Changing Your Vibe When You Feel in Conflict
Posted by: | CommentsThis subject has been coming up a bit over the last week. What to do if you feel in conflict in relationships – with children, partner, work colleagues, friends - whoever.
I’m sure we all know the feeling – you start to get stuck into the negatives and all the things that seem to be “wrong” in the relationship. You start an expectation that the things that displease you WILL happen – as we know, thus increasing their chances of happening!!! I remember a friend once describing, how she used to be so angry when she came home from work that her 17 year old daughter hadn’t turned the heating on, so the house would be cold. She could hear herself talking to herself about this on her way home from work – and the first thing she did when she walked in the door, was to touch the radiator to see if it was hot! Of course, it never was – she was right everytime!! When I hear that story, I can almost feel how hard it would be for the daughter to put on the heating – when her mother had such a powerful expectation and vibe that the heating wasn’t going to be on!!!!
Of course – it’s much easier for me to see this so clearly in relation to someone else’s life than it is to my own!!!! Funny that, how we have blind spots about ourselves and our own manifesting of things we “don’t want”!!.
I was listening to Paul and the Communion of Light about relationships the other day and they were talking about bringing your focus to an kind of appreciation if you are having difficulties in a relationship. Sometimes, it can feel like too big a step to appreciate the person that you are having difficulties with - although this is something that I have heard before, and it can just seem too much. But to bring SOME appreciation into your vibration can really help you to make the shift to where you want to be – and your motivation in anything is always to feel better, even if that’s not a great feeling.
Anyway, I have found it really helpful to use the appreciation exercise. You start with things around you – anything you can see physically.
So it may be something like this:
I really appreciate my car – it’s amazing that I can travel so many miles so quickly. It’s so reliable. I just sit in and it starts. It makes it so easy for me to do things – I can bring the dogs for great walks that it would be really hard to get to without the car. I can work in places I wouldn’t be able to work without a car. I can travel with children and friends and go to see shows and other things. and on and on and on.
I really appreciate my ipod. It’s amazing that a tiny piece of metal can give to access to wonderful, inspiring talks and people to listen to wherever I am. I can always choose to be inspired. I can listen to music that I want to easily. There is SO much music out there – isn’t it wonderful that so many people are inspired to make and record such great sounds.
Can you feel the energy shifting already?? I can even as I write it.
Then when the time feels right you can start to shift to people – start with people that it’s easy to appreciate and really milk what you appreciate about them:
I really appreciate my friend Lucy. She’s so thoughtful and kind. She’s funny and we always have such a great laugh together. She;s so hospitable, and I feel really at home in her house. I know that I can call her about anything and talk to her. etc, etc.
DO the same with a few more people. From time to time think about the person you are having difficulty with, and see if you can find anything to appreciate about them. If you can great – let the appreciation vibe flow to them. If not – think of someone or something else that you can more easily appreciate.
There’s no rush or hurry, nowhere to get to. Just bask in appreciation as much as you can, and be open to what happens.

A wonderful sight
Posted by: | Comments
I opened my curtains this morning and saw a fox walking up the middle of the road!! I live in the countryside, so it’s not a busy road, but it was a wonderful sight.
I love foxes. I know they have a bad press, and I don’t keep chickens, so I don’t have to deal with the carnage they can wreak. I just love their energy, and their spirit. It felt like such a blessing to see one. If I am lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one jumping over a ditch in my headlights as I drive home at night – it always feels like a magical night. It’s a such a vibe lifter for me.
A few months ago, I found a young fox lying outside the house, stunned and scared. I gave it some water and then went in to call the vet. When I came back, the fox was gone. I was wondering if this was the same fox come back……
My dog Bella, who recently died, looked so much like a fox at times, that I love them even more!
As the fox was walking away from the house, down the middle of the road, I called out to it “Bella, Bella” – and it stopped and looked back at me, twice!!! It was amazing.
I have no clue, what the connection is, or if there is one – except that as we are all connected, I know there must be one!
I just know with that start – it’s going to be a good day!
What signs and signals and vibe lifters have you experienced?

Thanks to Erik for the photo – it’s a great vibe shifter around money!!!Energetic Planning – New Call Series
Posted by: | CommentsI’m really looking forward to hosting a four week call series “Energetic Planning – Bring Your Visions to Reality.”
It’s geared at people who want to bring change in their lives in some area – but feel stuck. We’ll look at aligning your vibe, so that you are an energetic match for what you want to attract, as well as practical things that you can do. I’ve always loved the expression “Pray to Allah, but tie up our camel” and also the concept of flying with two wings – the inner and the outer. And that ‘s what we’ll be doing – looking at the Inner and the Outer level.
It’s on Wednesdays, starting the 13th October, at 5pm Irish and UK time (9am PST and noon EST).
If you’d like to join us you’re very welcome. There’s no cost, and you can register here:
Scripting Your Day
Posted by: | CommentsHow do your days unfold for you?
Do you feel as if they just happen – as if you have no control over them? Or do you have to-do-lists which keep growing? Or maybe you have great plans but life keeps sending things to disrupt you.
I find a great tool to keep my days at a high vibe level, is to start the day with 5 minutes scripting. I write mine down in a journal – but you can also say it out loud, or say it in your head if that’s easier for you. You can do it in the shower, walking the dog, or on your way to work. The earlier you do it the better, because it sets your vibration at a higher level to start the day off. If you’re used to doing it one way – in a journal for instance, and don’t have your journal one day – don’t let that stop you – just write it on any piece of paper, or say it for today.
Here are the steps:
1.Connect to your source of Spiritual Connection – to whoever or whatever, that may be. Do it in the way that feels best for you – light a candle, meditate, say a prayer, offer an invitation.
2. Identify what is up for you today. Be honest with yourself.
How are you feeling? What is bothering you? What do you need help on? What is on your mind right now?
You may have:
- a difficult conversation looming
- Financial challenges
- Health concerns
- Worries about your family
- A presentation at work
- Your car in the garage
- A concern about a pet
- etc, etc,
Just identify whatever is there, bring it out into the open and acknowledge its presence.
3. Now Script what you want to experience in your day around the things you’ve just identified.
If other things may come up as you script just include them in the scripting in the way that feels best.
Script what you’d like to experience and the feelings you want to have as you experience them. Really feel the feelings as you’re writing them, as this will activate the vibration in you. It’s the feelings that you want which are more important than the specific outcomes. The Universe often has ways of bringing us the feelings we want in more delicious ways than we can even imagine!! So stay open to the fact that you may not know the best way!
Script for small changes in your vibration, rather than great leaps!! If you reach too far beyond where you really are now, you can reinforce what you don’t have. If you move up the scale in smaller steps, you’re much more likely to get there!
For instance if you are feeling really down about the break-up of a relationship, it may feel too far away to script about a great new romance (although that might be what you ultimately want). But if you script about feeling a sense of enjoyment as you go to movie with a friend – that will bring a shift, and be going in the direction that you want to go in.
4. Go about your day – with a consciousness, that you have set up a vibrational call to certain feelings. If any things happen – make a note of them. At the end of the day, I like to review the day, and to note what happened – what evidence there was that my vibration is attracting different experiences. They may be small or big things, but they are all signs. You can write them down, or say them to yourself.
They may be things like:
- I found the perfect parking space
- A cheque arrived in the post
- Someone smiled at me when I ordered in the cafe
- I found just the right words to say in a difficult conversation
- I seemed to have so much more time than usual today.
- A friend I hadn’t heard from for ages rang out out of the blue
- I saw an ad in a paper I don’t usually read for my perfect job
- Someone contacted me about coaching after reading an article I wrote 2 years ago!!
All of these things are signs that things are moving – note them and celebrate them, and you will be sending the signal that you want more of the same.
Have fun with it!!
Thank you for the Days
Posted by: | CommentsI haven’t felt like writing for a few weeks now. Some of you may have heard that two of my beautiful dogs, Bella and Izzy died very suddenly a month ago. Somehow they ate something poisonous to them, and it killed them both. Luckily, the other two, Rosa and Ruby are fine. It’s a mystery as to how it happened, and of course it has been very, very upsetting, but we are doing better than I would have thought we would. They are all related, so poor Ruby lost her mother and sister in the space of 24 hours, and was so bereft and lost for a few weeks, it was hard to see. Luckily, we have had many friends calling, and coming to stay, and their love and energy has helped. I also was able to give her some Flower Essences, which have really helped her, and she is finding her ground again. The eldest dog, the grandmother, Rosa, is thriving and obviously much happier, now that she has more attention, and less annoyance from the other dogs.
People have been SO kind, and I want to acknowledge that here. We have been so moved and helped by so many people, some we don’t even know. There has been great healing – people with whom relations had not been great, have forgotten all that in their shock over what happened, and reached out to us. It’s been wonderful.

Beautiful Bella
So here is my rampage of appreciation for Bella and Izzy – in their lives with us, and in all that they have brought to us in their passing, and to all the people who have helped along the way. Having the beautiful spirits of those two wonderful animals in our lives was extraordinary and we are SO grateful to them.
Thank you for:
- the beautiful walks – seeing the four of you bounding with unbridled joy across the bog.
- the most deeply giving, allowing hugs from Bella.
- Bella’s most beautiful golden locks.
- Izzy’s boldness and enthusiasm and freedom of Spirit.
- The 4 part harmonies of morning Howlings!
- The trust they had in us and gave to us.
- The healing that came in their passing.
- The massive support from friends and family.
- The massive support from people in GVU and my unmet friends on Facebook.
- All the offers of healing and conversations with the spirits of Bella and Izzy.
- The daily walks on the beach with Ruby and Rosa.
and SO much more.
Thank you.
Wouldn’t it be nice if………….
Posted by: | CommentsIn Process #12 of “Ask and It is Given”, Abraham talks through Esther Hicks of a way to turn something around to a more positive feeling, if you are leaning towards the negative, and feeling some resistance.
He says “When you say, ‘I want this thing to happen that hasn’t happened yet,’ you are not only activating the vibration of your desire, you are also activating a vibration of the absence of your desire – so nothing changes for you. And often, even when you do not speak the second part of the sentence and you say only, ‘I want this to happen,’ there is an unspoken vibration within you that continues to hold you in a state of not allowing our desire.”
He then talks about playing around with things that seem a bit out our reach by coming up with “Wouldn’t it be nice if…………….” sentences. I LOVE this, and find it really helpful, if I am feeling stuck in some way. It has an almost instant affect of lighten up my vibration around things, and opening up a much greater feeling of possibility.
I was inspired to write this post today, because I’m just back from driving my lovely niece to her first Junior Certificate Exam. There are two weeks of exams for 16 and 18 years olds in Ireland now, and people can get very stressed! My niece doesn’t really enjoy school and that kind of study much, and wasn’t feeling great about going into the exams – she’s much rather be surfing!! So in the car on the way in we played WOULDN’T IT BE NICE IF………….
We came up with some great ones and were laughing having a great time on the journey, so of course, she felt much better going into the exam.
Here are some of the ones we came up with:
Wouldn’t it be nice if:
- the weather was dull on the exam days and sunny at the weekends
- if I enjoyed my exams a bit (my suggestion)
- if I enjoyed them a lot!!! (her suggestion)
- if the questions were just the ones I wanted
- I could easily remember everything I know
- if the time went by really quickly
- if I did better than I thought I could
- if my revision went really well this afternoon, and I could surf for an hour tonight
- If every time I felt stuck on a question, I asked God for help and remembered the answer
and more.
Abraham gives suggestions like
“Would it be nice if I stumbled across something that really worked for me.”
“Would it be nice if I looked like I did in this picture.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if I discovered this to be much easier than its been before.”
Play around with it and see how you get on, and if you can feel the difference it makes to your vibrational level. Let us know some of your great – “Wouldn’t it be nice ifs…….”
What’s Your Vision for the World?
Posted by: | CommentsI created a new blog after I watched Michael Moore’s movie about Capitalism. For many years I was active in political campaigns, and was on protests and working hard to change the world, to a fairer, more just world in which all people were honoured and valued. I found myself questioning a lot of things in these movements and in politics. All the anger and the antagonism, and the lack of compassion with others stopped became less appealing, and I looked to develop my spiritual life and left politics.
The words of Thich Naht Hahn made a big impact on me at the time – something like “there will be peace when the peace movement learns to speak with words of peace.” and Ghandhi’s ” be the change you want to see in the world.”
For nearly 20 years, I’ve done nothing “political”, as I developed my spiritual aspect. I always had a feeling that at some point things will come together in me, the spiritual and the desire for social change and to do my part to create a more peaceful, caring world.
For several years now, I have been studying and understanding more and more of the Law of Attraction – or Deliberate Creation. When I was watching Micheal Moore’s movie, I felt the desire to do something, but I didn’t want that to involve anger and blame. I had the idea to create this site, so that people can share their vision for the future – a place where rockets of desire can be launched for how we want to create the world of the future.
I’m not planning to write that much. Just to write thoughts whenever they come. What I’d love is for people to write their comments and share ideas and visions so that we can co-create a world where all people and beings are loved, cherished and valued. Share words and pictures, and music that is inspirational, and will be a place to come to when we want to connect with others who share our vision.
This is my start:
“I see the world as wonderful – truly wonderful. I love the variety, the strength, the magnificence. I see such beauty and such strength of spirit. I see such love and compassion, as people help and support each other. There is so much abundance and love everywhere, such harmony and balance. I love the way people are taking responsibility for their own thoughts and are so connected to spirit and the universe. I embrace the contrasts which give me such opportunity for growth, such wealth of experience and allow me to launch new rockets of desire.”
I’d love it if you wanted to write something – you can write a comment – at http://www.myvisionfortheworld.com , or if you want to contribute and write posts, email me and I’ll set you up as a contributor on the site. I’d love that.
Pure Joy – this will Raise Your Vibrational Level.
