November is a great month for reflection. The spirit of gratitude surrounds us, providing the opportunity for high vibrational contemplation.
When we contemplate our accomplishments for the year and express gratitude for those opportunities, it opens our hearts to the universal flow of abundance. In order to create abundance, we must first align ourselves with the universe. An easy way to do this is through meditation. Settling the body and clearing the mind, allows for us to connect with the higher, more developed aspects of ourselves. As we connect at this level, we can perceive more information, knowledge, and wisdom about our specific path for this life.
With awareness, we have a good understanding of where we need to be and when as well as how to take action in order to make our dreams a reality.
Vision boards serve as a tangible tool for bridging our dreams with reality. By clearing our mind and connecting with our higher selves, we can begin to cultivate a dream for ourselves. We allow the mind to take us on a journey, perceiving what is possible for the following year. We create some intentions, for example to grow a business, or evolve a relationship, or heal an old wound. We allow spirit to fill us with guidance and direction (for example maybe a word or word phrase comes through). Then we create what we have envisioned, using words, drawings, pictures and things we find which represent our vision.
The following are some simple steps to creating a vision board:
1.) Visualize what you want and believe it is possible for you.
2.) Dream a dream. Engage in your senses to strengthen your dream. Imagine already having something and/or attaining this goal. Notice how it feels to have/be this, see it, feel it, hear it, smells it, sense it, as though you have already met your goal.
3.) Create a vision board which depicts what you plan to achieve and how you plan to get there. Think of this as a “road map” or navigation system on the journey. Be creative and colorful. Use pictures or drawings.
4.) Remain open to possibility, trust that the Universe has heard your prayer and that it’s conspiring to fulfill your dream.
5.) Let go, receive, and express gratitude. Remember that reception comes in many forms. We can receive information through dreams or conversations with people. We can receive by following intuitive guidance (so it’s important to listen).
6.) Lastly, we must do something in the physical reality. Take a step. Some sort of action towards that goal, then allow the Universe to handle the nuances and details like the when and how.
