Meditation, Visualization, Feeling into the Space of New Creation

Hello, beautiful;

What is the emotion you currently experience most right now?  

If you are feeling stuck in old patterns of being that you can see but can’t seem to change, this one question can lead you to the answer as to why you may be in the mud instead of on the mountaintop.

If your answer is that the primary emotional state you experience is in any negative emotion such as anger, resentment, anxiety, sadness or frustration, this is exactly what is keeping you where you are rather than where you want to be.

We can not create a positive life from a negative state of mind.  This isn’t just a cute saying – this is science.  Here are a few of the negative consequences to the body and mind when we are habituated to negativity:

  1. The brain signals the body to produce neurochemicals such as cortisol and adrenaline. These are 💯 necessary for short-term flight-or-fight situations, but when they are circulating in our system long term, they can wreak havoc on our immune system, cardiovascular and neurological function. Long term stress can also trigger DNA markers for genetic disease and shorten telomeres; markers for aging and health, making us old far before our time.
  2. Stress hormones and chemicals can literally become an addiction . When we allow stress to become habitual we learn to depend on the hit of adrenaline and cortisol every time we create drama or stress for ourselves.
  3. Our magnetic field becomes smaller as we draw from it to sustain the increase in stress on our physical functions, decreasing our energy and vitality.
  4. We carry information on our physical and emotional state in our bodies, minds and magnetic field. This information is transmitted to those around us as well as into the quantum field, and remember that what we transmit, we also receive, creating a cycle of lack and unhappiness.

Obviously, none of us want to be creating more unhappiness for ourselves, right?  Though our subconscious programming might be preventing it, ultimately, most of us want to be happy.  

We were born to be creators. And who wouldn’t rather create a life of vitality, beauty and meaning versus one of dis-ease, unhappiness and lack?

If you can recognize that you are in a chronically negative state, you should be able to begin pruning those neural networks that are no longer serving your highest self to begin creating new networks and neurological programs that reflect the reality you wish to see.

An essential aspect of pruning old neural networks and building a new, healthier mindset is training your body’s biology to reflect the emotional reality you want to create.  Our bodies are capable of creating thousands of chemicals that can be used for healing and happiness – or for sickness, anxiety and depression. 

You are capable of moving mountains and creating any reality you can imagine, but in order to get there you must first overcome those pre-set blocks that might be keeping you from living your best life.  

What are you trying to manifest in your life right now? Greater abundance?  A limitless mind? Healing of sickness – or just an optimally functioning body?  An amazing relationship? The career of your dreams? 

Here is the #1 key to training the mind and body to move past those barriers, build new neural networks and step into greater abundance, health, relationship – into living a life of beauty and meaning:  

You have to feel it.

Now your first response to this might be “well duh, genius. We’ve talked about this before. Obviously we need to feel good to create good, right?” 🤔

But the truth is, it’s easier said than done.

 It requires us to look within to find those blocks that we might not even realize are there, keeping us from the life that we desire.  

It requires us taking accountability for the life we have created to this point, which can be deeply painful – and then we have to begin rebuilding ourselves to reflect something new. Which can also be difficult – but also incredibly rewarding.

If you are unsure of what blocks might be holding you back, here is a tool that will help you on your journey: a Visualization/Feeling meditation.

Sit comfortably with your back straight. Allow your mind to become quiet. Breathe deeply into your diaphragm. Try to keep your mind’s focus on your breath, at first. Take as long as you need to quiet the mind’s chatter. When you have found that place where it feels like floating in space – being nowhere, nothing; formless, ask yourself to feel the following:

  1. Abundance. What does it feel like to be abundant, to have all of your needs met, all the time? What might abundance look like in your life? Can you feel a sense of abundance not only in your mind but in your body?
  2. Fearless. Can you imagine – and feel the experience of being completely without fear – of having faith that you can achieve anything and Source/Spirit will have your back? What might you do or try that fear has held you from up to this point? Riding a motorcycle? Pursuing a new career or a newly single high school crush? Try to envision whatever it is fully, making it a sensory experience…. For me, cliff jumping is one of those experiences I can easily bring up to feel fearlessness – the adrenaline rush of looking down to the water far below and the weightlessness of space as I jump and begin falling. The cold water as it hits my feet then my whole body as I am submerged before swimming to the surface, exhilarated and refreshed….
  3. Limitless. This should feel similar to fearlessness but try to come into the feeling state of your own limitless ability. How would it change you if you could do anything, be anyone, think like a genius?
  4. Wealthy. What does this feel like to you? Can you envision having unlimited resources to go anywhere, do anything, help any number of people? Where would you go? What would you do? How would you be different than you are right now? Can you feel what it would be like to be truly wealthy – to have zero lack?
  5. Joy. Can you put yourself in the feeling state of bliss? Can you feel happy not only in your mind, but in every cell of your body? Can you feel joy in your heart?
  6. Perfect health. Try to feel vibrant health resonating in your entire body and mind.
  7. Relationship/love. What type of relationships do you most desire to create? What does having a wonderful relationship with and being deeply valued by a lover, spouse, partner, children, friends, family members – or your community – feel like? Can you see yourself in your ideal situation? What might it look like? Try to be as detailed as you can as you create possibilities in your mind, allowing yourself to feel the wonderful emotions of these relationships and scenarios. This is vitally important, which I will touch on shortly.
  8. Career/job. What would you be doing if you could do anything? Would you be a doctor, lawyer, corporate executive, spy, teacher, guru, or entrepreneur? What did you wish to be when you were a child? Can you feel into that state?

How did this meditation go? Did you get through all of these questions? Did you experience blocks or difficulty on any of them? Most of us have blocks In several of these areas. We are often trained from an early age by our parental figures to be limited or that we lack ability and value.

This is a false bill of goods and deeply unfortunate.  We will never create an ideal world as long as we continue to teach our children that they are flawed and limited.😤

The good news is, these blocks show you the first part of your roadmap to a better reality.  If you experienced a block when you asked yourself to be wealthy, or fearless, or have the relationship of your dreams, you know what programs need to be overlayed with new programs and patterns.  

Which takes us back to visualization and feeling the way that we want to be.  When we put our minds and bodies into a cohesive feeling state, we are not only creating greater health, but we are training ourselves to live in the future reality that we want to see rather than the past reality that has been holding us back.   

We are also creating a magnetic and vibrational field that resonates to those around us and the quantum field, where Source can most readily bring us those components that we need to create the reality of our dreams.  

If you experienced blocks in your ability to come into a feeling state from the exercise above, let’s go back and take each trait or emotion individually.  

When you are ready, find your comfortable seated position. Begin with the first question you experienced difficulty with. Let’s say it was relationship – a hard one for most of us. Likely because of their own issues, our parents taught us that we were not valuable.

As a result, often without even realizing it, we behave in ways that perpetuate this belief in our adult relationships: 

We don’t keep our word to those around us. 

We let ourselves and others down or don’t always behave with honesty and integrity.  

We speak to our loved ones in ways that are harmful.  

We may find ourselves drawn to cheating on our partners – though we don’t want our primary relationship to end.  

We shut down when it comes to communication.

And a host of other dysfunctional behaviors that keep us – and our loved ones -unhappy and perpetuating the belief that we lack value.

Ouch, right?🥵. 

But here’s where we can transform those dysfunctional past subconscious programs into something so much greater and begin building the life and personality/personal reality that we wish to see rather than hating the person that we think we are.  

Let’s say in our personal relationships we have a tendency to be short tempered and resentful, and our communication skills are lacking.  

From your place of meditation, visualize a loving relationship with a partner in which you sit across from them, holding hands as you easily talk about those issues in your relationship that need work.  Feel your heart center completely open, radiating light and warmth in this visualization.  

(In a post a couple of weeks back, I spoke of heart coherence. This visualization will create coherence in your heart and mind not only in this moment, but in future moments as you experience this in reality.).  

Feel the love and acceptance of your partner as you create a greater reality together.  Hold yourself in this space for as long as you are able.  The longer you are able to sustain coherence in meditation, the more you will experience it in everyday life.

Use this basic formula for each quality you wish to embody.   

This may feel difficult at first. Remember that you are overlaying programs that have been there for many years and it will not feel comfortable the first time or even the first few times you practice, but you will notice that the more often you practice this meditation and visualization, the easier it will become. 

From there, you will begin to see what may feel like miracles unfolding as these new neural networks draw into your reality exactly what you wish for.   

This seemingly miraculous creation of new realities is a combination of new neural wiring and firing causing a release of A)different chemical messengers into the brain and body, B)accessing new possibilities in the quantum field, and C) our RAS (remember the Reticular Activating System; the brain’s “reality filter”? Someone mentions a red Fiat and suddenly we see five red Fiats on the freeway that we wouldn’t have noticed before) beginning to allow us to observe and draw to us new aspects of our everyday reality that we wouldn’t have seen with our old wiring and programs. Amazing stuff, right?🤩

Wherever you are, beloved, I hope you will read this and be inspired to become a conscious creator and reality shaper rather than a victim of past neurological programming.  You deserve to be happy.  You deserve to be fulfilled.  You deserve to have your deepest desires and greatest wishes achieved.  I believe in you, and I love you, always. 💖

Formula for Creation Part I

by Terah Drake, posted in Uncategorized

Hello, Beautiful; 

The next few days I am going to take you through a series designed to give you the formula for changing your life for the better, from woe to WOW!, from being a victim of your environment to becoming a deliberate creator.   This formula is science-based and may be the most powerful thing I’ve ever written.  

So don’t scroll past.  

You can not create a positive life with a negative mind. 

Let me put this another way:  

You can not create the life of your dreams if you are living in survival mode.  

If you are experiencing anxiety, fear, frustration, anger or depression on a regular basis, you are in survival mode.  

In this lower frequency (14-40 Hz) Beta brain wave state, your brain is producing cortisol and adrenaline on the regular.  Your heart-brain coherence will be deregulated and your energetic resonance lower, which means you have less access to your energy reserves for brain and body use.  You also produce less energy in your magnetic field, what some call the aura.  

This is measurable and documented in thousands of studies.    

It’s not just a matter of damaging neuropeptides and chemicals, either.  

Your thoughts produce an electrical charge.  Your feelings produce a magnetic charge.  

The combination of these two charges create a resonance that you broadcast into the world at large – measurable in brain and heart monitors and “picked up” by those around us – as well as into the quantum field; that place where we best communicate with Source/God.  

So when we are in chronic stress, we are broadcasting messages of fear.  Of lack.  Of pain – instead of messages of love, faith, joy, and creation.  

And then we wonder why we stay in those same patterns and create the same circumstances over and over and over again; or we wonder why our prayers for a better life aren’t being heard.  

Our prayers are being answered.  We just don’t realize that our resonance isn’t asking the same thing that our mouth is.  

What’s interesting about this is that the Bible specifically says to “pray with thanksgiving”.  Gratitude is mentioned 71 times in the New Testament alone.  The Qur’an mentions gratitude numerous times and is considered a fundamental teaching of Islam.  Buddhist teachings are to cultivate gratitude as an attitude or habit.  

If we want better for ourselves, we need to be in a higher resonance or vibrational state before we start asking, and we need to stay in that state as we ask.  Gratitude is the perfect place to access that higher resonance. 

 If we can do this, miracles can begin to take place.    

Stay tuned tomorrow for a breakdown of how we alter our current trajectory to move from woe is me to WOW is me?

Three sentences

by Terah Drake, posted in Uncategorized

Hello, Beautiful;

I recently read a little quote that was so simple and yet succinct in its message that I wanted to share it with you: “Accept what is.  Let go of what was.  Believe in what will be.”  These three little sentences pretty much sum up the entire message of this and many other books written over the last few thousand years or so.  I believe we come to this plane of existence for three purposes. One, to learn to be a Creator. Scratch that. We are here to learn to be motherf#cking Sourcerers.  We were meant to be wizards; to remember our divinely- connected power to create our existence, for better or for worse. Second, to be of value and service to ourselves and others on this planet.  Third, to have the best possible time while doing it -to have fun, live joyously and enjoy every bliss soaked moment we are given here. But the only way to achieve any of that is to follow those three sentences.  

Accept and honor what is – but remember your ability to change your circumstance at any given moment.  One of my favorite quotes is that everything is either a lesson or a blessing.  So true, if we choose to view the trials we will inevitably experience in that way, and those lessons often turn out to be blessings in disguise!

Let go of what was –  If we are to fully experience the good that these three purposes bring us, the first thing we have to do – and have to continue to practice for as long as we are here – is to release and relinquish all that does not support forward progress.  This is so important I will say it again:  We must release and relinquish all that does not support our forward progress!  And the thing that we most often have difficulty relinquishing is our attachment to the past.  But here’s the thing – we can either allow that attachment to bind us – or help us through learning the valuable lessons they have provided and moving on.  Marie Kando wrote a wildly popular book entitled “The life-changing art of tidying up”.  I believe the reason this book was so highly regarded is that people who were exposed to the message – of letting go – recognized that that which we own often owns us, and there is a slavery in being bound by our possessions.  This message translates directly to the thoughts, memories, and emotions that we hold from the past, often going back to again and again, unable to release those negative feelings, which unfortunately turn into negative patterns of living.  

Trent Shelton, former NFL wide receiver current thought leader/speaker who reaches over 60 million people every week with his honest and engaging youtube videos often reminds us that “If you don’t own your past, your past will own you.”  Until we recognize that truth, we will continue to be slaves to those negative emotions and actions that are connected to our past; unable to move on to the ability to dictate and create our best possible reality that freedom from that slavery can bring us.  

Believe in what will be –  Faith is the foundation of creation.  Taking ownership of our existence and believing not just the possibility but the probability that everything we have dreamed of is within reach, and it is our responsibility on this planet to create the happiest, healthiest and most abundant reality we can – for ourselves and others.  

In the last month and a half, I have had the incredible blessing of purchasing outright a dream sportscar, traveled to Alaska, Charleston, South Carolina, and Scotland, and will be spending three weeks in Portugal from January through February.  The previous year, I spent nearly three months of the year traveling, my favorite trip being the two weeks my daughter and I spent between France and the UK with friends.  I am not a millionaire – yet – but I absolutely believe in my ability to co-create and manifest anything I put my mind to.   

So when I start feeling that itch to get out there and see new things, I remind myself of every glorious blessing currently in my life, then put my love of travel at the forefront of my awareness – so my ability to create the trips I wish for can unfold like cotton candy from a sugar spinner.  I use that analogy because the sweetness of creation feels just like that. Sugar goes into the drum, becomes heated and agitated, and begins spinning out as the delicious, light as air confection that we enjoy in the social, happy environment of fairs, carnivals and circuses. Likewise, when we have faith in our ability to shape our reality, our desires and positive thoughts go into our minds, are taken up by our RAS – (remember the Reticular Activating System, aka our awareness filter?) and the magic begins to unfold as we watch those desires spin into real things.  Like sportscars, amazing trips, dream homes and the ability to share your blessings with others.  

I don’t mention these blessings to brag, though it is incredibly exciting to see thoughts become things, but because I want you to see that you, also are a bountiful, abundant co-creator and director of Source; a capable creator of all that is good.  If I could have just one wish for today, it would be that you would know this to be true, for when your belief meets reality, you, also will understand and be amazed by your ability to create magic and fulfill your wishes and deepest desires.  

An added benefit to this knowledge is that this magic is not a “secret” to be hidden, but I know that when you become a Source-erer, you will be so excited that you will want to share your inspiration with others, as I have.  And maybe, just maybe, in another decade or two, that inspiration and creation will have been passed on to enough people that this whole world will be on fire with it, and just imagine the b place this will be. Can you see it?  I can, and believe me, gorgeous, it is sweeet!  I love you!
