Last week I had a new experience -- a Reiki session!  Reiki is a Japanese technique based on the "life force energy" that flows through us and greatly affects our health and happiness.  It was incredibly relaxing, and I left feeling renewed and insightful.  My jaw and teeth, which I've had issues wth for the past several years, totally relaxed that day, and continue to be relaxed and pain-free today, one week later.

Many of my mentors and teachers, who are happy, successful, and inspiring, share stories of their openness to new experiences, and I'm proud to say that I've joined them in this over the last several years.  I'm living an incredible life, doing meaningful work that I love, and creating balance I didn't always have in the past.  Is it mere coincidence that since I've become more open to new ways of thinking and being I'm also happier than I've ever been?  I think not!

How open are you to "new" beliefs and strategies?  How do you react when you hear someone talk about an experience or concept that is new to you, or that you grew up learning was "weird," or "unrealistic?"   What have you opened yourself up to lately that is new for you?

It was my openness to abundant possibilities that allowed me to create a career helping others create lives they love.  Because of that openness I am now helping incredible people create happiness, health, peace and prosperity in their lives.  And I know that those people go on to inspire others with their new way of being.

How open are you to living your ideal life?

Your Two-Week Action Plan

1. Catch yourself thinking that something is "unrealistic" for you this week.  And when you do, ask yourself this questions  "What might change for me if I was more open to this possibility?"
2. Re-visit your 2009 Intentions.  Choose one that you've already successfully completed.  "What were you open to in order to manifest that intention?"
3. Now choose one that you haven't yet manifested.  "What do you need to be open to in order to be successful with that intention?"
