Intermission! Choose Your Next Movie

"I've been waiting for my dreams

to turn into something

I could believe in

And looking for that magic rainbow

on the horizon

I couldn't see it

Until I gave in to love

and watched all the bitterness burn.

Now I'm coming alive

Body and Soul

and feeling my world start to turn..."

David Cook

I love movies! And I love beauty too so I jumped to see Avatar when it first came out. I was not disappointed. I've got a whole slew of other movies to see over the next few weeks. It's Complicated and Holmes are on my list. But this time of year there is another movie at the top of my viewing list. The "Next Movie of Your Life" is available for New Years viewing and I don't want any of us to miss this golden opportunity.
Please take seriously the following paragraphs. I'm going to walk you through a simple process that could change the quality of your life from this point forward. Whatever you are doing - take a few minutes right now to imagine you are entering "Your Inner Cinema" where the next script for your life is ready for choosing.

Are you ready to have a look? Start here: In "The Current Movie of Your Life!"

Imagine. You are at the Cinema - one of the big ones where at least a dozen films are showing in one building. You are watching a flick. The movie on the screen is the story of your current life. Notice the scene that is playing. You'll probably see events, people and circumstances that you enjoy and love. Likely you'll also see events, people and stuff that you would prefer to do without. You might also recognize that some scenes are replays. You've seen the events many times before and you know where the movie is headed. The picture might be getting old. Or you might have recently stepped into a new theatre and much of what you see on the screen is new and exciting for you.
Look around the theatre too.

Who is sitting beside you?

Who else is there?

What is the mood in the theatre?

What are your dominant feelings as you watch the show?

Now, take a breath.
Intermission!

Imagine. The Universe is calling a brief Intermission. It happens all the time and usually we fail to notice. You are at a point in the movie of your life where you can make a shift. You can make different choices. Or you can reaffirm the choices you are currently making and you can return to the same theater to fully engage your current life with conviction and energy.

The Central Hallway

Imagine the film freezes and everything becomes still. It's as if time has stopped and you have a window of time to reflect upon your choices. Please get up from your seat and walk out into the central hallway of the cinema.

Take a deep relaxing breath once again.

All is well.

Enjoy this pause.

Now look back at the theater you just left and move your gaze up to see the Title of the Current Movie of Your Life lit up on the marquee above the door.

What does it say?

What is the title of the current movie of your life.

Please write it down.

Be open to receive this information in any way it appears for you. If you are more auditory you might "hear" the title rather than see it. Others who are kinesthetic might "sense" or "feel" the movie's title in your body. The title might appear blurry or out of focus at first. Relax and give it some time. Or if you are not sure Make it Up - We do make up the movies of our lives. And we can change the titles too.

A Creators Choice
Imagine. What other films are playing at the cinema right now?

What film would you most like to see?

If you could create the next ideal movie for your life- (you can indeed do that- when you align with Your Higher Self and your design blueprint) -what would it be? Today you get to choose.

You can return to the current movie of your life or you can choose a brand new flick.

Which will it be?

The Next Movie of Your Life

If, today, you decide to enter a new theater take a moment to view/ allow/ create/ record the Title of the Next Movie of Your Life. Make it a great one. Create a title that sings in your heart, curls your toes, and lifts your "Spirit" - Yes- choose that one! Write it down now.

Thank You!

You might want to run toward your new flick. You might feel excited to see what is in front of you. But before you do - please bow or nod with thanks and appreciation to the theater you just left. Give thanks for the adventure of your life so far and when you are ready - step into the Next Movie of Your Life and enjoy the experience fully. Remember. If you don't like what is happening you can always return to the Central Hallway to choose again. We are Creators. Exercise those creative muscles and they grow stronger every day.

This is just a sneak preview for the coming attraction happening this Tuesday December 29th at the Write Your Life for 2010 Global Teleclass. You'll have an opportunity to connect with the Next Highest Design Blueprint for the Four Major Rooms of your Life- and with the blueprint you'll roll into alignment with the greatest health, wealth, work and love that you and your Higher Self are conjuring up for you in the year ahead.

Falling Apart to Come Together in a New Way

This week I've been listening to people talk. I've tuned in to conversations at the gym where I go for Zumba, the grocery store where I get my veggies and the coffee shop where I drink Earl Grey tea. Here's a bit of what I over heard - just in the last five days.
"This year has been the worst year of my life."

"Everything started falling apart and there was nothing I could do about it."

"I went through so many changes this year it feels like my head is not screwed on the same way. "

"I feel like I've been through a Tsunami."

These statements are not rare ones- at least not this year. I could write pages of examples but I don't think I need to. You are probably saying or hearing some variation of these statements too.

Everywhere people are discussing the Big Changes they are going through.
For a while I thought I knew one person unaffected by major changes this year. I took comfort in thinking that the balance she maintained in her life was possible for all of us. But even she came upon sudden unexpected challenges that moved her to actions she hadn't considered previously.

There is no going backwards.

Our whole species is growing and changing. Outdated systems are falling apart- visible in our outer world and apparent in our individual lives. This is not new news! Yes, we are being challenged to surrender what doesn't work anymore and that can be downright unsettling. This we know!

During times like these it behooves us to look for what is whole and healing amidst apparent turmoil.
Barbara Marx Hubbard calls this time of collective change Humanity Ascending. Not Descending -Ascending! Do we believe that? Will we trust the changes we are going through - RIGHT NOW - are indeed taking us to higher ground not down into the gutter as we, in our deeper fears, imagine.
I remember when the acronym for FEAR was "False Expectations Appearing Real." Neal Donald Walsh offers us a new acronym that invites us into greater responsibility FEAR - "Feeling Excited and Ready." Even and especially when it feels as though everything is falling apart we get choose our attitude and approach don't we?
I often feel my fears are a flip away from excitement. Sometimes I flip back and forth many times in one hour. And sometimes I just flip-flop around and can't seem to get settled anywhere. When life feels most unsettled I turn my attention toward nature for solace. You'll often hear me talk about having a "beach day."

In nature I see the cycle of creation at work. Flowers bud, bloom, decay, turn to seed and fertilize the soil for a next cycle of growth. The lotus pushes its way through mud, travels to the surface of water, rises into the air where finally it blossoms- and then decays again. I've kept roses in a vase long after they blossomed because I find the shedding of their petals beautiful.

Creation is not about making things stay the same.

Life will call our bluff if we attempt to keep our lives static. Especially now - when the speed of creation is moving so quickly.

We need to accept that sometimes things fall apart - so they can come together in a new- and BETTER way.

We don't need to know "HOW" changes will create better experiences for us. But we can do our part to LISTEN DEEPLY AND STAY CONNECTED.

Right now as we complete a year of big changes we have the opportunity to release what isn't working for us. And as we lean into our New Year we can bring along our trust that life is good and wise. The very best is ahead of us.

Let go. Good and More Good is Coming!
