Last week we talked about seven foundation principles of soul power – intention, integrity, intuition, imagination, inner guidance, integration and “I” (your highest wisest self). These create the foundation environment for success in business and personal life.
I love hanging out in the realms of intention and imagination, but we are also in this world to have physical experiences. The essence of manifesting is to bring our highest visions and intentions into physical form. To do that, we need to take action – inspired action -- in the physical realm.
As I’ve reflected on what inspired actions have led to the most amazing and awesome results for my clients and myself, I realize we have repeated the same steps again and again.
Seven Soul Power Steps take you from the “gleam in the eye” stage to “wow, we achieved a miracle.”
Seven Crucial Steps for Success
Pre-step: Clear a space. Before beginning the seven steps, it’s helpful to “clear a space” for something new. You may need to make space in your calendar, tidy up some clutter, or in some other way do some action that symbolizes to yourself that you are making a space for embarking on these seven steps.
1. Set your intention – The clearer your statement of intention the better. Write it down. Say it out loud. Let it sink into your mind, body and emotions. And then make it even stronger. Resolve to make this intention a reality in your life. Once you’ve decided, you’ll notice a shift as energy begins to re-align.
2. Align with your soul’s purpose – Your soul wants only your happiness, and your soul knows your life purpose. Sit quietly, and consciously open yourself to be guided by your soul’s deepest and highest wisdom. Ask if your intention is in alignment with your soul’s purpose and your highest good. You’ll likely get a “yes” or “no” feeling. If it’s “yes,” move on. If it’s “no,” ask for more information until you are confident that your intention is in alignment.
3. Magnetize your intention – In my spiritual travels, I have learned many techniques that help to attract whatever is needed or desired in a particular situation. For example, you can act as if it is already happening. Ask for divine help. Put yourself in situations like what you wish to attract. Visualize your path. Notice and express gratitude for anything that is moving in the direction you want. Imagine yourself as a magnet, effortlessly drawing in what is perfect for right now.
4. Dissolve barriers and fears – Every time any of us decides to take a new step, we are likely to face fears. If the step is a big one, it is not unusual for all of our limiting beliefs and fears to rise up in a deafening chorus of resistance. And, almost always, there are also external barriers and obstacles. It is as if the Universe is asking, “Do you really want this? Are you serious about this intention?”
I appreciate the advice to “Feel the fear and do it anyway,” but usually I need help before I can do that! I am eternally grateful to Jeanie Marshall who taught me techniques to work directly with the energy of fear – regardless of what the fear is about. If you can shift the energy of fear, then whatever the fear is about tends to disappear as well. That in turn helps to dissolve any other barriers or obstacles along the way.
5. Raise your vibration – Every thought and every emotion has a certain vibration or frequency. Your dreams and desires have a frequency. The idea of raising your vibration is to be on the same frequency as that which you want to manifest in your life. You can do this by being attentive to your thoughts, emotions and physical environment so they are at a frequency that synchronizes with what you intend to create.
6. Build momentum – Like a ball rolling down a hill, once a dream begins to manifest, it starts to pick up speed and force. And like a ball rolling down a hill, a little nudge now and then can help it along. Three ways to build momentum are…
· If it’s early in your manifestation process, take one small step every day – one inspired action -- just so you know you are beginning to move. My friend Sandy Grason suggests a great question to ask yourself: “What one action can I take today that will have the greatest impact on my life?”
· At some point, it’s really useful to do “total immersion.” Block off half a day or a full day to be totally immersed. You may be amazed at how much can happen in a couple of completely focused hours.
· Another way to build momentum – once you are excited and confident – is to get other people involved who are excited too. Be sure to pick positive people who are genuinely enthusiastic about what you’re doing. The group will begin to create a bigger buzz and that too creates momentum.
7. Celebrate and appreciate – Success breeds success. Notice and celebrate small and big successes. Appreciation and gratitude are magnetic. They help attract even more things to celebrate and appreciate.
Macro and micro
These seven steps are macro and micro. They can apply to a big dream. They can also apply to a tiny task. The steps operate as a spiral. As you move to a different phase of a project or a process, you repeat the steps in “mini” form.
When I look back at all the times I have manifested perfection – for my clients or myself – these are the steps I have followed, the soul actions I have taken.
When the Seven Foundation Principles of Soul Power are combined with the Seven Soul Power Steps, this becomes the Soul Power system – and it is unstoppable!
Your coaching challenge
1. Pick a project, a task, a dream, an event, or something on your “to do” list for the next week.
· Set the intention
· Align with your soul’s purpose
· Magnetize your intention
· Dissolve barriers and fears
· Raise your vibration
· Build momentum
· Celebrate and appreciate
3. Then let all of that go. Without dwelling on any step, just imagine that you are dancing through the seven steps, in whatever form they may take. Then imagine that you are celebrating and appreciating, completely immersed in joy.
4. If you enjoy this process, take a few minutes every day to “dance through the steps” in your imagination, and savor the joy of celebration and appreciation.
