Greetings.how is your August going? I'm having a wonderful working vacation on the East Coast. Mercifully the extreme heat broke and it's been the best of summer weather here.
And, I'm looking forward, as usual, to the adventure that is the 5 day Joyful Manifesting Intensive. On the new moon, Tuesday August 10th,I will begin the first session-to clear the obstacles to whatever you are wanting to manifest. It is 5 sessions, 5 days in a row--a lot of repatterning, for less than the price of a single private session.
If you would like to be part of this, or just learn more, please visit the site at http://www.joyfulmanifesting.com
Already signed up? Here is how to prepare for it. If you've done it before it's the same instructions as usual.
Take a few minutes to sit quietly, relax and tune in. Then decide what your two goals or intentions are for this Intensive. What area of your life feels most in need of change or positive momentum? Is it your income, your relationships or the lack of intimacy, is it health, is it clarity on a business or other life decision? And what quality or personal strength do you need most at this time?
Write them down for yourself. You are welcome to email them to me, but that is entirely optional, to ProsperityCoachLN@gmail.com.
1. A tangible goal: something you would recognize when it arrives. Be specific, not just "more prosperity" but something like "another 6 clients a month" "another $1000 of regular income a month", etc.
2. An intangible goal or quality: examples--peace of mind, relaxation, trust, etc.
And then stay tuned for your session notes!
Many blessings,
Ellen

Say Yes to Life!
We had a sweet but powerful call tonight. The topic: Staying Centered in Turbulent Times. There was a brief meditation, including the Abundance Decree by Maureen Moss, followed by a Committment Repatterning.
This repatterning looks at what our percentage of committment is to a particular goal or intention. Our overall intention for this session was to "Say Yes to Life". As the session began, we were only resonating between 10 and 15% committed to "Saying Yes to Life". That means that 85 to 90% of our behavior, emotional energy and subconscious programming was saying no (or at least not saying yes) to life. Talk about driving with the brakes on!
After the session, the group is now resonating with 100% committment to saying yes to life.
That's nice, you say, but you missed the call? No worries, mate. You may actually listen to the recording of the session and receive the benefit that way. I set that intention when I began the session, that it will repattern not just the people present on the call, but anyone who listens to it later. How cool is that? We call that in the world of repatterning: retro-intending. Because time is not linear, this actually works!
So here's the link. The recording is about an hour. To get the most out of it, I recommend listening to it in one sitting, uninterrupted. Treat this like an actual healing session--because it is. You wouldn't go to a coach, healer or therapist and multi-task. And it will be much more powerful that way. In fact, people have had powerful reactions to listening to the recording so don't think this is just food for the mind. It's the real deal. Enjoy!

Today: A Day out of Time
Tonight I learned something interesting at the birthday party of the lovely Jan Stringer, whose latest book is "Bee-ing Attraction"-she's a great business coach and new member of the amazing Santa Fe tribe I'm part of here. She shared that today in the Mayan Calender is considered a Day out of Time, the last day of the year.
I woke up to soft rain falling--a rare thing here in Northern New Mexico and everything was so still. All I could do was my lemon water and then I fell into my armchair for a long delicious meditation.
Had a visit from a friend and we sat out in the moist cool air, enjoying the green of my growing garden..our conversation touched on many things and it truly felt timeless. Our lunch visit stretched to 4 pm and while I certainly have plenty to do--today was not the day for doing it. NO busyness of the world for me today.
It's not just that it's a summer Sunday--in fact my mood and energy on any summer Sunday this year is nothing like the social, relaxed and laid-back pattern of Sundays in other summers--but today is/was a day out of time. That explains a lot!
Also, if you've ever felt, like I have, that our Gregorian calendar seems irregular and not in synch with anything--when you read about the Mayan calendar--and other calendars based on moon, star and solar cycles--we were right.
Read this very interesting excerpt about the meaning of the Day out of Time in the Mayan calendar when you have a little time.
Mayan Day out of Time
Sunday, July 25, is an important day in the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar is built around a 13-month cycle, each month has exactly 28 days which totals to 364 days. The last day of the year is left out of this count and therefore is "out of time". This day is considered an opportunity for a big change: purification and healing, for forgiveness of debts and old grievances, a time for achieving peace, a great time to clarify our understanding, focus on direction and create a major shift in our lives. Especially after the Conscious Convergence on July 17th and 18th time is accelerating as we move with the new wave of energy that we created with our focused and collective intention during these two days.
I live my life by a truth that was gifted to me as a child when I was visited by a beautiful woman dressed in white who appeared one day when I was 10 accompanied by a white wolf. She spoke to me that I was not alone and in the years that would follow I would come to understand why I had been brought here as a faith keeper. That white wolf remained by my side as my animal ally and spirit teacher to guide me and to walk with me on a Shamanic path of peace and truth. There is an every increasing awareness of the Mayan calendar and the significance of 2012. Everywhere I go I hear discussions and am asked questions regarding the significance of this date.
It is my truth that I simply share, having a strong belief that each day more and more souls are awakening and a huge shift in consciousness is occurring. What happened during the time of the Conscious Convergence in the ancient stones of the Star Walkers and Navigators was felt around the world as we are all joined together. 2012 I believe will continue to accelerate the awakening and we will in deed move into a higher vibrational frequency that will support the focused dream of oneness and unity. It is not an instantaneous event where one switch will turn off and another turn on nor is it the ending of the world. I choose to look at everything around me as a message, sometimes strong messages of warning but more now than ever messages of hope that we as global citizens can make a difference.
The current calendar the world now operates under known as the Gregorian calendar was imposed as an instrument of power and as a symbol of dominance by European conquerors over the Maya, Inca and Aztec civilizations—all of whom used, among other calendars, the 13 Moon/28 Day count. This 13 moon calendar was used by other ancient civilizations such as the Druids, the Essenes and the ancient Egyptians. It had also been identified as the Calendar of Thoth. If you have felt more stress and that you have less time it is because your vibrational field is realigning itself to truth and to the natural cycle and order that our earth vibrates at. Not the time manipulated system created by mankind to control other civilizations and nature itself.
On this very special day take the time to sit once again in stillness. If you can be near earth, dirt, or sand at the beach take a handful and slowly let the grains of sand or particles of dirt slip through your lightly held hands. If you live in the city you can even use corn meal for this ritual. This is so very symbolic of so many things ocurring in our lives right now. Each particle of earth and sand represents something you are letting go of. An old hurt or wound, a disappointment, an anger, a grievance or judgment. It can be an entire way of life as many of us are feeling our world is completely changing in some way. Focus on your breath and as you release the particles back to the earth feel your vibration being elevated. On a piece of paper write down the debts you are forgiving (old loves, old relationships, expectations not fulfilled). Forgive yourself of any guilts you continue to hold on to. Let go of feeling unworthy. This serves absolutely no purpose for you to be less than who you were intended to be. It is time to claim who you are and step forward. Fold the paper in half away from you and burn the paper symbolizing transformation. Remember we are still in the energy of 2010, the Year of the Phoenix Rising from the ashes. Bury the ashes in the earth giving gratitude to the earth mother and make your commitment to walk the earth in balance. This is also a Full Moon and full moons always represent completion, end of cycles, coming into our full power so this can be an especially powerful night to do the Uncrossing Ritual for those of you who have my 2010 Moon cycle and Ritual book.
The more you take the time to do the inner journey, to sit and be still to receive guidance from the greatest teacher you have (yourself) the more you will find your emotions stabalizing. Many of you have felt depressed, angry, frustrated and restless. Some have felt physically fatigued and emotionally drained. There is a continuous movement of energy now to raise your vibration. Opportunities such as these special celebrations of life can assist. These emotions will hold you in a lower vibration and you will not be able to truly move forward until you clear them. There are waves of energy coming rapidly now and we need to move through these times with determination and hope. We will all have moments of doubt and old fears will return only to be embraced and transformed if we allow the process to occur.
As always take a few moments to see your light moving through a web connecting with millions of souls around our planet. Feel yourself being part of a great awakening and feel how your light is so very important to the whole. We can not move forward if we do not move together. When you are complete with your personal ritual do something to bring beauty into the world. Go see a movie that inspires you, listen to beautiful music that soothes you, paint or create something beautiful, buy yourself some beautiful flowers or go into a garden and observe the amazing beauty that surrounds you.
Most important smile, feel alive and share your light with others. I continue to create the prayer circles so if there is anyone in need, or yourself, please send me the name of the person or persons and I will include them in the prayers of healing.
Much love, rainbows and joy on this magnificent day out of time.

An interview with Yours Truly
I am happy to share this recording of Meira Findel, the Holistic Accountant, interviewing me. We decided to do this right now to
promote my Prosperity Party - my East Coast "tour" coming right
up in August(I AM a rock star,I am! I even have a photo of me in cool dark shades playing guitar, albeit air guitar, to prove it. And like any rock star, I go on tour!)
Meira's been a colleague, friend and fan for years but her major turnaround after a recent session with me is what led her to offer to assist me and promote me to her amazing network. I am so grateful!
The interview gives you more background and explanation of repatterning--and how I came to be doing this work. There's an emphasis on the work I do with clients around money and prosperity.
Here is the interview, it's about 45 minutes long.

Come together, right now!
Yes, that's the title of a Beatle song..but these are the lyrics my inner radio station KLNS (formerly WLNS radio)is playing right now--remember this one? from the Youngbloods:
"Love is but a song we sing,
Fear is the way we die,
You can make the mountains ring,
Or make the angels cry,
Come on people now,
Smile on your brother,
Everybody get together,
try to love one another right now"
So many people are in fear, feeling separate, feeling alone, feeling backed to the wall by finances, or by the pressure of all their inner issues coming up. I do hear you--and I can relate too.
Someone wrote me this morning about being a really tight financial squeeze. She and her family have just enough money to eat until next payday. She doesn't even have enough money to call in for my free teleclasses. Another client wrote me about feeling tapped out and completely unsupported, having lost faith in people.
Like them, I've experienced a financial squeeze lately, and feeling like I'm alone on the planet--even though I know it's not really true and that I have many choices, options and solutions. When I go to that place, I only see from fear and contraction. But I cannot afford to stay there for long, I just simply can't. And neither can you.
We MUST manage our internal state and our inner dialogue. It is no longer an option if we are to continue here. It is only from that space that I can help myself or help others. And I believe this is part of the purpose of all this change and turbulence--for us to take charge, fully and completely, of mastering our own minds and inner state. Otherwise we will be rocked too far.
I repeat--the key is keeping our state stable, being able to witness with compassion what we or others are going through, and allow our feelings in a safe container. Allowing our feelings, yet also keeping a perspective that this is all temporary, and that from wherever we are, a shift is possible.
It's all in your state of mind and being. Can you find compassion and kindness in your heart?
And what helps? There are the practices that we do or can learn--meditation, prayer, journaling, reading inspirational books or listening to uplifitng talks or music. Walking in nature, dancing, doing yoga, doing EFT, Sedona method, reiki--whatever you know to do to keep letting go and coming back to center. For someone it might be cooking, or working with clay. Nothing is better or worse--just look at what works for you and do it!
These are not a luxury any more--they are vital to our sanity and being able to function and be of service to our families and the world.
The key right now is coming together for like minded support. We're in the Aquarian age which is all about group consciousness, not relying on authority, like government, corporations or any kind of "boss". So, we are the ones we've been waiting for (Hopi prophecy).
Find like minded others-whether it's another mom on the park bench, a repatterning teleclass with me, a yoga class, get your friends together. We cannot do it alone anymore, and we aren't meant to.
Whenever I get lost, what helps me most is connecting to others--hearing a friend's voice, going over to Santa Fe Soul, the health and healing center I work at, and chatting with other practitioners.
The other key is gratitude, and asking "what one little thing can I do for myself (or another) right now?" Sometimes the smallest actions have the most power to change our state.
Here's a beautiful example a client shared with me, illustrating the value of group support and of gratitude:
"I was beginning to feel hopeless, wondering what the point of everything was. A group of my colleagues [yoga teachers] began to gather around me in support for new motherhood and pitched in for me to get some self-care. Then from a discussion with about 6 yoga teachers online, they all started telling me these things that I had done for them, which were just things that I do.
Like one of them... her mom had breast cancer and no insurance. Our local studio had a benefit for her and her mom to help pay for the chemo and people were donating through paypal for some complimentary therapies.
I used to teach with her on Saturday mornings and I would press five/ten dollars into her hand every week. I had wanted to donate money to some cause anyway and wanted to see it go to someone I knew. Another one thanked me for helping her to find a cranio-sacral therapist for her son and he didn't have to have tubes put in his ears.
I was beginning to think that people were just self-absorbed and didn't really care or maybe couldn't care beyond what they had going on with their lives.... and they started reminding me that the little things I do make a big difference.
Every time I start to despair over the last couple weeks (and I have been really down for awhile- this birth tapped everything I had), something happens to give me back that glimmer of hope."
So, start a gratitude club. Call people you know and express gratitude for things they have done for you. Express gratitude to yourself for all that you do for you, for your children, family, clients, or others. Trade appreciations with someone else. Start a gratitude diary for all that you appreciate. If you're in a tough place, appreciating your breath, that you have a roof over your head, your next glass of water--start there.
Whatever we focus on expands. Focus on gratitude, the support and love of friends, family, colleagues and community, the support of the earth in providing food and water. Focus on keeping your mind clear and positive, or neutral and a detached, witnessing the ups and downs of life.
Whatever works--just do it! And come back here to read and replenish, come back to find recordings of free sessions, and guidance for these times we are ALL going through. You are not alone.
Rest in your Heart's Abode.
Om shanti, shalom, Ellen

Find like minded others-whether it's another mom on the park bench, a repatterning teleclass with me, a yoga class, get your friends together. We cannot do it alone anymore, and we aren't meant to.
Whenever I get lost, what helps me most is connecting to others--hearing a friend's voice, going over to Santa Fe Soul, the health and healing center I work at, and chatting with other practitioners.
The other key is gratitude, and asking "what one little thing can I do for myself (or another) right now?" Sometimes the smallest actions have the most power to change our state.
Here's a beautiful example a client shared with me, illustrating the value of group support and of gratitude:
"I was beginning to feel hopeless, wondering what the point of everything was. A group of my colleagues [yoga teachers] began to gather around me in support for new motherhood and pitched in for me to get some self-care. Then from a discussion with about 6 yoga teachers online, they all started telling me these things that I had done for them, which were just things that I do.
Like one of them... her mom had breast cancer and no insurance. Our local studio had a benefit for her and her mom to help pay for the chemo and people were donating through paypal for some complimentary therapies.
I used to teach with her on Saturday mornings and I would press five/ten dollars into her hand every week. I had wanted to donate money to some cause anyway and wanted to see it go to someone I knew. Another one thanked me for helping her to find a cranio-sacral therapist for her son and he didn't have to have tubes put in his ears.
I was beginning to think that people were just self-absorbed and didn't really care or maybe couldn't care beyond what they had going on with their lives.... and they started reminding me that the little things I do make a big difference.
Every time I start to despair over the last couple weeks (and I have been really down for awhile- this birth tapped everything I had), something happens to give me back that glimmer of hope."
So, start a gratitude club. Call people you know and express gratitude for things they have done for you. Express gratitude to yourself for all that you do for you, for your children, family, clients, or others. Trade appreciations with someone else. Start a gratitude diary for all that you appreciate. If you're in a tough place, appreciating your breath, that you have a roof over your head, your next glass of water--start there.
Whatever we focus on expands. Focus on gratitude, the support and love of friends, family, colleagues and community, the support of the earth in providing food and water. Focus on keeping your mind clear and positive, or neutral and a detached, witnessing the ups and downs of life.
Whatever works--just do it! And come back here to read and replenish, come back to find recordings of free sessions, and guidance for these times we are ALL going through. You are not alone.
Rest in your Heart's Abode.

Questions to Consider in Preparing for Monday's Manifesting teleclass
To unblock your manifesting magic, here are some good questions to consider and write your answers to. This is useful, whether you will join me for Monday's teleclass or not.
The purpose of the session is to identify anything that is currently blocking your manifesting what you want—a belief, a perception of lack in your life, feelings of being undeserving, fear of having what you want. To prepare for the session, please read this post and spend some time answering the questions.
If you don't want to miss out, don't forget to register by midnight, Sunday night, July 11th. (I won't be checking registration till Monday morning around 10 Mountain time,but I can't guarantee your participation unless I hear from you by the deadline. Thanks for understanding.)

Questions for Manifesting teleclass on July 12 2-3pm Eastern
Overall intention of session: To identify anything that is currently blocking your manifesting what you want. That might be a belief, a perception of lack in your life, feelings of being undeserving, fear of having what you want. To prepare for the session, please read this post and spend some time answering the questions.
If there are things you want to manifest, or you are wanting and needing a miracle of more abundance in your life—what are you waiting for?

1. If you aren’t clear on at least three things you want to manifest in your life, whether that’s a state of mind like peace or self-confidence, or particular outcomes or objects—like a certain number of new clients, observable momentum in your business, a certain amount of money—take some time over the next 48 hours—we are in range of the new moon energy of July 11th already—to meditate, ask for guidance and clarity about what those three things might be.
Like me, you may have a lot that you are choosing to manifest—much more than 3 items on your list. That’s great—it’s good to ask! But for purposes of this call, and focusing more specifically, we will look at those three things. One item on the list should be the quality or way of being that having the other 2 items will give you. For example, if you are wanting to generate 1 new project or 3 new clients in your work, and an additional $1000 in the next week—what quality would that give you? Would it make you feel more peaceful, have more faith and truth, or help you feel more connected to Source?
Write down your three items.
2.Limiting beliefs or negative thoughts—as you did the above exercise, did any limiting beliefs come up, such as “I can’t have what I want.” Write those down too. Did any thoughts come up about the economy, or other things you heard growing up, about money or success or having good things?
3. Metal Element Focus: In this session we will have an added focus on the metal element, which in Chinese medicine consists of two meridians, or energy pathways. One is Lung (breathing in, taking in what is inspiring) and the other is Large Intestine (letting go, what is toxic, worn out or no longer needed).
a)What do you need to let go of that you are holding onto?
b)What do you need to take in, receive or open the space for in your life?
Happy manifesting,
Ellen
