Yesterday's post delved into the space of choosing more ease, instead of complications, confusion and complexity.  Have you noticed how these energies never allow us to shine our full light on the world?  When we choose dis-ease of any type, it is like choosing to end up homeless and living under a bridge! 

We become invisible. No-one can see us, no-one wants to see us, and the bright shining sparks of magic we could bring to the world in each moment die a slow, lingering painful death, without ever creating the possibilities that would allow our being to experience the true bliss of living. 

Oops!!  Is that really what we wish to choose?  What value do we create when we choose not to shine?  What values do we hold on to that are more important than the expression of our true self?  Is it time to let the real you out from under the bridge? What is the worst thing that could happen?  You find a bigger bridge with more shelter and a couple of comfy mattresses?   You give up bridges and start looking at penthouses instead?

What would it take for you to shine your gorgeous, precious light out into the world today?  Thre are so many ways...

• what ease could you create for others, just by choosing ease?
• what joy could you express that would also bring joy to others?
• what bliss would you be willing to experience, that could expand the possibilities in the world... just by you BEing bliss?
• what laughter can you create today, that will disarm the epidemic of complexity?
• and what if all of this could show up with ease, just because you are BEing more of YOU??

Go play - and know that when you choose to shine... you change everything!  You are a gift to the world - treat yourself like that!

P.S. And if you want to expand your capacity to be bold, shine and express more of your luminous presence... join us for New Energies of Business on 30 November in Brisbane... it's going to be a shiny, happy gathering of creating bold and beautiful possibilities :)

Hello! At the second New Energies of Business event we created waves of insight and awareness at Peregian Beach!  We had marvellous speakers, a magnificent group of people participating and (of course!!) much joy and laughter amongst the aha moments!

It has been so rewarding to hear people say things like...

• "I adore the energy of the group and its marvellous to be around such kind and gentle souls." 
• "Awesome. Wonderful. Enjoyable."
• "It helped me be courageous in my work"
• "Wow, you have totally turned my idea of business upside down.  I had no idea business could be fun!  I'm ready to create my business now."

We would very much like to share some of this magic with you... so today we have some blissalicious gifts for you!!  How does it get even better than that?? 

After each event we create an ezine (electronic magazine) with some highlights from the day and some additional articles and coaching tips to allow participants to bring the new energies into their businesses in very practical ways.  It is packed full of insights and ideas and is a very practical tool.  We are choosing to share the ezine with you this time... if you would like to receive future editions you can subscribe here.

For today though, this little beauty is yours... we talk about creating value, valuing you, harnessing the power of contribution, loving your work... and so much more!!  You can download it here! 

You can also check out a few snippets of wisdom from our speakers on the BlissTribe YouTube Channel... Here's just one of the magical moments from the day:

And shhhhh don't tell anyone... but if you use these new energies throughout your life (not only in business!) you just might discover a whole lot more ease and bliss starts to come your way!

Today I have a gift for you that can be literally life-changing.  Have you ever wondered if there is an easier way to create greater possibilities than you have used so far?

I have been playing with the awesome Access Consciousness tools for three years now and have had many an unexpected possibility show up with ease.  In the last couple of weeks I have been working closely with the Access Consciousness team to produce a series of 12 introductory e-classes around the theme of Creating Greater Possibilities.

I am delighted to share these classes with you for free!  Ten tools that are simple and easy to use,  that can change everything if you choose!  All you need to do is sign up at CreatingGreaterPossibilities.com and you’ll start receiving the tools via email.  There’s some cool videos and audios and surprising examples of the difference the tools can make – I hope you enjoy using the tools as much as I have!

Choose Bliss!

PS If you have any questions, there are some introductory classes running in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast in July 2011 - or you can email your questions in and Gary Douglas will answer them in class - recordings are available if you can't be there in person! Details on the Creating Greater Possibilities website. How does it get even better than that??

How many good ideas have you had and promptly forgotten?  Thousands?  Millions?  Zillions??? Taking just a few moments to capture your ideas effectively can bring lots of flow into your living and lots of money into your bank account!!  Would you be willing to have a lot more of that?

I love ideas and over the years have tried out just about every way of capturing them known to woman.  I used to keep an ideas notebook (about 20 of them actually) but now have gone all modern and use my iPhone notes (Evernote app) or voice memos if driving. There are many great apps for idea capture, find the ones that work for you!  

And then I add those notes to my project lists on the computer - so no more searching for that idea I had a few weeks ago – I know where you are hiding!!

Of course a notebook and pen beside the bed is still great for capturing those between sleep and awake moments, sleeping with your phone can be just a little too hard on the body from a radiation perspective!

If you are like me, the brain takes just a little longer to engage, so the shower gets the best of my awareness.  Apple haven’t yet made a waterproof iPhone :-( Here are a few great ideas I have seen people use to capture ideas in the shower:

• Use a dive slate (from diving shops)
• Write on the glass with a dry erase marker (make sure you write on the dry bits)
• Set the idea to song so you can remember it when you get out.
• Get a waterproof case for your voice recorder (test your volume) – some people suggest a ziplock bag – be super careful with this one!
• There are products you can write on in the wet:  Rite In The Rain and Aqua Notes are two possibilities.
• In a moment of desperation you could write on your bathroom mirror with eyeliner.
• Kids have it all over us… try out a magna doodle board or waterproof crayons on your shower wall (only if you like cleaning!)

How do you capture your ideas?  Please share what works for you in the comments… what bliss could we create if we captured even 10% more of the ideas that stare us in the face every day???

Love your ideas!

One of my favourite tools is living in the question.  Questions empower.  Questions allow for possibilities I have never imagined to show up.  Questions open up the energy for my day to move forward with ease and joy…

Questions offer the capacity to have more awareness, more ease, more joy and more space in your life.  They are not meant to create conclusions, answers or judgments about what is right or wrong, good or bad.

The opposite of luscious, creative, spacious questions for me are judgments, conclusions, expectations and decisions… notice how much heavier and clunkier these feel?  

How many possibilities for awareness or creating more than we think is possible are there in looking for a something that matches and validates our initial ‘right’ points of view?  (We are really cute, but just not so bright sometimes ;-) Is the rightness of your point of view working for you?  Or is it time to choose something different?

Instead of using affirmations (which are mostly expectations and fixed points of view!!) to allow myself to feel awesome when I wake up, I use questions!!  The questions don’t require an answer, their sole role (or could that be soul roll??) is to fill you with a sense of possibilities and joy which allows the universe to deliver you more than you could ever imagine!

Here’s a few of my favourites you could play with… ask them when you wake up and whenever you think of them throughout the day… and watch your life change!!

• What energy, space and consciousness can my body and I be today that will allow us to be as generative, joyful, inspirational, expansive, captivating and spectacular as we truly be?
• Who am I today and what grand and glorious adventures can I be, have and generate today?
• Who or what can I be today that will make my life greater than it has ever been before?
• What else can I add to my life or business that would bring me joy, ease and greater possibilities?
• Where do I need to put my energy today that will be a contribution to my life and business?
• What would it take for my life to feel like a celebration today?
• What question can I ask or be here that would create a different possibility?

Notice none of these questions start with ‘How…’   the ‘how’ is not our job… it will show up when we are willingto have the awarenesses that come when we keep asking questions!

Does thinking make you exhausted?  Overthinking is one of the biggest causes of overwhelm, anxiety and a general lack of bliss!  We see thinking as a solution, but in reality being thoughtless offers a lot more possibilities for creating and generating the living we truly desire!

One of my greatest luxuries is a day where I don’t have to think… where I can float through everything just being aware and asking questions, not holding points of view or judgments about anything.

Of course, it wasn’t always so.  I remember a time when the idea of not thinking was downright scary to me.  Losing my mind was like losing me.  I am infinitely grateful that I know now there is a vast difference between what I think and who I truly be!!  (I’m even starting to wonder if losing your mind could offer the greatest freedom we can imagine!)

Here’s a few ways to be thoughtless… in the very best sense!
•   Have your Bars run – pure bliss for brain and body!
•   Immerse yourself in a creative and sensory activity like painting.
•   Put a teeny dot of diluted sandalwood oil on your third eye – it will remove everyone else’s thoughts, feelings and emotions from your universe and gift you lots more space!
•   Moving meditation is always a good way to take your mind into the present moment, so much easier than trying not to think!
•   Watch waves roll in… the gentle rhythmic sound is mesmerizing and allows your brain to float off into the distance!
