Note from Daria ~ Newsletter 18 Jan 2011

Oh what a week!

Last week was download week for me, and I’m still catching up with reality.  Messages, classes, marketing campaigns, coincidental offers — it all popped in, one after another after another. Almost to overwhelm level.

Have you experienced this yourself?  When your creativity goes crazy, and you become a fountain of ideas?  It’s exciting!  We are each connected to the Pool of All Possibilities, and when we open that connection, we can pull in new, life-enhancing options.  We can make the impossible possible.

Then the BIG question becomes: what do I do about it first?  

Doing something about it is where GIA comes in.  We give you the practical tools and systems to shift that creative fountain of ideas to a well-oiled, enjoyable business, practice or career. 

Here’s my favorite first step:  always always write down the idea or insight that came in. This action honors the Source of the idea.  It’s like saying thank you, plus you ARE taking the FIRST STEP to manifesting the concept in the physical/mental world.  

I keep a “Brainstorms” file on the computer where I write these down, plus a little notebook in my purse.  A beautiful journal would be delightful.

Another good reason to write them down is that sometimes these download experiences can be like dreams — you may have shifted into an altered state, so when you start operating in the everyday world, the brilliant ideas fade like a dream in the morning.  Though they were earth-shattering, now you can’t remember them.

So write them all down, right away.  Then enjoy sifting thru that Brainstorms file now and again to find insights and ideas you can still use.

Let me know how this strategy goes.  Here’s to you and your highest calling!!  

Many blessings,

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

—Emily Dickinson

Imagine yourself as a small seed.

Contained in that tiny seed is the complete pattern of the full, complex plant in its greatest fruition. All the fullness of its potential beauty and delight and glory and gifts for the world is already there.  All the information it needs to fulfill its pattern and potential is there.  It lacks nothing in its essence or core pattern.

I also guarantee that a more powerful potential outcome than you can even imagine is in that seed, too.  It’s merely not realized in the physical world… yet.

All you have to do is allow what’s in that seed — the inner wisdom and full innate pattern — to unfold. It already knows how to.  It knows a zillion ways how to.  It has the information.  It has infinite potential.  Your job is simply to assist.

• To provide the most nurturing environment without suffocating or stunting growth.
• To exercise and master your ability to help without slowing the process.
• To build faith and trust in the seed’s potential and to step back and allow it to fulfill its greatest potential.

These are the seven steps of Awakening, which we practice each month here at GIA.  They are so important, we’ve provided a free ebook with more details on how to do those steps!  If you haven’t gotten a copy, sign up for it now at the top of the page.

Start now.  This is the year for your success!

2012 is coming up fast.  But people need you now.  This is the year to learn to step aside, uplevel, and let the seed that is you unfold more quickly into its greatest expression. Here are three steps to get you going:

1. Let go right now and allow the seed to be settled by gravity into its best place.  So often we are so obsessed with finding the “right” place or time that we never begin.

2. Step aside and let the rain soften the soil.  Allow the sun to shine on the growing plant, whatever it looks like in its awkward youth.  All you have is right under your nose… if you can see it.

3. Know that everything is best in the moment.  Trust that everything IS in there already and can emerge.  Trust that you have the power to help the seed within you.  Trust that the inner pattern of the seed knows a million ways to emerge and flower, and it’s hard to get in its way.  And trust that the rain, sun and other resources you need will appear as you need them.  If you find yourself worrying or getting in the way, you can actively work on building this trust.

You are a powerful being, constantly growing and increasingly fulfilling your potential.  May you enjoy many blessings on your exciting journey of growth this year!

If you are ready to make 2011 you year, we are here to make it easier and quicker for you, especially if you are here to help the world awaken.  Check out our amazing benefits HERE, and start your membership right away.

May 2011 the year you finally truly sprout your true purpose to help Awaken the planet! What can you do to start right now?  Take one simple step right now, in the next 10 minutes.

“The answers to your questions, dreams, and prayers are limited first by your not asking them.

The second limitation comes from not seeing or accepting the answers in front of you.

The third from not believing the answers came from within you where your capacity to accomplish them already exists.”

     –Daria Boissonnas, Founder, Global Institute for Awakening

Unfortunately, I see these three limitations over and over in my mentoring.  Just came across them yesterday in our astonishing Clear Wisdom calls, which you can listen to free by registering here:  http://giawaken.com/2011/01/final-cw-holiday-call/   In Clear Wisdom, I tune into the higher consciousness of the client to help them find the most effective efficient way to help Awaken the world.  See if you can hear a little bit of pushback on these calls.  (Extra credit:  figure out which of the three issues each person is having.)

As you Awaken to your life’s purpose, your full capabilities (much greater than you can even imagine right now), and the ease with which you can live a blissful life making permanent positive change in the world… then these limitations disappear.

Dear Powerful Being of Compassion,

I hope you enjoyed the long holiday weekend!  We had a great family Christmas, very low key, fun and cosy for all the kids — the ones between 5 and 15, and the two 40-something kids as well. 

For the last month I have been SOOOooo looking forward to the new year.  There’s something magical about a clean calendar, a new accounting year, and a fresh start.  I love taking stock of all I’ve learned, deeply appreciating how far I’ve come and who has helped me get here, and deciding where I am going next.  We have the bubbly fruit juice, champagne, and flutes all lined up for a New Year’s eve celebration. 

How about you?  What do you love about the new year?  Do you do resolutions or not and why?  Tell us in the comments below!

Ever Long for All the Answers?

Tomorrow — tomorrow is even better than New Year’s for three brave volunteers.  Did you ever wish someone could just TELL you, step by step, exactly what to do to resolve a problem or reach a goal — once and for all? 

I know I have.  I’ve been frustrated and stuck trying something SO many different ways and STILL not knowing why it’s not working or what I’m doing “wrong”.

Luckily, all the answers are within you at all times.  Imagine my joy and honor to do that for my clients:  to help them tap their inner guidance and higher self to discover, step by step, exactly what to do to solve their challenges and reach their goals, once and for all. They learn how to PERMANENTLY  break limiting patterns with very simple exercises! 

It’s surprising what comes up.  Last week, one client needed to sing reguarly in front of an audience to better connect with Source and improve her life in all areas.  Another needed to get out of the house twice a day to break a food addiction.  Fascinating!

Tomorrow, Tuesday the 28th, you can hear me do this LIVE for three more brave souls from among our members & fans who boldly stepped up and said “yes please”.  Click here to register.

This type of session is usually done in private, but you have this rare opportunity to listen in to the magic on Tuesday.   Get the audio recordings too when you register for the free call, and you can listen any time.

Last week’s Clear Wisdom holiday gift call was powerful!  Tears were shed and great obstacles to following our volunteers’ spiritual callings were moved and removed!  (Also it was so powerful we got blown off the phone three times, and the conference service has no idea why.  Hopefully things will go more smoothly with a new number!  Click here to register and get it.)

Healing will flow through this session and to all who listen, so if you’d like to break through your own obstacles, please join us! 

Call In, Enjoy the Readings, Get Some Healing

This month’s spiritual practice focus for members is being of service.  Asking that question:  “How can I be of most service?”  It shifts you out of suffering, ends the negative stories in your head, and focuses you on possibility and potential.  Better than that, this spiritual practice allows you to make a BIG meaningful difference wherever you go, with whatever you have, and however you are. 

Watch this video, where a man comes to understand the power of this spiritual practice, and then try it a few times today yourself.  Let us know what you think, and how practicing goes!

Mastery is not just about planning better.  Planning is an exercise of the thinking mind.  Mastery involves the knowing mind.  You must train your thinking mind to be guided by your knowing mind, and implement for it. 

Mastery comes from developing the HABITS of operating from the guidance of your knowing mind, positive habits, skills and a mindset that easily creates spiritual & material success.  Sure, you may plan better after you develop some mastery habits….  but planning better by itself will not bring mastery.

Are you developing these habits?  Regularly?  Do you have a step-by-step system to take you from “boohoo” to “woohoo”?

We do.  Build 10 new masterful habits a year with us.  http://GIAwaken.com/benefits   We challenge you to see how good your life can get in 2011.      Join today.

Hello Beautiful Soul!

We’ve been busy here, reviewing how far we’ve come (WOW!) and planning for next year.

Soon we will announce next year’s 10 life-enhancing core curriculum topics. They are exciting — we will challenge a few popular misunderstandings and empower you to make a bigger difference as you live an easier life!

Do NOT miss January’s training for members on Effective Energy Protection: Top Secrets and Techniques of the Energetically Secure.  January’s guest expert interview will be with Juliet Oberding, the lawyer to healers. We’ll talk about protecting your business or practice energetically and legally.  Join us today as a member, and start 2011 off on a strong note!

Beyond that, I have two BIG announcements:

1. Six Complimentary Consulting Sessions Available

Happy New Year!  Next week is the first of two calls where we are offering six F R E E Clear Wisdom intuitive consulting sessions to you, our fans and members. It’s one way we give back to you, and help you blast through your challenges so you can take your life to the next level of health, wealth, wisdom and joy.

*** Calendar these Calls ***
Dates: Tuesdays, December 21 & 28, 2010
Time: 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern
Call: 402-237-2972, conference code 4632742#

2. A New 4-month fast-track Think Like a Healer™ program launching soon

Ready to make a quantum leap in your business/career or personal/family life next year?  Watch for our 4-month fast-track Think Like a Healer™ program.  We’ll teach you the mindset and attitude of someone who has mastered life’s challenges: a master healer.  More than that, we’ll give you the exercises to develop the skills and habits of a master healer.

We will answer your questions in the next few weeks, talking about anything from hand analysis to intuition, from manifesting easily to creating new paradigms of success, prepare to expand your mindset and life.  Watch for our announcements!

Many blessings,

We had been shoveling snow for over an hour this afternoon.  It had been loads of giggles with the kids, but now the temperature was starting to drop.  The wind seemed to have frozen one side of my legs and face.  I was getting tired and we weren’t done.  

So guess what — my thinking mind ran with those facts, off in its own direction.  I thought of all the other valuable things I could be doing.  And all the reasons I should be doing those things instead of this.  Excuses, complaints, wishes, and guilt trips.  My mind was off my work.  All I could see was how much more there was to do.

Then I remembered our spiritual practice focus for this month:  being of service.  All you have to do is ask, “How can I be of the most service here?”  And do it.  This practice can snap you out of boredom, misery, self-pity, and worse.  Fast.

It worked. 

How could I be of most service?  The answer was to lift everyone’s flagging spirits.  (There was a LOT of snow!)  So I joked around with my kiddos.  We got silly.  I helped the littler ones sled down the front steps.

The answer was to keep shoveling, and I did.  Faster.

The answer was to appreciate the crisp air, the gorgeous snow, the beautiful way it looks on the pines.  And I took a long moment to do that.  I can see it even now as I type.  I’m so glad I paused for that.

Suddenly I was having fun again.  I was present in the moment.  I was appreciative.  And best of all, I was in service.  The rest of the time skittered by quickly.

Develop the Positive Habits of the Spiritually & Materially Successful

Shifting into service is a skill, a mindset and — if you practice it – a powerful habit that keeps you out of negative emotions, stuck places, and weighty thoughts that can make you sick or tired.  10 times a year we train our members in powerful success skills like this.  For 4-6 weeks, we practice each one using simple exercises.  This is a powerful program of inner change that allows you to become a better leader out in the world.  It empowers you to create outer change.

Master your life with 10 new masterful habits of the spiritually and materially successful.  Soar in 2011.  Join us here:  http://GIAwaken.com/benefits.

Register for this interview series right now, and listen to this introductory call with Daria Boissonnas, Founder of the Global Institute for Awakening.

Our spiritual journeys repeatedly require us to streeeeeeeeetch in to new areas, to try on new ideas, and to push ourselves through new experiences.  This is how we grow and expand into our greatest potential.  It’s how we bring our inner gifts into the world around us.

What do you do when you are nervous and uncertain, on the verge of one of those new stretches?  Do you push yourself through it?  Tough it up, close your eyes, and go? 

Today we are so used to taking ACTION and PUSHING to make things happen that we forget about the soft approach, where we can stop struggling and simply invite the greatest possible outcome in to our lives.

In my experience, the best advice is the simplest:  in any stressful or uncertain situation, just ask how you can be of service.

It is that simple.  Whereever you go, whatever is worrying you, this is the best advice for resolving the challenges and moving forward.  Whether you are speaking on stage at an event, teaching a big class, or seeing a new client, this works like a charm! 

I recently had the opportunity to “hear” this again and apply it myself.  I have been asked to speak at a new kind of event.  Being naturally shy, I panicked for a time about what I was going to do and bring and say.  Then my business coach (Sheri McConnell) casually said one day to focus on being of service.  Zing!  Like a flash of lightning, I knew she was right. 

Practice Stopping the Struggle

I talk all the time about how we often create artificial struggles in our lives by pushing instead of simply opening to receive.  The more I thought about how I could be of service there, the calmer and calmer I felt.  Then what I should bring started popping into my head, and I knew exactly what to do!  It was magical.  Asking “how can I best be of service?” eliminated my worries and connected me with the exact solution I needed. 

In our membership training call this month, I’ll delve into this inspiring topic more deeply (November 16th).  If you’d like to join us, sign up for a year’s membership here, and we’ll send you the details:  http://GIAwaken.com/benefits.  Otherwise, join us on your own in practicing “how can I be of service?” through the end of the year!

And remember to share your experiences with us — we love to hear from you, either at Support@GIAwaken.com, or by commenting on this post, below.

“Healing, enlightenment, and spiritual evolution are not about an escape to Nirvana.  Healing is about manifesting divinity in the world of matter, right here, right now.”

–Daria Boissonnas, Founder of the Global Institute for Awakening

You are always more powerful than you think you are.  Always. 

— Daria Boissonnas, Founder of the Global Institute for Awakening

Remind yourself of this regularly!  Your thinking mind will never fully understand the power of your higher self or your latent potential.  It will only be able to think of a few of the infinite solutions the universe always has available.  Your thinking mind is not as great or expansive as your full potential self. 

Therefore you are always more powerful than you think you are.  Once you understand this, you are able to seek that greater power and help more people live better lives, including yourself.

“The only way to fail at anything is to quit.”

          —Sheri McConnell, the Institute’s coach/mentor for 2010

Sheri has been empowering women for over 10 years. She is a powerful Wounded Healer and a highly realized business teacher/coach, especially if you are forming a group or association. Find her website here at: http://www.sherimcconnell.com  

In your first decade or two, you likely learned the "school" method of living your Life.  In school, you are trained and guided by authorities, teachers and adults, who tell you what to do and when, and what to learn, think and believe.  Then they judge and correct your behavior.  Chances are, you were also told what kind of cookie-cutter person you were, what you should like and how you should feel, whether you liked it or not.  And you got used to needing to meet the approval of others.

But that was then, when others seemed to run your life.  This is now. 

You may not be fully aware that you still feel like what schoolkids are seen as:  incapable, inexperienced, and unknowledgable.  I know in my 20s, I was still operating on what I'd learned in my childhood: that I couldn't do anything right.  You likely have been trained to doubt yourself, your inner yearnings, intuitions and knowings.  But that doesn't mean they aren't real.  Artificially doubting yourself doesn't mean you are wrong.

I've seen healer after healer shut down their inner healer, stop listening to their intuition ("oh that was just a random thought", "nobody can talk to trees"), convince themselves their knowings must be wrong and their dreams are unattainable or ridiculous.  Are you, too, trying to live someone else's life because "creative, intuitive healer" was not on the list of official jobs in the school counselor's office, or on the list of acceptable behaviors in elementary school?

How can you, starting today, honor your feelings, intuitions and dreams for what some part of you knows they are: very, very real?

Healer, you came here with gifts to share with the world, gifts that have the power to change the world.  I know because I've lived it and seen it in my mentoring clients, that it's too common for you to doubt yourself because you feel so "different".  Well, not here are HealerToHealer.com!  You're one of us, now, and we all have big healing dreams and amazing intuitive and creative talents. 

I for one would love to hear your dreams!  Put them in a comment below.  And from now on, how can you let yourself dream them?  How can you shift back into hoping and dreaming like you did as a kid?  Your dreams can't come true until you know what they are, and you owe it to the Source of those dreams to have a good long look, and to share them with others.  Leave the "how" to Source.  There *IS* always a way.  YOU just have to hold the possibilities here on earth.

I love you.  Go heal.
