The Vibe And Shine

Photo By: Monique Grobler Current State of Affairs I’m feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. And while I’m not complaining, I do feel it’s important to acknowledge that I’m choosing to consciously give myself a break. I’ve got a lot going on. A little too much I think, and it’s not giving me time with myself where I’m really having Quality Time with myself. Just me, and myself. No distractions. My full, unbridled attention, on me. You might not know this, but I have a full-time day job from Monday to Friday from 9-5. I run the house I live in as a guesthouse, and this blog is my passion project so that I feel I am living with some purpose. I play sport twice a week and work on my blog in the evenings, and weekends are spent creating visual content and seeing people I vibe with. When I started this blog, I didn’t have a job, or this house to host people from around the world, or anything really. A chasm between the old and the new after a major upgrade vibrationally. A ...

Wow! What a ride the past six months have been. It's time for one cycle to close, and a new one to begin. With summer here in the southern hemisphere coming to an end, so too does the wild, chaotic, outward exploration of experience this season has been. I knew it was going to be tough, but here I am... six months of non-stop action with one week to go before I head off on vacation to begin my 40th year of life on this crazy blue and green marble in space. This week feels as though it's the grand finale after extreme amounts of energetic pushing, yet flowing at the same time. Does that even make sense? Somehow it does, and in a way I sense balance. I am filled with a multiverse of emotion right now, and not wanting to get sucked into a victim mentality, but rather take a position of an objective witness, I begin to notice the culmination and effect of all that energy spent so relentlessly as I challenged myself to do my best. I have also been keeping tabs open on how...

Have you ever been in a position in life where you really wanted something, and as you went to pick it up and take it, someone else arrived and announced they wanted it too? What did you do? I know I have been 'guilty' of being 'considerate' and letting the other person have it instead of me because I wanted to be nice. But then I didn't have the thing and I know, somewhere deep inside me, I believed that person deserved it more than me. It was only when I got angry with someone farting in front of me and it was smelly, after I had repeatedly asked them not to do that that I had my breakthrough epiphany on it: Why are some people okay with me being uncomfortable just so they can be comfortable? Why can't that person exercise some manners and go for a walk to unleash the gaseous vomit ball from their ass? Yes, farting is natural, but you don't have to rub it in people's faces. Where is the consideration of others? In that instance it was nowh...

Someone asked me yesterday how I decide on a topic to write about because my words always seem to synchronise with where they are at in their life. My answer was quite simply that each week I choose to write about what I am sitting with in my life at the time of writing. I have a list of subjects I want to write about in case I am ever stuck for something to pour out and pay forward, but for the most part, either inspiration hits me, or a process of my own is unfolding and I am remembering the tools and skills I have learned along the way to navigate my way through it. This week, I'm in a state of emotional purging. It always begins the same way: my life is in a wonderful space and I am building a better and better life for myself daily. I am dedicated and committed to my personal evolution and being the best person I can be. I like who I am, respect who I am, and love myself. I have everything I need and want. I have amazing people in my life. I am busy and my life is...

Another important aspect in creating and manifesting the life you want is to open yourself up to receiving it. Time and time again I have noticed myself and others saying no to help and opportunities that are being offered. Pride gets in the way when others offer us help, or we can feel scared to experience new things. Saying no tells life we are not open to receiving. Even if it's something you can do on your own and you don't need the help, saying yes to someone assisting you puts out to life that you are open to getting new things in. If you're wanting to manifest money, being open to allowing even minuscule amounts in tells life you're open to receiving. Sometimes I'll find a 10c coin on the floor and instead of leaving it laying on the ground, I'll pick it up and say “YES! I'm in the vicinity of my manifestation.” Even though it's a small amount, the energy I'm putting out is that I'm open to receiving. Then bigger amounts star...

Photo By: Monique Grobler. Here's Why Taking Action Is Necessary For Manifestation: Thus far, in my manifestation series of posts, we've already discussed holding a vision of what you want, consciously choosing thoughts that are directed toward what you want, and aligning your emotions with what you want. Now let's discuss 'action' as the next of the focused energies involved in the manifestation process. 'Action' as an energy for manifestation means we take our attention, and we push towards it using our physical faculties. If you're hungry, what 'action' do you take for the manifestation of food after feeling into what you are in the mood to eat? You get up, and you take action. Either, the food's manifestation will come about through you preparing and cooking yourself a meal, or you're going to make a call and order some take out or delivery food. Regardless of whether you've done it yourself or not, ...

Photo By: Monique Grobler It's time to talk about the role of ' vision ' in the manifestation process, and introduce you to the concept of your creation vortex for manifestation purposes. We've discussed ' thought ' and ' emotion ' as focused energies involved in the manifestation process, I've explained the importance of choosing quality thoughts which are being directed at your target with precision for manifestation, and also let you know of the importance of performing energy management through your emotions to keep you in a receptive mode for higher vibrational manifestation to come in and land. Become A Visionary When it comes to manifestation, having a vision of the experience you desire is an essential part of the manifestation process. So what is vision ? Well, put simply, it's the action of perceiving the world around us with our ocular intake channels (our eyes). With regards to the manifestation process, 'vision...
