Shifting Your Energy from Lack to Fulfillment

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall


Do you find yourself feeling disappointed sometimes with the way things are in your life?


Do you find yourself thinking... with all I know and all I have, why am I not as happy as I think I should be?

With all I've done to create the life I want, why am I not feeling fulfilled like I think I should?

I know what it's like. To know so much, to have so many tools, yet looking around at your life and not seeing it be the way you want. Or maybe having a lot of what you want and not being capable of feeling the joy you thought it would bring you.

I have learned that no matter what happens on the outside, no matter how good the outer is matching what you wanted, you still have to become the person who is happy and who enjoys life. If you don't become this person, it can be an empty chase of the outer trying to make you feel better within.

What have you had your fixed focus on manifesting? For me it was always career. To do what I love full-time. When this outer reality finally appeared I realized something. I hadn't shifted who I was to be the person who could fully live this in a way that felt good throughout the days.

The truth is, the outer can't make you feel good. And I love finally knowing that when you become the person who feels good, the outer manifestations you want come so much easier. And more than that, they just add to how good you already feel, rather than make you feel good.

What a shift.

Sound like something that you're ready for?

Take action. Let's get you started moving toward this reality.

Light the Path to Your Potential Action:

Give yourself 5 to 10 minutes of time to yourself where you can be undistracted and really give yourself the space to connect with this new you, the person who fully enjoys life.

Pull out a pen and paper and let yourself get quiet, get comfortable and relax.

Close your eyes and let yourself imagine what life would be like if you had all you wanted and lived a life you fully enjoyed. Let the scene play out in your mind. Let yourself really tap into the feeling space of that life. Notice the vibration you hold as you live this life. Let yourself be in this state for as long as you like.

And realize that you created this feeling out of thin air. You are fully capable of feeling this way now. Let yourself tap into this feeling as often as you like and become the person who feels like this as your normal state.

Are you tired of doing all you can and not being able to fully enjoy your life on a consistent basis?

Is there something within you saying "it's time", time for you to give yourself the support you need to really make the shift in your life that you're ready for...

To step out of disappointment and "trying" and to really move yourself forward to that next level and to the fulfillment and abundance that's waiting for you?

I'd love to help you get there, and I have a step by step process to help you do that. Give yourself the gift of starting on the journey from here to being that person who fully enjoys their life and is in a place where creating is so much easier.

Open to a New Way of Seeing Things

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall


What if every single thing that happened in my life, happened to lead me to the life I have always wanted to live?

What if all the challenges I faced were to not just help me grow, but to help take me to my most amazing life?

To help me become the person I need to be to be able to attract and live that life as my reality?

What if the Universe is fully supporting me and always has been, to move into the life that calls to my heart?


How would I be different if I believed this at a deep level?

How would I approach the challenges that came my way, knowing that with each one I grow I get that much closer to all I want?

What if I truly knew the Universe was supporting me 100% in helping me create the life I have always wanted?

Would I get frustrated when challenges come up, or would I be grateful for the opportunity to take me forward?

Would I just have the determination to quickly move through the challenges I face, knowing the good that will come of them?

Would I still focus on what is not working or would I start to see all the magnificent ways the Universe is supporting me?

What if everything that happened to me, happened to take me to the life that makes my heart sing?

This is the truth that I have found and with this truth came an understanding that truly supports me. One that has led me to continuous, conscious
forward movement, into living a life that gets more and more amazing all the time. Despite any challenges that come my way.

What is Your "New Normal"?

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall


Did you know that one of the biggest challenges to creating new things in your life is that you must literally create a new "normal" for yourself?

This has been my experience, particularly in creating the work I love as my full-time career. The old normal that I lived in was fairly low-energy. Looking back
I see that the primary feeling I had day to day was sort of a dullness, a longing for something more and at the same time feeling stuck and the lack of it.

One of the most important lessons I learned in transitioning from Mechanical Engineering to my Intuitive Coaching and Healing business was that it wasn't just about "receiving" this dream of mine. More than anything it was about becoming the person who lived that dream as her every day reality.

So imagine my surprise when I left my old career and was now available to my new career full time, and I realized that I had to become the person who truly enjoyed my work. The work I loved could only bring me the fulfillment that I deeply desired if I became the person who could fully live it and enjoy it day to day.

My "normal" had to change.

So there is much more to changing your reality than just changing the external situations. The Law of Attraction is always in operation. So if you change the external situation, you will continue to experience the same reality until you change your vibration, until you feel as good as that wonderful new reality you
envision.

So take a moment now to check in and to really be honest with yourself. Notice how you feel right now. Take a look over the last week and notice how you felt. What was your overall energy? What primary energy or feel do you experience as your normal?

Give yourself a minute to do this, close your eyes and really connect to the general feeling that lies at the foundation of your days. Acknowledging your current reality is a HUGE step in being able to go forward. It is far more powerful than denial. Write down a few notes on this to help make it concrete and ground your awareness.

And now take a look at what you are really wanting to create in your life. Really let yourself start to feel the energy in this new experience, this new life. How
would you feel if that was your reality? What would your new normal look like? Write down what this is like.

And give yourself a moment to see how different the energy is in these two different realities. How does your new normal compare to your current normal?

And now open your mind. Close your eyes and let yourself relax. Have the intention that you are looking to see how you might begin to shift your current normal in the direction of this new life that is possible for you.

One way to do this is to focus on feeling the new energy as often as you can. This is not just about focusing on what you want, this is about bringing in a new energy that can help raise you to the desires you have for your life. A much more powerful way to manifest as your energy is in alignment with the reality that you want.

Take Action!

What can you do today that will help you to feel the new energy of your desire? Even if it's something small, sitting out in the sun, giving yourself time to
relax and enjoy a good book, calling up that fun friend of yours you don't spend enough time with. Whatever matches the new energy of your desire.

How do you feel, how do you act in this new life? In what way can you adjust yourself and way of being to be more in line with this new you?

Take action today to move forward into this new life, to creating a new normal for yourself that will allow your desires to come much more easily to you.

Open to the Incredible Potential For Your Life!

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

We live in a Universe of constant expansion. We will never get it done, we will never reach some final destination. Our mind tends to think that there is some final destination, where you will finally be able to "relax" and then enjoy your life.

I have found this not to work for myself. In leaving behindmy old career and doing this work I love full-time I reallygot that. My mind told me "once I'm doing what I love, then I'll be happy". Yet the reality showed me otherwise.

We are the only ones who can change our reality. And inmy experience you never do it "out there". It is definitelyan inside job. And what a blessing that is, there is no needto push and chase something that is outside of you!

Anything that might happen in your future, any new realtionships that might unfold, new career paths that couldopen up, exciting new experiences that you may have...all of this exists within YOU right now as potential.

We are so conditioned to focus outside of us to find whatwe want. I'm sure you have some understanding that youcreate your life. And that truly powerful creation does not occur just by doing alone. Many people who are just takingaction to finally reach some wonderful destination, may never get there.

Why is that?

Let's go to the basics of the Law of Attraction. You attractinto your life what matches your thoughts, beliefs and energy.

So if you are in a mode of constant doing, you are so focusedon working towards that one day where life will be good, what is your energy like?

Your energy says "I am in a mode of doing this and that in order to get there where I will finally be happy".

So your energy says you are not there yet, you have to work to get there.

So from this energy space, by the law of attraction, you will always attract into your life more things to do to help you get there. You will continue to do, do, do and your final destination will always be outside of yourself.

What does this have to do with the potential that's ready to unfold in your life?

The potential is within you. The potential must be present within you in order for it to manifest as the situations, relationships and wonderful experiences in your life.

You have to live your potential in order to attract it.

And just what is this potential?

Think of it as a new "normal", one that is rich with energyand positive qualities. One where you are more of the real you. Perhaps one where you feel freedom, ease,
joy, richness on a daily basis.

That is the potential for your life, we all have a unique potential we can access based on where we are at at this particular moment.

Open your mind now to what that might be. How wouldyou feel when you have actually manifested what you want? How would you be? What would life feel like?

The energy of that potential is available for you right now.It can be tapped into and can transform the situations,relationships and every day reality you have into a high-energy experience.

Who says "normal" can't feel great?

Start accessing that potential right now. What is one of the qualities or feelings you had as you looked at being at your destination.

Maybe it's aliveness. Live it now. Bring in that energy, breathe it in, let it become you, how you feel and who you are. And from that wonderful space, what does your life look like? What can you do right now to live that feeling, that quality in this moment?

Go for a walk? Call up a friend? Meditate?

Take action from this space and you will begin to live your potential. And when you live your potential your energy is higher and you will begin to attract other wonderful experiences to match it.

A different way to approach your desired destination, a way where you match the energy of your desired outcome and therefore it must manifest. The more you live this,the more your "normal" shifts and you begin to attract all the wonderful things to match it.

Shift Out of Disconnection and into Connection and Presence

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

How much of your day is spent in "go, go, go" mode? Where your mind is in charge and has completely let behind your emotions and body… Where you feel a sort of tiredness all over. Where everything seems to be without life and joy.

How often do you spend in this disconnected state?

In my experience, it is this state that holds us back from the wonderful joy that lies all around us, waiting to be discovered. It is the state that leads to struggle.

It is our mind or ego fully in charge, not considering or caring about our deepest desires, only concerned with performing, with getting it done, with "doing it right" Sound familiar?

This disconnection is SO common in our society. I know it’s the mode I was in throughout my University, pushing my way through a career I chose, having to "do my best" above all else. Letting the most important priorities, my happiness, health, relationship success, need for fun and adventure fall to the side.

I have found that this disconnected state, although "normal", is driven by a couple key things:

1. Attachment to the outcome

We are so focused on what end result we are trying to achieve that we forget the JOURNEY IS OUR LIFE!

The results are not our life, the journey is our life. We feel the outcome is so important that all else is secondary. How we feel, our bodies, our happiness, our relationships, our fun seems to get so easily forgotten.

Take the household errands for example. You need to get groceries, take the kids to here and there, drop this off here, on and on. Isn’t it normal to think "I’ll feel better when I get it all done". You see the outcome as the place you must get to. And when you get there you’ll be happy.

But does this ever happen? Do you ever get it all done?

So where does that leave you? In a constant state of "getting things done" that never leads to the future outcome that you want of being happy.

Funny how attachment to the outcome is actually pushing away the outcome we want.

2. The need to be in control

When we feel like the only way to get a desired outcome is to take action our ego takes over and goes full speed ahead. "I have to do this", "If I don’t do this, that will happen", "If I don’t do it, who will?"

This is ego once again, and this creates a disconnect from Spirit, the energy that can actually feed us and allow us to take action with inspiration and energy. We end up taking empty, energy-draining actions that deplete rather than feed us.

Law of attraction says that from this state, we can only attract more of the same… more empty feeling emotions, more draining actions to take, more disconnection, and even more things we need to control.
I don’t know about you but this all seems too tiring to keep up! What about what you really want? What about feeling good? What about your deepest desire to _______?

Can you really make it happen from this disconnected state?

Now lets paint a better-feeling picture…

What if your life was filled with actions that felt good deep down to take. What if your life was actually a joy to live, throughout all the activities of your day? What if from this good feeling space, the things you really wanted came more easily and naturally?

I’d like to help you move in this direction if you are feeling ready…

Light the Path to Your Potential Call to Action:

Get out a piece of paper and pen. Read the following questions and allow the answers to come to you, then write them down:

1. In what area of my life am I in "go, go, go" mode? How does it feel to be in this energy?

2. How does this feeling of disconnection impact my life?

3. What else is me being in this energy state causing in my life?

4. Is this really serving me?

5. What would connection look and feel like? What would it be like if I was fully connected to my true self and living from that higher energy?

There is such a wisdom within that we have access to! Take action on this, how can you BE connected now?

Use Contrast to Take You to Your Desires

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

Contrast is a part of life as we are on a path of continual growth and expansion. The Universe is in a state of constant expansion and that is how it is supposed to be.



Look at your own life for a moment and see the contrast of where you are now to where you were 5 years ago. Even where you were 6 months ago. Notice any contrast from now to then?

The truth is, as you grow and expand, you are taking your life to a new level in the way you feel and the reality you experience. Would you ever turn back the clock to live back where you used to be? I doubt it. You are on a path of growth and of taking your life to wonderful new places it has never been before. Whether that’s internal in the way you feel or external shown in the experiences in your life.

So contrast is a part of life, but more than that, it can be used as a powerful tool to take you higher, to move you forward into the life you are creating for yourself.

I’m sure you have some intentions for your life. Think of one of them now, maybe you want to have your ideal body. We’ll use that as an example, lets say you don’t take very good care of your body and you would like to lose some weight and feel better about your body.

Your intention is strong, you are visualizing your body as you want it to be, imagining how it would feel to have that body. How you would be so confident, feel great physically, work out often, eat healthy foods. How great that would feel you imagine.

You are motivated for a bit, go for a walk, work out, start to eat healthier, then what tends to happen?

Suddenly one day you don’t feel like going for a walk. You start craving things you know your body doesn’t really want. You start to feel down and discouraged.

This is normal!

You are moving from the old you (your current body, or other situation you’re focusing on) to the new you. What’s the difference? Contrast.

The new you is fit, energetic, alive, treats her body like a temple with exercise and the best of foods. Feel the energy of that person. Isn’t it incredible!

And imagine the contrast from that person to who you are now. If you think of contrast in terms of light, you are moving from a darker light to a brighter, more vibrant light.

There is such a high energy to where you are going, to what you are manifesting and at the moment you are not there yet. You will attract situations such as the lack of motivation, feeling down and discouraged, etc. (we’ll call this "contrast" from now on) because you’re not there yet! There's still lower, darker energy within you that needs to be upgraded for you to live that new life and have that new body!

So there is a hidden blessing here.

The contrast is coming up to help show you where you are off and what needs to be moved into alignment in order to be that new you. The contrast is where the Universe is guiding you to a low energy way of being that needs to shift so you can discover how to be that new you.

Next time contrast comes up, which tends to show up as those situations that seem like the opposite of what you’re trying to manifest, next time I want you to try something new…

Exercise: Use contrast to open to a new way that matches your desires

Next time you are faced with a situation that feels so far from what you want in your life, stop and ask yourself:

"In what way is the Universe trying to show me the mis-alignment between my current way of being and the new, high-energy way of being I'm wanting to move into?"

Recognize that you are experiencing and old energy way of being that needs to be upgraded. This old way is so natural to you, it’s automatic. But you take yourself off automatic when you stop and question it.

Express your intent to go higher: "I now see my automatic, old energy way of being that has attracted this experience that’s showing me the contrast, and I am now willing to let go of that way of being so I may align more fully with who I really am and what I really want in my life"

And then, open your mind to receive guidance, energy or information: "I am open to a new way of being that is aligned with where I’m going, with who I’m becoming". Open to receive it and take action on what you receive. Affirm through your action that you are ready to live this new way.

You are on your way, and the contrast is to help you get there. Next time you feel it or see it in front of you, stop and open to a new way of being that’s ready to unfold. It is your willingness to open to and adopt a new way of being that will help accelerate you from where you are now, to where you wanting to be.

Why it's so hard to create that "better" life!!

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

I'm sure you've been there, maybe you're there right now. Wanting your life to be better, your love to be better, your career to be better, your life to feel better. Yet not ever fully being able to move from here to "better".

Maybe you start moving forward in the direction of better. Maybe you've started using some manifesting tools that you've learned about. You feel good, you know you're moving forward and you're excited about how things will be.

So why is it you can't stay in that forward momentum?

Why is it there always seems to be something that comes up and knock you down and bring you back to the normal you are used to?

Why does it seem so hard to create the positive shifts you are looking for?

It's only hard when you don't realize that there is a process to it. When you think that the challenges are coming up to show you that it's not possible for you to have what you want. When you don't realize that you need to shift internally to become the person you will be when you're living what you want as your reality.

And it's hard when you don't understand what it takes to shift internally to become that person who lives that "better" life as thier reality.

I'll share with you one thing I have come to learn helps this become easier. That has allowed me to stop searching for that "better" life and to instead start living it.

The journey toward that "better" life is really an inward journey from who you are now, who you have been unconsciously, to who you you know you can be.

Yes you take action as well. All the external things will show up, all the actions you need to take, you will take, from that new energy you.

The real journey is internal. And you will be faced with external challenges on this journey. Those external challenges are there on purpose. You are being guided to that "better" place, to being that "better" you. And the challenges that come up are uniquely designed to help you do that.

And when you see the challenges as not something to overcome, but something to help you create that "better" life, to become that "better you", you begin to see how truly supported you are in creating that life.

The Universe wants you to live that life, it is here to fully support you in making it happen. But if you get frustrated and give up because there's a challenge you're telling the Universe you're giving up.

So next time you find a challenge coming up as you move toward this "better" place, ask yourself:

1. What is this situation showing me about how I am now, perhaps that has been unconscious before and doesn't match that "better" life I want to live?

2. In what way could I shift my thinking, energy or way of being to match that "better" person I'll be when I'm living that "better" life?

3. How is this challenge allowing me to become the person who lives that "better" life as her reality?

Don't just respond from your mind. Get quiet. There is an infinite wisdom that is available to all of us, but it comes in stillness, through the mind, but not from the mind. Open to what can be. Be willing to release attachment to struggle. Allow ease. Allow yourself to shift with ease.

Of course, there are times when the challenges are bigger or heavier and you need more powerful tools. And even if you don't have those tools, use this process. Just asking the questions gets the Universe supporting you to find your answers and having you open to overcoming the challenges rather than resisting them.

Moving through these challenges and being willing to grow into the person you need to be to live that "better" life is what I have found is necessary to move to that "better" life. Embrace the journey and what you need can come to you much more easily and moving into that "better" life becomes a reality rather than a dream.

Don’t Be Held Back by Your Logical Mind

Copyright 2008 Fia Crandall

We are blessed to have such powerful minds to put to work for us. Unfortunately, our minds tend to end up getting a much bigger role than they should. This can cause us to be held to the same old comfortable reality, which I imagine, you would probably like to see improvements in!
Our logical mind has a definite purpose, it can figure things out, it can plan, it can analyze, figure out how to make things work, figure out how to implement a plan. These are all wonderful things that help us in our day to day life.

But the logical mind is just that, logical. It does what "makes sense".

And just what makes sense to the logical mind? What has worked in the past. What it has seen work for others.

Hmm, let's see, so if you are making decisions and living your life with your logical mind in charge, what could the future possibly look like?

Same as the past!!!

And is that what you want? I'm guessing no. We are always growing and expanding and with that comes the desire for more. That is a natural part of this life and it is a good thing.
So how can you prevent your logical mind from holding you back like this?

It helps to see it from a bigger perspective. You see, if the mind had the perspective of the soul it would have a much bigger picture of your life and of what is possible. It would not look to the past to see what to do. It would see the potential and move forward.

But the logical mind does not see this big picture. It only sees what is and what has been.
So if you are wanting to take your life to a new level, to break into wonderful new territory do you really want to be putting your logical mind in charge?

I don't think so.

So how do you deal with this? Who is in charge then?

You.

You are not your mind. Your mind is a tool you have available to you.

And you have the ability to access higher information through your intuition. You can receive guidance from a higher part of yourself that sees the big picture.

It is up to you to choose how you make decisions in your life. From the logical mind, or maybe based on a higher knowing. You choose.

That is why your intuition is an important part of this journey to your even better life. It is your access to the big picture. And you may never get to see that bigger picture and that doesn't matter. You just need the insight from the part of you that does see it.

So now it's time for action! You'll only get so far with just reading. If you truly want to take your life to a new level, here is an exercise that will help you begin to give your logical mind it's rightful role and open to a higher wisdom that knows how to take you there. This is a simple yet powerful exercise to help you do this.

Exercise: Self-Awareness, Opening to Higher Wisdom

For this exercise, and in life, it is helpful to see yourself as the observer of your mind. That way you have the true power to decide, rather than just leaving it up to the part of you that only knows the old way.

Get out a piece of paper and a pen. At the top of the paper, write: My Ideal Life.

Then, close your eyes, take a couple deep breaths and allow yourself to begin to imagine what that ideal life might look like. When you really start feeling good, begin to write out a few of the things or experiences that you would like to have, what your ideal life is like.

And when you are done, take your list and really look at it. Review your list and ask yourself: "Could I really do this? Could I really have that?"

And see what thoughts come to mind, be honest with yourself, one of the biggest trip ups on this path is to pretend you are more positive than you are, I know this all too well! When you notice these thoughts, write them down not in detail, just the main idea.

Now begin to take a look at these thoughts and ask yourself:

Is this thought telling me why I can't do it? Is this thought about HOW it can't happen? Is this thought denying the possibility of it happening?

If so, recognize that it is just your logical mind in it's limited perspective, seeing only what has been to determine what will be in the future.

Now let's open this up! Take the negative thoughts you know are from your logical mind and ask the question: "Am I 100% sure that this is true?"

And if you aren't 100% sure it's true, ask: "Could it maybe be possible for me to have this thing I want?" And just allow your mind to calm down and open to receiving wisdom from a higher source. This is easy, no need to make it harder than it is. Simply see what new thoughts, images or ideas come up.

You've just seen your logical mind in action and opened to a higher wisdom, congratulations! Begin to notice throughout the day these similar thoughts that tie you to the past. Question these thoughts, "are you 100% sure that it's true?" and if not, open to a higher possibility.

A powerful skill that can help you break out of the old and into that wonderful life you've been envisioning, stopping your logical mind from holding you back from it!
