He was so gracious and encouraging and warm to the young people meeting him and receiving his support and advice about how to improve their performances for the show. The main piece of wisdom he repeated over and over to almost every one of those American Idol singers was to find a way to make their performance personal.

 He told one young man to ‘sing to this woman’ as he outlined the shape of a woman in the air with his hands. He told another young woman to use her story that gets triggered by the song she chose, as she talked with him through her tears after singing her chosen song for him. One after another got the same advice in different words: come from your heart, use your story, make it personal, connect with one person and you’ll connect with them all.

 What I loved about this is that this is the very same advice I give to the heart-centered business owners I work with in the Soul to Soul Marketing program. What I know is what Usher knows: if you make your message too generic in trying to reach everyone, you’ll connect with no one. You must come from your truth to their truth. No matter how much talent or how many gifts you have to offer, they’ll fall on deaf ears if you don’t make it personal.

Come from your pain to the pain of just one person you know, or can imagine, and the truth in your message will be felt. You’ve got to keep it real if you want to connect in a personal way to the ones who need your help.

 There’s not much more to say about this than that. Usher is right, use those tears, let that pain carry your words, allow your heart to be revealed and vulnerable, and you’ll get your message across. That’s what Soul to Soul Marketing is all about.

 Let me know what you think about this….

Blessings!

Every possible version of you, living every possible version of your life exists in potential in the quantum field of infinite possiblities. Sound woo-woo? Well, major scientific research and theory from quantum physicists, you know the brainiacs of the world, tell us this is so.

So think about what you want. Then think about the fact that there is a part of you who is living whatever that is. And think about  how you can connect with and dialogue with him/her.

It’s as simple as doing some breathing, or a light meditation to put yourself into a light alpha state and then allowing yourself to invite, see, connect with. speak with and learn from that part of yourself.

Let’s say that what you want is more success in your spiritual business. There is a quantum YOU that already enjoys that success. And you get to ask her how she created that success, how she keeps it going, and what you need to do and change in your life and business to achieve that.

This is one of the most powerful ways to take advantage of what those scientists (and spiritual sages) are telling us: Everything exists in the NOW. And you get to tap in, tune in, turn on to your chosen reality and actually learn from it.

And speaking of tapping, a way to potentiate this process and make it much more powerful is to do meridian tapping, like EFT while you are in the process of connecting with your Quantum Self.

If you’d like me to guide you through this, let me know. But in any case, let me know how this goes. And mainly, have fun with it, keep it light and allow yourself to feel supremely empowered–because you are!!

One of my homework assignments for my spiritual marketing class was to make a vision board. I had heard of them but never had made one. I wasn’t even sure of the principles behind it. I asked Candy if she had ever made one. She said actually quite a few. Why am I not surprised.

So Jan told me that this vision board was very powerful. She said it would come to particles. Particles? Wow. Definitely the left side of my brain liked this. I was really excited and didn’t really know even how to start. But I looked in my office and all around me…things that gave me joy and things pertaining to Reiki Fur Babies. I found pictures, even titles of books, lots of animals, cards of angels that I never even knew I had…I also put people that were important to me as well as perhaps future people that I might meet one day. Whether it be signifcant or not. I put things like the O Magazine on there because I love Oprah’s magazine. Layer upon layer…I wasn’t even sure how to put them together but it all came together like a puzzle where I didn’t know how the pieces fit but intuitively they all came together. I put some of my favorite sayings on there as well. My favorite numbers. When it was done I would look at it and just grin. I had no idea though how it would work.

Every day I would take a look at a part of it…it’s incredible. It has aligned itself with all of my dreams and visions that have been taking place since the end of January. I had a very powerful dream and wrote about it – Tapestry and the peacock. I had no idea, there were TWO peacocks on my vision board. You say, didn’t you know what you were putting on the board? Well, yes and no. I took things that were around me…I had a picture of a peacock. Get this, I even had brown bears on there. What have I been seeing during our Reiki sessions? Bears. Black ones, brown ones. That same week I was experiencing my vision with the Shaman was the same week I realized there was a unicorn on my vision board. These two animals have HUGE significance to me. I find it actually comical. SO after that I started to look even more closely as what there is on my vision board. It is as if it was me that created yet but not. If that makes any sense at all!

I’m realizing that this vision board is just another extension of myself. And it is coming to particle. The colors, the shapes, the actual pictures are all of significance. My brother told me just making it was also a big part of it. I have had very strong visions since creating this board.

My latest vision was the most powerful ever. I realized she was on my vision board as well. “She” who visited me named Shanti is also an extension. She has a lot of gold around her and on her. I looked on my vision board yesterday and noticed the color gold gleaming from the entire board itself as well as a woman on the board.

All I can say is if you have never made a vision board I would encourage you to try. I would love to hear your experience. Have you ever made a vision board?
