Dear
Friends,
It's
June! I hope this month brings you summertime fun. Although
I am taking most of June as vacation time, I wanted to share with
you what's happening within my practice. The biggest change
is a shift from the majority of my practice filled with individual
coaching sessions to intuitive readings. I will still offer
coaching services, but on a very limited basis to those clients
wanting mentoring in the intuitive arts or on relationship issues.
Also, new at the website is a reference and resource page, for those
of you who are looking for good books to read on creativity, relationships,
spirituality, shamanism, and creative manifestation.
Enjoy!
Love
– Elaine
Surrendering
Control and Commitment to Self
My clients from my creative
manifestation classes most frequenty ask me, "How do I know
I'm surrendering control?" When I struggle with this
question I ask myself another that
seems unrelated, but for me is really the same question. And that
is, “How willing am I to be myself no matter what?” and, “Am I willing
to be myself if it means I never get my heart's desire?” When I
am committed to being myself I live from a soulful place that is
naturally uncontrolling and faithful. It's the only place of real
security, and the only place of true power. I become unwilling to
compromise myself or pretend that I am different than who I truly
am. I take my power back from others and leave them free to respond
in any way they need. When we are willing to be ourselves, we immediately
become attractive to what exactly matches us, and lo and behold,
we usually get what we want.

The
Ideal Mate Relationship Mirror
Many
of my clients expect that when they attract their ideal mate, they
will also have a smooth time in relationship, because the mate is
their Ideal. But, what I see happen more often is that once
the initial bliss has passed, the couple jump (usually unconsciously)
straight into deep healing work, called by most relationship experts
the power struggle phase of relationship. And, unfortunately
many of us can become stuck here. What's
going on, and how do we stay conscious during this fragile time
in the relationship? First, it's important to realize that
when we intentionally create a conscious relationship, which all
my workshop participants do, we are inviting all things unconscious
and destructive to arise into consciousness so we can make them
constructive. And, anything that prevents us from having a
good relationship at all will surface first.

Surrendering
Control : Life Comes as It Comes
Most
of us who have worked with creative manifestation principles are
familiar with the admonition to Surrender Control. We've been
taught that this is a necessary last step in order to create what
we want, and yet this is the hardest step in the creation process
for my clients. We have a much easier time with the
beginning steps of focus, imagining, removing blocks, and taking
inspired actions. Is there a secret to surrendering control?
First,
remember that all of us have a controlling nature. It's part
of being human and has been essential for the survival of the species.
We are either trying to get what we want, or we are trying to protect
ourselves from outcomes we don't like. Surrendering control
feels frightening because we no longer take action to get what we
want. It can feel like we're leaving our fate to fate. In
fact, we are going against our natural instincts, so it is completely
normal to have trouble with the surrender aspect of manifestation.
