrill you. And as you do that, you have not only resolved, in your own mind, how your New Year will be, but you have notified everyone and everything in the entire Universe and you have solicited their assistance in achieving your intentions. And from that moment forward -- the entire Universe will conspire to assist you.

You are a powerful creator. We have the 'world wide web' here in this physical dimension to tap into through a computer and modem full of information and possibilities, however, you have the 'cosmic web of Universal intelligence' to tap into through your personal processing centre and modem called your brain. This is infinitely more powerful and just waiting for you to use positively and proactively.

Care to give it a go?
I wish you well,
