One minute. I’m just holding the vision and it’s all good. Next thing I know, I’ve got 10 days to get on a plane, to go halfway around the world and start a new life. This is the missing step in manifestation. Would you love to manifest more powerfully, more easily, manifesting all the beautiful things that you want in your.
I’m Michael McIntosh, and in this session we’re gonna talk about something that a lot of people really do not think about. And when I first started practicing these things myself, I didn’t do this thing I’m about to share with you, and that’s why. I was frustrated and nothing happened. Once I started practicing this one thing, then I started attracting wealth and success, and I moved from England to Hawaii and was living in a beautiful tropical island, created millions of dollars and all sorts of magical things have happened, but they wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t done this one thing.
It is done. So a quick recap in the manifestation journey. We need to know what we want, but it’s true and pure in our heart. We need to feel that we’ve truly attained everything We need to really go for it. Really go for it, and not just dabble in this, but go deep and feel it fully with sincerity every day.
And this step is that as you are feeling that you’ve attained everything, what will happen inevitably is that your subconscious mind will deliver to you, to your conscious mind
ideas. You’re gonna get ideas in your mind all of a sudden. From out nowhere. You’re saying, I should do this, I should do that. What about this? I should see this person. Or you might notice some strange numbers. They see these numbers again and again, where you might pick up a piece of paper or newspaper or go on the internet or look at a sign somewhere and go, Whoa, I’ve gotta do that.
Or someone calls you up and they say, You’ve gotta take, do this thing. Something’s gonna happen. Sooner or later, guaranteed, something’s gonna come to your attention about what you can do to move in that direction in a practical way.
And what a lot of people do is they just say, I’m just gonna sit here and I’m just gonna feel that I’ve attained everything and not worry about. Doing anything
but these ideas, these signs are coming for a reason, and when they do, we need to pay attention that this is a sign. This isn’t just random thing, this is here for a reason, and then we need to take action. We need to actually do the think. There are these moments of action, these tiny little magic moments where you have an opportu.
And if you don’t jump on it right then and there, then off time it just disappears. For example, I was in England, I think it was 2007, and I was feeling terrible. I had a major breakdown in my life, and I’m not gonna get into the details, but I was feeling awful. Finally, I discovered to stop messing around with this law of attraction stuff and do it properly, so I really went for.
And was feeling that I’ve attained everything every day, and I had this vision board of being in this tropical place somewhere, doing meaningful work, doing what I love, having wealth and freedom and being with beautiful people. It is done. It is done. It is done. And I did that every day. And I started feeling really good in my heart.
Felt this hope and this joy in my being. And then one. My friend out of the blue sent me an email saying, Would you like to come to Hawaii? I’ll pay for your ticket. And I couldn’t believe it. This is out of the blue. I didn’t expect anything I could have said, Oh, isn’t that wonderful? It’s just, But I took action.
I replied to the email and I said, Yes, of course, next day I got another email back with a ticket that he’d bought for me leaving to. In 10 days from that date, right? So one minute I’m just holding the vision and it’s all good. Next thing I know, I’ve got 10 days to get on a plane, to go halfway around the world, and start a new life.
So I had to say yes. I had to pack my bags, I had to get everything in order, get on the bus, go down to the airport and get on the plane. If I hadn’t have done that, then I’d still be in England now instead, because I took action, I was actually living the experience in a real way.
There are these little things. Sometimes it’s not as extreme as that. Sometimes it’s just send an email, talk to so and buy a course. There’s all sorts of things, but when those things come to your mind, make sure you do something about it. Take the action. It’s simple thing. It’s just taking that next step.
Once you’ve taken their next step, then there’ll be a next step and a next step and a next step. If you keep doing it, your ideas was to keep coming, the inspirations will keep coming. People will keep coming to give you advice. And before you know it, you will be living inside of your dream in a practical way.
So what is life telling you? What are the signs in life? Listen carefully. Life is trying to help.
So have fun. Thank you for your beautiful presence. Wishing you all success in manifesting your purest and highest and most divine desires that are gonna bring you so much joy. May all good things come to you.
I look forward to connecting with you in the next session where we’re gonna go even deeper into some of these things that many people ignore. And that’s why it doesn’t work for them. But once then everything gets easier, faster, and so much more magical. . Talk to you soon and lots of love
it.
Is Perfectionism Holding You Back From Sharing Your Work?
Not perfect? No problem!
You don't have to be perfect to help othersDo you ever hold yourself back because you don’t feel you are perfect.
The good news is you don’t have to be perfect to help somebody else. All you need to be is a few steps ahead of the people you are helping.

You don’t have to be perfect to help somebody else. All you need to be is a few steps ahead of the people you are helping.
Do you ever hold yourself back because you don’t feel you are perfect. You’re not quite ready. You maybe you want to do videos or you want to get your workout, but you are like, yeah, I’m not sure it’s not the right time. I don’t look quite right. Am I ready? Am I good enough? Have I achieved the level that I want to achieve?
There’s all these things that can come up in our mind and hold us back. And sometimes it can hold us back for years and years. My name’s Michael McIntosh and I’m the co-founder of awaken academy where we help people become spiritual life. Coaches, authors, teachers, course creators have an online business.
And this is extremely common problem. Not feeling good enough or perfect enough already enough to actually get things out there. Right now I’m doing this video. I’m actually a little bit tired. I have a slight headache and I’m purposely doing this video in the state There’s all sorts of reasons why this is not a perfect video.
And are any of the videos perfect. That’s a good question, but the thing is, what I’ve learned over the years is that if we wait around to have every single thing lined up perfectly, if everything has to be just set up exactly right. In every situation, feel a certain way, have our hair is a certain way, have the situation a certain way, the camera’s a certain way. If we do this, we may literally never finish anything.
So many of our students have told us that they have courses near nearly finished, but they haven’t published them or they’re wanting to do coaching, but they feel they’re not quite good enough yet. This is a major problem.
What are we gonna do about it? That’s the big question. What can you do about it? The key thing to remember, this is so important. is to realize that you don’t have to be perfect to help somebody else. All you need to be is a few steps ahead. of the people you are helping. Let me say that again. You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to have attained everything in your life to help somebody else. You just need to be a few steps ahead. You need to be a little bit more experienced. You need to have developed something or learn something that the people you’re helping don’t know, or they’re not quite there yet. So for example, let’s.
About how to relax, how to let go. You might not be perfect at it, but somebody else is in a constant state of stress and they’re freaked out. And they’re like really out of control and really anxious. And you can help them go from super stressed and anxious to less anxious and stressed and more and more relaxed.
And they will be extremely grateful for you to help them do that. They’re not gonna say you are not perfect. They’re gonna say thank you so much. that you help me relax a little bit more. And this applies to just about anything you can think of doing. So next time you are having these thoughts.
I’m not perfect. It’s not ready realize that chances are, it’s never gonna be perfect. Many people have done their work in the absolutely most imperfect situation. A lot of artists have had to figure out how to do their work and not a perfect environment. Many musicians do their music in their bedroom.
Many authors have had to write on, on the plane or on, on a bus or surrounded by other people. So chances are, there’s never gonna be a perfect time or a perfect situation for you, but at the same time, people need help. We are here as spiritual people to help others. We’re part of the great awakening that’s happening on our planet.
And you can do a video or share something or post something. And it might touch one person’s heart. It might make a difference to one soul. And then another soul we’ve been in a situation where someone wanted to join one of our courses and she never joined. And one of our team reached out to see if this person was alright and it turned out, her husband answered the phone and said she’d committed suicide.
And that really hit our hearts because if she. Come to us sooner. And if we’d been able to help her faster, chances are she’d still be alive. And she would actually be able to be sharing her work and helping others and really healing the things in herself. So you literally might be saving someone’s life by actually going out there and doing your great work.
So please go ahead. Don’t hold back. I know I’ve held myself back many times. I’ve had to learn this lesson and hopefully this video inspires you to share your beautiful message and your beautiful light in the world. I want to thank you so much for your beautiful presence. I believe in you. We believe in you and we are here to support you in shining your light in this world that needs.
If you like this video and would like to get more of these things and just subscribe like the video and share it with someone else who maybe is procrastinating holding themselves back. Thank you so much for your presence. I’ll talk to soon.

Would you love to have more clients so that you can make greater impact and have more money. And you’re maybe wondering, what am I doing wrong? And what can I change in this video? I’m gonna share with you the number one mistake. Most people make starting out. That’s blocks them from getting clients.
You’re gonna learn the most important thing you can start doing right now to increase your clients and the magic word that will improve your sales and people saying yes. My name’s Michael McIntosh and I’m the co-founder of awaken academy. And I’ve spent the last 15 years helping people to create the sort of lives and the success they want in their business.
And when I was starting out right at the beginning, I moved from England to Hawaii. I had $800 to my name and a backpack, and I had to figure out how am I gonna be able to stay here and make it work? I needed to figure out a way of making. What I did is I invested all the money I had into an online training business training about how do you make money online?
And I’m extremely grateful that I did that because I’ve learned something in that course that has completely changed my life. And I’m gonna share it with you since then, we’ve gone on to make millions of dollars and helped our students create the lives that they want. The biggest mistake that most of us make starting out is only thinking about ourselves and where we are coming from and not thinking.
What the people we are serving actually want. You might have wonderful ideas. I’m sure you do. You’ve got great ideas. You’ve got wonderful things you can do to help people. And that’s great, but the number one problem is only thinking from our point of view and not keeping in mind what other people want and what they’re gonna buy.
For example, There’s a true story of a guy who had this wonderful idea, what he thought was a wonderful idea to invent a remote control lawn mower, he thought, wouldn’t it be wonderful. You can just sit in your house and use a remote control and mow the lawn. So he spent two years and most of his savings.
Messing around in the garage, inventing this remote control lawn mower. Finally, after two years, he’d produced a bunch of them and was ready to sell them. So he put his remote control lawn mower up for sale. And guess what happened?
Nobody wanted one. Nobody wanted one because you don’t need a remote control lawn moer. So he wasted two years of his life. He would’ve been much better off figuring out if people wanted that before he spent those two years. Imagine I invented a remote control, bud. They could go around the room.
Oh no. Is it gonna be something that most people want? Yep. It goes like this. Imagine you are really thirsty. And all you actually want is some water. And I’ve prepared for you this 15 course meal with all these special fancy things. And it’s all really well done and it’s taken me 10 hours to produce it.
And I say, there you go. There’s this wonderful meal. You’ll say, just, can I have some water? That’s all I want right now. This is what we are often doing. We’re putting all this work into this. It’s taking so much time and energy and the other person just wants this simple thing. Please help me with this.
And we are not giving them that. So this is the biggest mistake. And if you could stop making that mistake, your success is just gonna go through the roof. It completely changes the trajectory of your whole life and your career and your success.
If you look into any successful people in the world, they have figured out how to give people. what they want. Ask your audience by sending out a survey or talking to them personally, ask them, what are your biggest challenges right now? What’s keeping you up at night. What do you really want?
Why is that important to you and really understand what they want and what they need. For example, I’m about to launch a new program, to help our coaches, to refine their offers, what they’re offering and to get more clients. And we send out a survey asking them, what are they done so far? What do they want, what do they need?
Why is it important? These sort of questions? And based on that we are designing the program to help them specifically with what they need. I didn’t start this saying, here are the 10 things that I wanted to share with you. I’m starting this with, what do you want? What do you need what’s on your mind and then designing everything around there.
One of the great things about doing surveys is that you can literally ask people what they want and then use their words. Because then it is exactly what they want. So I’m gonna show you exactly what I’m talking about. So you can email your mailing list or you can talk to people and get them to fill this in and you just asked them questions.
So for the questions we’ve asked in this little group, is what’s your vision for your business? What do you want to create? Why is that important to you? What have you done so far to move forward in your business? What are your biggest questions? What are your, what’s your greatest challenge? And what would you like to get out of the group?
Then I just go through the answers and see what people will say. So what’s your biggest question about marketing and sales? I wanna promote myself, but in a soft and welcoming way, I don’t wanna be pushy. I wanna know the most effective mark methods to stand out in a saturated world of coaches, healers and change makers.
How do I start attracting clients and keep them coming and growing? All right, so I’ve gone through the whole thing. You can do this yourself. And what you do is you take the words that people say, for example, propo, proposing, or making an offer. So I’m just gonna copy that and I’m gonna put it in here and this becomes the curriculum, how you can propose or make.
And offer, right? So all I’m doing is using what they want and making that the basis of the curriculum. So I’ve gone through the whole thing and what I’ve got here. This is all things that people have said. They said, I want to learn these things. So this is the curriculum I want effective methods to stand out in a saturated world of coaches, how you can make an offer.
People, pay you for how to start attracting clients and how to keep them coming in and grow. How to make people believe in what you offer them clarification on exactly what you can do to make people see that you’re gonna help them guidance of what you’re doing wrong and what you want to do. So when people see this, they read this, they’ll say, oh my God, this is exactly what I want because instead of just making it up, I am focused specifically on helping people get the things that they.
Want, so this is such an easy way and a compassionate way and an effective way to produce offers that people will pay you for. So this is the big shift. A lot of people, they focus on trying to make themselves so important. I’m so great. Look at me, look how cool I am.
That, that’s not what people want. People want someone who says you are great. I appreciate you. You have great work to do, and I want to support. In getting your work out to the world and I wanna make it as easy as possible for you, right? I’m here for service. When we come from that place that we are here to help somebody else sincerely, then people wanna work with you.
So if you can just make that shift, instead of thinking about what you have and what you want to do and how great you are and why you’ve got the best method in the world. Don’t worry about that. Just focus on who is this wonderful soul who you’re helping, what do they want? What do they need? and dedicate all of your energy to supporting them in getting what they want and the magic word, the number one magic word is going from I to you, right?
The people who say I me. That doesn’t work. You wanna say you, you are important. You have great work to do. This is gonna support you in your life and your work. This is gonna help you get more clients. This is gonna help you achieve the financial goals you have, so you can travel so you can have the freedom you want, so you can have a spiritual life.
So you can have all the things that you want and live your D and live your life on purpose. So you’re Chan you’re going from I to you. The more you use the word you in your copy and in your conversations and in your videos or whatever you do. And you’re talking to that wonderful soul, make them the star of the show, but yourself, over here, you’re in a humble service position.
I am here to serve, right? We wanna say I’m here to serve. Tell me what you need. Tell me what you want. I’m here to help. The more you think about this and the more you have that approach, everything becomes super easy.
So if you’re not getting the clients and the success you want, it’s probably to do with these three things. Number one is too focused on ourselves, not focused enough on others. This is the biggest problem. And it takes a lot of practice. To move out of that. The solution to this is to really, and truly focus on the other person.
What do they want, what do they need? Why is it important to them and have that humble perspective? I’m here to help you get what you need. And the magic word is the word. You are important. You are wonderful. and we are here to help you sincerely. And the more we do that from the heart, the better everything is.
So here’s a little challenge, a little fun challenge for you is to take the time to move away from your own thinking about what you do and what you want to do, focus on understanding your audience. they’re hot buttons. What are the emotional things that are important to them? What do they want, what are they stuck in?
What problems do they have? What are they trying to avoid? Really understand them. When do they get up in the morning? What do they have for breakfast? Get a real understanding of who is this person and what are they. Doing in their life. And then once you have understood them much better, then find out what is the one or two things that you could offer that are gonna solve a big problem that they have and design your coaching packages and your courses and your trainings around that.
Start with them, design everything around that. And then put it in front of people and say, is this something you are interested in and see what they say? If they go I’m not sure. Or yeah, that might be useful. Then you haven’t got it. If they say, oh my God, I can’t believe you’ve craved this.
This is absolutely amazing that you’ve got in my head. I’ve just thinking about this morning. And here it is, when you have that response then you’ve obviously got the right offer and then you are not gonna have any problems. getting clients. So this is a bit of a practice. It takes some time, but you will change your entire life, your work and your success.
And this is something to come back to again and again, the more you master the basics, the more everything else will be easy.

Oceans of love to a beautiful spiritually minded, empathic light worker leader teacher in our world.
Are you wondering if it’s worth it to go to an event that might be out of your comfort zone?
It might be some sort of, healing conference where you could set up a booth or some sort of festival where you could come and present and market your services.
I’d like to share some thoughts on this with you today, that I hope help you to really ground in with whatever the best most aligned decision for you is that will lead to your own greatest success and being of service to the greatest number of souls. My name is Ariel Hecht, and I am the co-founder of awakened academy, spiritual life coach certification.
I’ve been helping spiritually minded, empathic souls become life coaches, become authors and teachers for over a decade. Now having worked with a number. Of souls. Like you I’ve consistently found that, although there can certainly be some benefit and you meet some people and you do some networking and these events I’ve noticed that this type of atmosphere and context doesn’t tend to lead to you, connecting with the right clients, with your ideal clients and.
in worst case scenarios, I’ve noticed it can end up being very overwhelming for people. There can be a lot of energy. There, there are a lot of other practitioners and modalities, a lot of people coming in who. probably aren’t align with what you have to offer. And so that can be a lot to navigate.
What’s better ultimately, and more ideal is for you to really hone in and get really clear about who the souls are. You are here to serve and tune in with where are they? do those people go to these events, do these people, are they on a certain social media channel? And I’ll give you an example of a beautiful student of ours who really aligned with and called in her ideal client to her.
So it’s there’s a difference between going out to find them. And staying in and really being of magnet for your ideal clients to find you, and also being clear about where they’ll find you and making sure you have content, you have your presence, where it needs to be. So this one lovely client of hours, she had the intention to work with a woman who.
has plenty of money in her life. Plenty, plenty of success in her work career. However, she feels stressed. She feels out of alignment with herself. She doesn’t feel in touch with her heart. She doesn’t feel happy. She doesn’t feel connected to a higher power. So our student was really clear about who this woman was.
She wrote out in detail. Everything she could think of about this woman. She wrote out the coaching package. She would like to offer her the pricing and she set that price nice and high for a high paying client. And this particular student she’s quite active on Instagram. and I believe she must have put out a post, on Instagram about this offering.
And literally she told us that within 24 hours, this exact woman who she described on paper found her signed up to work with her that day. Anne left her a $444 tip for their intro session. so that’s an example of like less energy expenditure on your part and much greater result. There’s a spiritual slogan, less expenditure, more splendor, right?
You wanna. You wanna make yourself available in the spaces that your ideal clients are in a way that feels aligned for you rather than going into a space where you might feel overextended and drained and perhaps not aligned with the right people.
One easy thing you can do is simply to get a piece of paper and a pen.
And take a moment to really breathe in deep and visualize who is your ideal client? Who would you love to work with? And just write down whatever comes to mind. Like our student we’re telling you about she, she wrote down in great detail, this person on a piece of paper, we’ve been telling her to do this actually for a long time.
And she just had put it off. And once she finally did it, then all sorts of miracles and wonders happened. It makes such a big difference when you know, extremely clearly who you’re here to help and what you can do to help them. Very simple thing is just write it all down. And then you just hold that vision, just hold the vision.
Imagine that this person or these people perfect person for you to work with has come into your field, into your work. They’re grateful. They’re happy. They’re inspired. They’re paying you really. and it’s just a beautiful experience and you see them, transforming their life and you get to have that satisfaction that you are really making a difference in the world.
So you wanna tune in with where are these people, where are these souls who you’re here to serve and to align yourself with being present in those spaces, whether physical or online. that’s going to be the best use of your energy, rather than going into a space where there’s a whole mix of all types of people.
And as someone who’s sensitive as someone who’s empathic that can really just end up being too much end up being draining and even discourage you. And we certainly don’t want that. If you loved this video, please subscribe, share it with our divine family of other light workers, healers, coaches, teachers, leaders, we all are in this together, and we need each other in this time of this great awakening.

A Guide to Spiritual Life Coaching
A Guide to Spiritual Life Coaching
As the world is shifting at such a rapid pace, many people are feeling called to make significant changes in their lives. Unfulfilling jobs are falling away, houses and cities are being changed, and overall, there is an undercurrent that now is a time when people are seeking something different.
So, it’s no surprise that Spiritual Life Coaching has piqued the interest of so many.
You might be feeling the call; the pull to drastically change your life. Perhaps you already know that you feel best when connecting with people and helping them create their dream life. Have you desired more connection with The Divine, more time in nature, and more freedom to live the life of your dreams? If this feels resonant for you, then perhaps Spiritual Life Coaching is the next step on your journey.
Here you will find the multitude of ways that becoming a Spiritual Life Coach may help serve your highest intentions by assisting others in unlocking their fullest potential.
What is a Spiritual Life Coach?
There are so many different types of coaches, so what exactly is a Spiritual Life Coach? Well, the answer is actually within you. How you sincerely wish to connect with people and the world is the real key to being a successful Spiritual Life Coach.
A Spiritual Life Coach is a guide through this wild and beautiful life. Someone that can mentor you through major transitions and gently assist you in staying on your highest path. People may be looking for a spiritual life coach because they want the wise counsel of a coach or mentor with a spiritual background. They may wish to deepen their own spiritual practice. Or look at their challenges more authentically and holistically.
The nice thing about Spiritual Life Coaching is how all-encompassing it can be for helping people find and walk their most authentic path. You have the freedom to tap into your intuition and decide what way feels most supportive to be of service to your potential students and clients.
Artists, health coaches, yoga or movement teachers, meditation teachers, spiritual business owners, entrepreneurs, and more may all benefit from operating their business with the knowledge from a Spiritual Life Coaching Certification. That’s the true beauty; you take the tools and then create your dream vision.
What Can A Spiritual Life Coach Help With?
Spiritual Life Coaches help their clients with a vast array of life experiences. That means that Spiritual Life Coaching is an entirely open field of possibilities concerning connecting with and guiding your clients. Spiritual Life Coaches can offer direction on business moves, healing practices or combine spiritual life coaching with other guidance practices such as health and wellness or business coaching. Spiritual Life Coaches can help their clients earn more money, find the freedom to follow their dreams, and tap into a deep connection with The Divine.
There are many coaches out there right now. And honestly, that is wonderful because it means that we are seeking our most significant expression as a human race. However, not all coaching programs offer spiritual teachings and a holistic approach to mentoring.
You may feel that coaching from a spiritual place feels essential to you. How else can you truly guide someone if not from that deep and infinite place of the beauty of The Divine? Spiritual Life Coaches lovingly inspire people to become the best versions of themselves.
Meditation Coaching
With the scientific research mounting and millions of people downloading mediation apps, Mediation is officially mainstream. There is a real need for meditation instruction for beginners and pros alike. Combining the aspects of creating a daily mediation practice and coaching someone is a powerful force.
When we can offer mediations to our clients to drop into their bodies and simply allow thoughts to arise and be, we can unlock a real power beyond the thinking mind. Mediation coaching is a beautiful way to work as a Spiritual Life Coach. Perhaps you’ve seen first hand in your life the transformational power of meditation, and you wish to share it with others.
Meditation is an influential and integral part of Spiritual Life Coaching because it honors where the client is while giving them the keys to open their intuition and move beyond fear of the past or future. Teaching people to find the here and now, again and again, can indeed invoke magic into everyday life.
If meditation is an integral part of your spiritual practice, you may be called to deepen your knowledge of meditation and take the teacher’s path. Meditation Teachers and Coaches are so needed in our world today, and becoming a Meditation Teacher or Coach can significantly impact your clients and their success.
Manifestation Coaching
Most clients seek out coaching because they want something different in their lives or they are looking to expand: a new job, health changes, greater abundance, lifestyle upgrades, healing, more freedom, etc. Spiritual coaches can greatly impact these shifts by sharing manifestation techniques to help align their clients with what they want.
Manifestation Coaching enables clients to get in touch with their subconscious limiting beliefs and then transform these outdated patterns to write a new life story going forward. It’s all about helping guide clients to what’s in the highest good for all, which includes them living in their true authentic worth.
As a Spiritual Life Coach, you can tap into this and share with others; you have a simple but effective tool to make dreams come true. “Trust and believe, and you shall receive,” is a beautiful mantra. Without an inner knowing of worth and grace, it is merely a lovely saying. That’s where you come in, nudging in the direction of the glorious truth that is within your clients. When we are open to receiving the most profound and most awe-inspiring things that this life has to offer, manifestation becomes natural.
Unlocking Your Potential
A quality Spiritual Life Coach has the grounding and nurturing ability to help clients unlock their most genuine potential. Fear has been fed into us through media, school systems, political systems, and generational trauma. So, it’s no wonder that this fear can keep us locked into a place of smallness. A place of smallness is a challenging place to launch big dreams and make significant life shifts from
Fortunately, with consistency, dedication, and inward focus, you can help your clients move from that place of fear into the light to share their unique vision with the world. From creating a daily spiritual practice, maintaining self-care rituals, and honoring and holding reverence for nature, there are a multitude of ways a Spiritual Life Coach can guide us to our most authentic and highest potential. You can help your clients see how truly gifted and supported they are. And help them get out of their own way by sidestepping false starts and self-imposed limits.
Consciousness Coaching
There is no past, no future, only now.
Becoming conscious of our habitual patterns opens up the beautiful door of CHOICE. When we are aware, we get to CHOOSE how to move through the world and CHOOSE how we respond. And when we inevitably slip out of consciousness, we again get to CHOOSE to come back. A beautiful practice, like a tree moving with the wind; remaining steady and allowing the wind to pass through the leaves. A Spiritual Life Coach can assist in the continual coming back into the here and now.
Becoming conscious is not a one-time thing but a daily practice. A quality coach can help us remember that having forward momentum and awareness can change those learned patterns. And that we have the power of choice to be here, right now.
Improving Your Relationships
One of the most essential parts of being a Spiritual Life Coach is helping clients affect positive change in their relationships.
We are all humans; we are meant to have a sensory experience here together. However, we often become disconnected while focusing on the outside world; carrying shame, blame, and guilt, and building walls around us to protect ourselves. Coaches can act as guardians, creating a safe space to be seen as our authentic selves.
When we live our genuine expressions, our relationships will start to blossom and bloom in ways we didn’t know possible. With a connection to The Divine and a regular consciousness practice, we can communicate from our hearts openly. And when we are living in our hearts, we can start to take down those walls of protection.
Spiritual Life Coaches know that living and speaking from your heart’s center opens up this magnificent possibility of connecting with others. Which is not only for romantic relationships! Imagine communicating with your children or your circle of trusted friends from your heart, your most genuine intention. When we see and express ourselves, we can give the same space and grace to others.
It’s said that money and love are connected. So, as we guide our clients to improve their relationships, it’s not surprising that there is also growth and movement in their openness to receive abundance. Relationships and how we connect with other humans are a true key to overall success and contentment.
Connecting with the Divine
A significant difference between a traditional Life Coach and a Spiritual Life Coach is the stable and consistent connection with the Divine that Spiritual Life Coaching supports. Not only is it immensely beneficial for clients to craft their daily spiritual practice, daily spiritual practice is of utmost importance for Spiritual Life Coaches themselves to stay sharp and focused, yet soft and adaptable.
Connection with the Divine can be found through organized religion, a spiritual path, a deep reverence for Mother Earth, or an innate knowing of the indescribable, untouchable divinity within. There are so many ways to connect to The Divine and open up that connection for others. When clients work with a consistent connection with the Divine, they can let go of fears and habits that may be keeping them stuck in unworthiness.
Healers, Breathwork Practitioners, Movement Teachers, Meditation Teachers, Authors, and Entrepreneurs can benefit from learning Spiritual Life Coaching to include in their practice — cultivating a deeper connection with The Divine, and serving their clients more deeply.
Finding Inner Peace
Many clients seek out the counsel of a Spiritual Life Coach because they feel a near-constant inner turmoil. A questioning and spinning out of control due to the ongoing stresses of daily life. Directing these clients to unearth their inner peace is genuinely transformative. Inner peace is the innate knowledge, the stillness within when everything feels stormy.
When guiding students through a visualization, I find it helpful to describe this inner peace as a golden thread, through my own heart, connecting to theirs and then going out to all beings and touching their hearts. Extending further still, this thread touches earth, becoming thick roots. Touches water, becoming moveable, swirling. And moving further out into the air, into space, becoming like the wind. That’s how I find my peace, in knowing that I am connected to all of life.
Other coaches and teachers have their own practices, each unique and beautiful. Again, that’s what makes Spiritual Life Coaching so wonderful. It’s open to your unique signature and style.
Tending to and maintaining inner peace is a daily practice. A regular coming back. And the practice is the goal.
Finding and Understanding YOUR Purpose
Spiritual Life Coaches can act as a guide in finding and understanding your purpose. Helping people unlock their dharma is so powerful and rewarding. Finding and living your purpose unlocks the mystery of being and raises the vibration of the entire planet.
Your client may already be in tune with their purpose, or they may need a little more time to really touch in. Contradictory to what modern society may have us believe, your purpose is not merely a career path. It’s what lights you up so honestly and authentically. And usually, it’s what scares us to death when we think about doing it! Spiritual Life Coaches can act as that touchpoint for people, to come back to when any fear pops up, and help clients remember why they are here.
When narrowing down a client’s purpose, it’s best to look at the aspects of their life which have been common themes throughout and the things that genuinely bring absolute joy.
Your purpose is your truest, most authentic expression. It’s already within your being.
Mindset Coaching
Many folks are seeking coaching so they can find the answers within themselves. This is where mindset coaching has an extraordinary impact. Mindset coaches act as a guide, but what sets them apart is that they forgo attempting to steer the student in any particular direction. With mindset coaching, we are rewiring the client’s mindset to unlock their most actual potential from within.
This flows beautifully with Spiritual Coaching because we can see that a connection to The Divine connects us deeper with our intuition and aids us in following our inner compass. Coaching is not about creating mini versions of ourselves. It’s about gently nudging our clients into their fullest, most realized potential and basking in the glory of a more authentic and alive world!
Were You Meant to Be a Spiritual Life Coach?
Knowing how genuinely versatile and expansive the path of a Spiritual Life Coach can be and reading through these coaching examples, is there something pulling your soul towards coaching? Are you meant to help connect people with their deepest desires and help them wake up to the beauty within themselves?
If you feel called to share your authentic message with others, you can see how becoming a Spiritual Life Coach yourself can aid in that vision. You can see how Spiritual Life Coaching is an opportunity to exceptionally up level and expand your own life. When you break free of the soul-crushing jobs, the stress of bills, and the struggle of working outside of your unique purpose, you will be afforded the luxury of using your wealth and energy to uplift the world.
If this feels aligned for you, Awakened Academy has the most transformative and supportive spiritual life coach certification program available. You can receive expert training from spiritually dedicated souls with over 20 years of combined training, and a deep foundation in spiritual teaching and meditation.
How to Start Your Spiritual Life Coaching Business
You may be now wondering just where to begin to start your own Spiritual Life Coaching business. Simply put, you will need dedication, a beginner’s mind, skilled teachers and mentors, and the openness to stay curious throughout the process of learning the tools of the trade.
Fortunately, Awakened Academy gives you the playbook on how to succeed in setting up your business. Upon completing the course, you will have the precise tools and map to create an abundant and deeply fulfilling coaching practice.
How to Market Your Spiritual Life Coaching Business
To most successfully market your business, you need to connect with what your potential clients seek. Whether it is freedom, health, abundance, or anything else, your audience has a deep desire that they want help fulfilling. They need guidance, and you will be where they will find the answer to what they seek.
It may seem that marketing involves selling yourself. That you are the product. However, to honor your highest alignment, don’t think of yourself as the product. Find the need that your potential clients have and market towards that!
Getting Clear About Your Messaging
What is your highest intention as a spiritual coach? Getting crystal clear about your messaging is key to attracting your aligned clients and to honoring your truth. Since we are all connected through The Divine but have our own unique experience, there is no limit to how much you can refine and mold your messaging.
To get clear about your messaging, you must first need to know what you truly LOVE doing and then align your messaging behind that LOVE. You can model your business after someone else’s who seems to have it all, but if it’s not part of your authentic expression of authenticity, then it might not go far.
What is it that you feel deeply connected with? What is it that has helped you along the way? What do you truly love learning about and sharing with the world? Take time to get crystal clear on this, and your messaging will flow naturally.
There’s a successful path for you as long as you are honoring what you truly love!
Attracting Clients
Attracting clients can seem a bit overwhelming. How will you find these people?
Attracting the most aligned clients will come from narrowing down your niche and diving into what you truly know you are good at and what you have fun doing.
You want to attract clients by connecting with them deeply and empathetically and tuning into their biggest dreams to help make them a reality. Get really specific with the person you want to attract. Who are they, and what are they looking for?
Once you have a clear idea of who your coaching is geared for, begin crafting your messaging and marketing speaking directly to them. Your coaching and courses won’t be for everyone, and that’s okay! It’s better to know at the beginning who you are wanting to serve and seeking those people out, rather than watering down your unique knowledge and gifts.
How to Be Seen as an Expert
The world is filled with so many so-called experts that it can be overwhelming for spiritual and mindset coaches. How can we operate in new territory and be seen as experts? Well, the answer is simple, really. You are an expert in the field. No one has ever lived life like you, so you have a unique take on the world that no doubt will help others move through the challenges they face.
Common Pitfalls and Other Traps to Watch Out For
Being too scared to Begin
Okay, so you’ve completed the Course, gained so much knowledge, and you are solid in your daily spiritual and self-care practices. Now, this is where many can fall into the first trap: being too scared to move forward once they’ve completed training. I understand! However, you are here for a reason. Your experience and being are entirely unique, meaning NO ONE is telling your story yet. No one can share your amazing and divine knowledge. You may never do it “perfectly,” but you are always you perfectly.
When I completed my first mediation teacher training, I was SO nervous to begin. I was leaving my known field of over 16 years to venture into new territory, and I was experiencing major imposter syndrome. My teacher gave me some of the best advice I had received, which is, within the first week of completing training and graduating, set up an email list of everyone you know and let them know about your new services. I nervously took that advice and sent out a heartfelt and honest email about my new services, and I got students almost immediately! The same rule of thumb goes for beginning to work with clients as a spiritual coach. The best place to begin is right where you are.
You have something special to share with this world, and we need your light.
Giving Too Much Away
I believe that giving our time and energy as an act of service is a beautiful and needed practice for abundance. However, many coaches can get trapped in the mindset of offering more services for free or very low cost because they don’t see themselves yet as experts. This really comes down to an issue of self-worth. It can be natural to second guess ourselves.
However, once you have put in the work to become a spiritual life coach, one of the best pieces of advice is to set your prices according to their true worth and not to sell yourself short. To honor the part of you that wants to help people in need, you can create a monthly allotment of time and energy that you will give freely in various ways.
These might be free meditations through a social media outlet. Free services for people in your area in need. Or acting as a mentor free of charge to someone you truly believe in. A couple hours a week devoted to giving freely in a way that feels truly aligned with The Divine is far better spent than selling yourself short by not charging what you are entirely worth.
Mirroring Others
Of course, when we are on the path towards living our most authentic expression, there can be curveballs and pitfalls to watch for. With social media so present in our culture, it can be easy to make your coaching look like someone else’s. But, the easiest way for you to attract your most aligned clients is to honor your authentic self.
Making your business look like someone else’s because that’s how you’ve been told you’ll succeed is a sure way to fall flat. Trust yourself that you are meant to be here, meant to connect with your people, and meant to share your truth.
Are you ready?
Does reading this get you excited and nervous because it feels aligned with your true purpose? Can you feel in your body the call to move forward in intentional action to the next step on your path?
If you’d love to learn more, you may schedule an altogether no strings attached complimentary session with a coaching expert to see if Awakened Academy is a great fit and begin your sacred journey as a Spiritual Life Coach or a Meditation Coach.
How To Improve Spiritual Wellness For Better Health
8 Ways to Improve Spiritual Health and Wellness
In the busyness of this fast-paced world, it can be easy to let our spiritual health sit by the wayside while we forge ahead through planning, competing, and doing. We can allow ourselves to get so caught up in our doing that we forget that we are human beings, not human doings. And in this constant striving and the hustle and bustle, we may lose touch with our inner knowing of the connection to something greater.
Whether you refer to this greater being as God, The Divine, The One, The Creator, or so on, remembering to connect to our spiritual anchor can significantly improve our Spiritual Health and Wellness. Below you’ll find 8 beautiful ways to strengthen Spiritual Health and Wellness that can bring us back to presence and allow for a deeper connection.
Connect with Nature
Connection with nature is a beautiful way to improve your spiritual health. Regular time spent in nature enhances emotional health. Many scientific studies prove that time spent in nature adds to your physical well-being.
Nature acts as a window into the Divine, and being in nature aids us in the remembering of our incredible connection to all things. Allow your body to come into contact with nature through grounding your bare feet to the Earth, or touching a tree or plant, or swimming in natural water sources.
Of course, a hike by a river or up a mountain is lovely. We can also find nature available to us right outside our homes, whether at a park or in our backyards. Make connecting with nature a part of your daily routine, commit to time in nature every day and watch as the benefits unfold in your spiritual life.
Breathing and Spirituality
Awareness of breath is a profound tool for increasing our spiritual well-being. The breath can act as an anchor, pulling us out of the trance of our ongoing thoughts and back into our presence. The breath is always available for us to return. And we don’t have to do anything; we simply need to remember to come home to our breath, in addition to using the natural breath as an anchor.
Breathwork is intentionally changing our breathing pattern to bring about increased calm, vitality, clarity, and energy. Through intentional, deep belly breathing, we can come out of fight or flight of the sympathetic nervous system and activate our parasympathetic nervous system, which controls our body’s rest and digest functions. From this place of internal calm, we can access our spiritual connection with greater ease.
One of my favorite simple breathwork practices is Alternate Nostril Pranayama. During alternate nostril pranayama, you alternate between breathing in and out of the left or right nostril for several minutes. This practice helps balance the body’s energy, increases focus and lessens anxiety and stress. A daily breathwork practice can be added to a meditation practice before yoga or called on throughout your day. With regular exercise, breathwork can lead to profound spiritual insights.
Keep a Spiritual Journal
Journaling is another excellent way to improve your spiritual health. Journaling opens up our subconscious minds to uncover our greatest dreams, areas that might need healing, and our connection to The Divine. Journaling gives us greater access to empathy and compassion. It can also give us greater insight into old blocks and patterns that may be holding us back. I love journaling as part of my daily spiritual practice. Each morning I free-write about my manifestations, desires, and insights into any old stress or wounding that may come up for me. I write out a daily gratitude list and affirmations that I carry with me throughout my day. This simple act may significantly deepen your connection with The Divine.
Keep your journal handy when you are just finished with a meditation practice, when you are in nature, or at the beginning and end of each day. There may be key insights you want to remember.
Meditate to Improve Spiritual Health
Meditation is probably the first way that many think of improving their spiritual wellness. Meditation has been used for thousands of years to connect with oneself and with the universe. Meditation allows space for acceptance and understanding of the self. And the more profound experience we have of ourselves, the more precise our path to our spiritual connection. Meditation also allows us to accept our thoughts and feelings. The more we work with our thoughts and feelings, the freer we become. Thinking happens without us trying to make anything happen. Thoughts are just like clouds passing in the sky. And the understanding of that can help us lessen the grip our thoughts can have on us. With that freedom, we have more room to connect deeper with our spirituality. To see the complex synchronicities and links that are present in our lives.
The beautiful thing about meditation is that it truly is available to begin wherever you are. You can start with a simple daily practice of 5 minutes a day. This sense of allowing what is to be and unfold naturally grows as your practice grows. As we continue with a mediation practice, the clarity and space that becomes naturally available make a deeper connection with the Divine more readily available. Meditation can also happen outside of formal practice. Informal meditation practice can take place at any moment when we can drop into our entire presence. And that presence of being can open us up to the feeling of connection with all beings.
For a free course in spiritual meditation and connection to the Divine, this one is very helpful.
Love and Spirituality
Love is a cornerstone of strengthening our spiritual health and well-being. We have all heard the saying that God Is Love. Unfortunately, many can forget love for all beings, especially when we are overworked and buying into old power structures and belief paradigms. The act of unconditionally loving ourselves and others is truly the path to freedom. The task is simple but not easy. It is a continual coming back to remembering love. Then love becomes less of an act and more of a state of being. You are not in love. You simply ARE love.
Love Ourselves
The first step to a practice of unconditional love is loving ourselves. I have previously spent many years in shame and blame for mistakes I have made. When I started to love those parts of me as essential and integral parts of my being, I really could open up to a more fulfilling spiritual life. Everyone has those parts we wish were different. Whether they are aspects of the physical body, “shouldas” and “couldas” we place on ourselves, or mistakes we hope would disappear. Our ego has a job to keep us safe and alive, which sometimes means striving towards some unattainable level of perfection and correction. However, the radical act of unconditional love of self sets us free.
To begin working with the unconditional love of self, set aside some time each day to honor and love every part of you, even those that you may not particularly like right now. When a thought of not-enough-ness comes knocking, bring awareness to it. It may feel cumbersome at first, but with regular practice, a heightened sense of love will wash over you. Love even the thought.
Remember, you are not a mistake. You are a beautiful divine soul.
Love Others
With unconditional love for self comes unconditional love for others. Just as you are a soul worthy of love, so is every other being on Earth. Love for others enhances our spiritual health by removing the blocks that separate us as beings. With those blocks removed, we can see the golden thread connecting all of us, to each other, to the planet, and to The Creator.
One way I have found helpful to coming back to loving others is a simple practice of Metta. Metta is a Pali word. Pali is the Sanskrit language that the Buddha spoke. Metta translates to mean loving kindness and good-heartedness towards self and others. There are many Metta phrases to explore. Some include:
“May you be happy.”
“May you be healthy.”
“May you be free from pain.”
“May you be filled with lovingkindness.”
Feel free to use these or come up with a phrase that feels like an authentic expression of your love. The practice of Metta can be used formally as meditation or just as you go about your day interacting with other beings. You can practice these phrases silently while waiting in the checkout line at the grocery store. Imagine the peace that can come over you if you wish health, happiness, and love to all those you encounter! Metta can be mighty when interacting with those that we find difficult. Try a daily practice of offering unconditional love and lovingkindness to those you meet, and watch as your spiritual health transforms.
Yoga for Spirituality
Movement is an integral part of a solid spiritual practice. And yoga is a foundational practice for growth in spirituality and wellness. Through the connection of breath and movement, yoga unites the body, mind, and spirit. We can access greater confidence in our beings with continued practice. Yoga benefits our physical bodies. It aids in improving our focus, allowing us to be more present. With improved focus and concentration, we can easily find calm and joy in our lives. Yoga is a space to care for our physical being through the movement of our bodies while opening up our limitless connection to the Divine.
Be Intentional With Your Spiritual Practices
Setting intentions is immeasurably valuable to sticking with your spiritual practices and deepening those practices. To be intentional, we should first know our WHY? Why are you called to your spiritual practice, and why do you keep coming back? Why do you wish to connect with this place beyond yourself that is also inside of yourself? I love the saying, “We get good at anything we practice, whether we mean to or not.” So, what is your intention for your spiritual health? And is your intention backed by your regular, intentional action? Daily, you can decide to be intentional with how you spend your time and cultivate your spirituality.
Gratitude and Spirituality
A gratitude practice is, for many, the foundation of their spiritual health and wellness. We’ve all heard stories of very successful people who were still unhappy, addicted, overworked, and lacking in love. Could this be because they lacked gratitude? Gratitude is available to us no matter where we are on our journey. And no matter where we wish to go. A little appreciation can go a long way! With gratitude, you may soon find yourself simply amazed and overcome with gratitude for the abundance available to you in every moment.
Appreciation for this present moment, this circumstance, this lesson, can alter our perception of life and give us a path towards spiritual freedom.
Conclusion
There are many ways to increase our spiritual health and wellness. When used as a regular practice, these simple tools can transform our lives and open us to all that is possible. As you continue on your spiritual path, you may feel called to begin helping others on their own journeys. As we grow and shift, we seek more meaningful work and relationships. Perhaps you want to find your community of like-minded beings to share and grow alongside. If so, it might be that becoming a Spiritual Life Coach is part of your calling. Teaching and guiding others can significantly improve our spiritual health. Becoming a Spiritual Life Coach is a way to add value to the world through your work while still having lots of time for your own spiritual practice and doing what you truly love.

Why the Law of Attraction Doesn’t Work For Most People (And What You Can Do To Manifest Abundance and Your Heart’s True Desires)
Why the Law of Attraction doesn't work for most people
(and what you can do to manifest abundance and your heart’s true desires)Why are most people not manifesting what they want?
If your life is not exactly as you’d love it to be and if you’ve been struggling to manifest your dreams, you are not alone. Look around. How many people do you know who have tried to use the Law of Attraction but don’t have the life they want?
How many people do what they love every day?
How many are truly happy?
Probably not many. I’ve personally spoken to hundreds of people about why the Law of Attraction is not working for them. I’ve taught thousands of people in our courses Spiritual Life Coach Certification. And I can assure you that very few people understand the deeper workings of manifestation. Even worse – most people have experienced negative side effects from attempting to make the Law of Attraction work for them. Their lives have actually become worse and they have a nagging feeling that they are not as far along the path as they should be. They are always wanting something they don’t have now and are rarely happy with their life the way it is, today.
Be warned: The traditional Law of Attraction teachings (if taken literally) can screw up your life and leave you with nightmares from shattered and distorted dreams. People who apply the Law of Attraction in the wrong way have half-dreams and nothing to show for them. Their experiences are like the movie, The Fly in which a man is teleported in a machine with a stray fly. When he is re-materialized he has become half man, half fly. If you get these techniques wrong, they are worse than having done nothing. Disappointment is a heavy burden. Without the other secrets I’m going to share with you, the Law of Attraction can be harmful.
I had to learn this the hard way myself.
In my mid-twenties, I was trying to use the Law of Attraction to create my dream life – but I was depressed, lost, confused and broke. It simply wasn’t working and the harder I tried, the worse my life got. After about 14 months of trying it, I found myself so distressed that I was laying in the middle of a field crying and hoping I’d die because my life was so miserable. In that deep pain, I realized that there must be something I was missing. And I was determined to find out what it was. I had no other choice.
Finally I discovered the secrets I’m about to share with you and my whole life changed. Within six months of applying these methods, I was living my dream life on the paradise island Kauai, Hawaii. I now live in stunning Sedona, Arizona with my wife and we have a beautiful home with amazing views, surrounded by world class trails in all directions. I spend my days doing what I love, and getting paid! My life has just gotten better and better. I now feel so deeply blessed by life, that it is my mission to serve as many people as possible to create their real dream life – and to discover the tools that really work. I now help entrepreneurs and people who want to make a positive impact, to create the life they love as they serve the world.
It is my honor and joy to connect with you! You are amazing and you have limitless possibilities inside of you!
So let’s get started with you and with creating your dreams. To begin, we need to first review the common Law of Attraction knowledge, then we’ll explore a little history of the popular Law of Attraction teachings and where things may have gone wrong. We will then focus on the things that will turn it all around for you, so you can create a life you truly love.
. . .
What are the seven traditional Laws of Attraction?
The Law of Manifestation
The Law of Manifestation is the foundation of the Law of Attraction. This law tells us that what we hold in mind tends to manifest. If we hold in mind fear and imagine terrible things, our life will literally go in that direction. If we hold in mind beautiful thoughts, feelings and visualizations, our life will begin to flourish with opportunity, love and meaning. Our minds are powerful, and the Law of Manifestation is based on the power of the mind. Like attracts like, and so, the more we are embodying thoughts and feelings of joy, wealth, service and love, the more we will create and attract opportunities that bring even more joy, wealth, service and love into our lives.
The Law of Magnetism
The Law of Magnetism states that as we are, so we attract. In a sense, we are like walking magnets. If we are living in an elevated level of consciousness and awareness, beautiful experiences, people and things will be attracted to us. Love attracts love. Hate attracts hate. Like a magnet, like is attracted to like. The law tells us that it isn’t so much a “going out and getting,” but more of a “becoming and attracting like a magnet.”
The Law of Unwavering Desire
The Law of Unwavering Desire means that we hold within our heart and mind, that which we intend to manifest – with unwavering focus. I’m going to change the word “desire” here to “pure heart’s desire”, as desire originating from the ego mind is what can trip people up, as we’ll discuss shortly. If we’re going to focus on something with unwavering attention, we want to make sure it is true, good and pure. Otherwise, focusing on it and manifesting it can be a real problem. Therefore, as we’ll discuss more shortly, we must first learn how to be in touch with our heart’s true and pure desires. We must be surrendered to the highest good for all. When you are free of doubt, fear and desperation, and in alignment with your pure heart’s desire, unwavering attention becomes natural.
The Law of Delicate Balance
The Law of Delicate Balance refers to the art of balancing the pure desire you wish to manifest, and being completely content, satisfied and at peace with your life right now. The irony is, that in order to manifest that which you desire, you must actually feel that you’ve already attained everything – that you’re completely free and full. Delicate balance can also refer to the balance of holding your pure vision and intention in your mind and heart, AND also taking inspired action in the world. If you only work on the subtle level of mind, and take no action, you will not be able to bring your manifestation to life. On the other hand, if you run around all the time acting and chasing after things, without using the power of your mind’s thoughts and feelings, you will similarly come up empty handed in the things you wish to manifest.
The Law of Harmony
The Law of Harmony tells us that maintaining a peaceful and harmonious state of being, is essential. We must have a pure desire for our manifestation, and then ultimately, we must be loving and detached and completely let it go. We must reach a state of equanimity in which, it is ok if it manifests, and it’s ok if it doesn’t. Ultimately, you are surrendered to the highest good for all, and you rest in that peace. This brings the energy of harmony into your consciousness and life, and actually is a key element of manifestation.
The Law of Right Action
The Law of Right Action guides us to appreciate that not all actions are created equal. Some actions spring forth from a lower state of consciousness – wanting, chasing after, stressing. These actions are not beneficial and lead to further consequences. And then higher actions spring from a place of inspiration, joy, lightness and freedom. These actions lead us to manifesting abundance and beauty in our life. These are the actions we need to take, to achieve real beneficial results with the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Universal Influence
The Law of Universal Influence means that there is a collective field of consciousness that we are all connected to. Some may refer to this universal web of interconnection as the Universe. As we engage in manifestation, we are affecting and being affected by the greater universal influence of the collective. This is where the highest good for all comes in. When we intend for that which we attract into our lives to be in the highest good for all, we are blessing ourselves and all of life, by calling forth healing and goodness for all. This pulls us out of selfish ego-based reasons for manifestation, and brings us into a higher awareness of our connection to all of life.
Does the Law of Attraction work?
Now we come to explore, does the Law of Attraction work? So far, we’ve touched on the seven traditional Laws of Attraction. Each one is genuinely sacred and powerful when understood and applied correctly. So why do so many people get poor or negative results using the Law of Attraction? Where did we go wrong? To understand this, we must first understand the ineffective Law of Attraction teachings and where they come from.
. . .
Where do ineffective Law of Attraction teachings come from?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve either seen or heard of “The Secret,” a 2006 film produced by Prime Time Productions. While Abraham Hicks claims to be the first to create/describe the Law of Attraction teachings, The Secret film and book were where most people first heard about them.
As you know – the essence of the Law of Attraction is simple.
The basic idea is:
Everything you want may be attained by seeing, feeling & believing that you will receive the outcome, by consistently thinking about it, and by maintaining positive emotional states to “attract” it.
Or in simpler terms:
Ask — Believe — Receive.
These teachings are now so common in our community that many of us take them for granted. If you want a car, for example, you may think that you just need to imagine, feel and believe you have the car regularly – and stay happy overall – and the car will soon show up in your life for you to drive. This sounds good in theory, but let us see what is really going on with this traditional teaching of the Law of Attraction. Let’s find out what is missing. Let’s discover how you can truly create the life and experiences your heart desires – even if you haven’t had success in the past.
To begin, let’s get real and be totally honest. Nearly everyone has had some occasional experiences of success with this traditional Law of Attraction method (Ask — Believe — Receive). However, we must ask ourselves, has this method consistently worked in a way that is reliable, guaranteed and free of hidden problems? And, have we seen it work successfully for others who have tried it? In short, is this the real deal, or are there other factors at play that may actually be even more powerful?
This article shares the difference between the limited traditional methods and the deeper, more secret aspects of conscious creation that are rarely spoken of or understood.
. . .
What really happens when people apply the traditional Law of Attraction methods?
The theory sounds great. Ask — Believe — Receive. Unfortunately, many people who have tried this method in their lives have either:
1. Had inconsistent success (and not been able to rely on the method or know what they did that made it work or not work).
2. Not manifested the things they wanted (and often ended up feeling disempowered, disappointed, depressed or in debt from what was meant to be an empowering process).
3. Manifested the things they wanted, only to realize they didn’t really want them! (and faced a whole array of unforeseen problems that actually made their life considerably worse than before).
4. Not been able to apply the methods because their mind was all over the place (and they have not been able to stay in a positive state).
In this article, you will discover the missing secrets in The Secret. You will learn what you can do to truly manifest abundance and your heart’s desires – consistently, with maturity, and with deep understanding.
My aim is to supply you with all you will ever need to attain your heart’s true desires. This is for you to never again wonder what you are doing wrong and if your manifestation process is working or not. Once you uncover these eternal truths and master yourself, you can sit on the seat of a master creator. You will have the ability to command the power of the Universe to yield to you whatever is pure and true in your heart. I have personally used these methods to manifest a profoundly beautiful, loving, abundant life in both Hawaii and Sedona, where I now write to you. Not only have I created physical wealth and its expressions, but more importantly, I have experienced spiritual wealth, loving relationships, health, energy, joy and the ability to make a significant contribution to the world. I owe my success in life to the application of these 3 secrets I’m about to share with you, and it is my joy to reveal them so you can go ahead and be all you were born to be.

How to use the Law of Attraction (and the three Missing Secrets)
To begin, I want to acknowledge that the traditional Law of Attraction teachings are not wrong, they are just incomplete – and when used with the understanding of these three secrets, you will be able to create whatever you truly desire in life. The traditional methods are about 50% of the conscious creation puzzle. This article will give you the remaining 50% you were not told about, so you can apply it properly in your life.
These secrets are eager to be revealed. They are available for all who are willing to see. I call them secrets because they are rarely disclosed by those who teach the Law of Attraction. You deserve to know what they are. So, if you are tired of not experiencing the life you want, let’s get to it and start filling in the gaps.
. . .
Missing Secret 1:
Not all desires are the same…
This first secret was alluded to in the title of this article. In the traditional Law of Attraction teachings, it is stated that whatever you want you can have if you focus on having it enough, feel good about having it and generally stay in positive emotions. Unfortunately, the alarming problem with this teaching is the word “want.” Why? Because not everything we “want” is truly what we really, deeply and honestly desire on a soul level. In fact, most of the things we think we want will never bring us any real happiness and fulfillment at all. Worse still, even if we do manifest our lower desires, they will materialize along with a disturbing progeny of unexpected complications, suffering, frustrations, depression and even bankruptcy in some cases.
There is an enormous difference between your ego/mind-based set of limited desires – and your heart’s pure, true desires. Your heart’s desires come from your soul and are divinely ordained. They are in alignment with the highest good for all, naturally. The energy between these two kinds of desires couldn’t be further apart – and most Law of Attraction teachings do not make any distinction between them. People may be blindly led to create lives that they end up hating, and they have experiences or relationships that they would be happier without. Not all desires are made equal! Be careful what you ask for!
What happens when you try to manifest your mind/ego desires?
First, if you try to manifest limited desires of your mind, you will probably easily give up as soon as you encounter a problem or obstacle. You find yourself giving up because weak, superficial desires lack power and true motivation to withstand the challenges of life. Many people fail and end up feeling disempowered because in their heart of hearts they didn’t want these ego desires deeply enough to pursue them in all situations. Sadly, after abandoning the new car, new house or whatever their superficial desire was, most people just go away feeling weaker than before. They never take the time to get clear on what they truly desire. They remain stuck, and they feel even more lost than they were before.
The second common outcome, if you let the ego drive the car of your life, and if you are trying to manifest from your mind, is that upon arriving at your destination, you find yourself fraught with endless problems and dramas. Relationship issues, health problems, depression, addiction, financial problems – you name it. It is ironic that many of those involved in the movie The Secret ended up in nasty legal squabbling – rather than being in joy, bliss and abundance that the film claims to be about. Additionally, consider the many sad stories of those who win the lottery. Suddenly, they have all of this money, and there is the psychological overwhelm and ego temptations of what to do with it. Statistics tell us that within seven years of winning the lottery, 70% of people are broke and worse off than before.
Warning!
It is essential that you only consciously ask and focus your attention on your heart’s pure desires or you will end up disempowered, fraught with unexpected problems, or both. Until you are clear about your pure desires, stay happy, relaxed and keep asking for guidance on what is the highest good for all. By having the inner intention, “I am surrendered to the highest good for all,” you will naturally bring into your awareness your heart’s pure desires. When your intent is pure and genuine, the knowing will come.
How do you know if your desire is pure? It will sit well with your whole being. You will feel relaxed and peaceful about it. Your mind, heart and body will feel at peace with the pure desire, and you, the soul, will be at ease.
On the contrary, if the desire is not pure and originating from ego, your conscience will bite you. It will not sit well in your mind and heart, and you may find yourself second guessing yourself a lot, and questioning your desire.
You know it’s pure when you can desire it, let it go completely and feel totally at peace.
What happens when you manifest your heart’s pure, true desires?
When you align with your true self, you naturally align with your heart’s pure desires. Manifestation from this place is more effortless, and the results of manifestation are like “icing on the cake” of an already overflowing state of peace and joy that you experience as your inner nature.
You are an eternal being of love, peace, purity, power and bliss. You already have everything right now. The purpose of spiritual evolution is simply to remove the blocks to that which you already are and to serve others from your heart. When you do so, manifestation becomes natural, as higher states of consciousness attract beautiful experiences and manifest abundance.
As you open yourself to the truth about your eternal nature and meaning of life, and as you take time to be in silence, contemplation and meditation, you will connect with your heart’s true desires easily.
Let’s do a little exercise to help you get in touch with this now.
Questions to discover your heart’s true desires:
Imagine you are in your highest state of consciousness.
What would be the highest physical manifestation of your inner nature?
What is “the highest good for all” in terms of your life path?
At the end of your life, what would you love to be known for?
Which life situations would bring you joy, again and again and again?
What is the greatest level of heart-felt service you could do?
If you had never watched TV, or been exposed to any advertising and social brainwashing, what would you truly desire?
Write down whatever comes to you. And keep asking these questions until your heart feels fully engaged, warm and excited. When you smile from your soul and your heart is ablaze with love, you know you’ve discovered your heart’s true desires. Note: your heart’s true desires will always be related to sharing your gifts, serving others and making a difference. Money, abundance and love come as a consequence of you living your heart’s true desires. You can’t chase money and love! They are an automatic consequence of you connecting with your deeper, heart-felt desires and of your service to others.
Until you get to the level of inspiration I just described, keep asking these questions. Don’t bother trying to manifest things that are from your ego. It is a waste of time and energy. Have patience and you will hear your heart. And, keep focused on the other secrets you are learning here, and that I am about to share.

Missing Secret 2:
What is your level of consciousness?
It’s myth-busting time! A huge myth in the new age movement is that everyone has a similar capacity to manifest things if they simply apply the traditional methods. If you look around, you can clearly see this is not true. Some people manifest seemingly effortlessly and others, despite all their hard work, never seem to manifest or change anything.
The reason behind this discrepancy is that each individual has a distinct level of consciousness. According to Dr. David Hawkins, each of us is born with a calibratable level of consciousness. Dr. Hawkins created a log-rhythmic map of consciousness from 0 to 1000. The higher your level of consciousness = the more power you have. What this means for you is that the more power you have, the easier it is to attract and manifest things. This is the real secret to manifestation. It is not a technique but an existing state of being.
For example, someone whose level of consciousness is 50 (the level of apathy) simply does not have the power to feel good, to think positively and to attract new things. They simply are not able to apply the Law of Attraction fully even if they wanted to—no matter how easy it may sound to someone else.
On the other side of the scale, someone with a level of consciousness 575 (level of ecstasy and siddhis) is living in a completely different world with entirely different possibilities. On this level, Hawkins teaches, it is as if there is a constant and endless flow of profound manifestations far greater and more amazing than anything mentioned in The Secret and other Law of Attraction teachings. On this level of consciousness, one is in touch with their deeper, true self, and already experiencing a state of inner peace and fullness. This level is a state before Enlightenment. And at this level of consciousness, life is nothing short of a series of constant miracles and synchronicities that happen spontaneously and automatically.
Even Abraham Hicks, one of the main proponents of the Law of Attraction teachings, stated: “That which is like unto itself is drawn”. These words make sense in the context of the levels of consciousness.
In essence, another way to redefine the Law of Attraction is to say that whatever state we have become is what we will attract.
What this effectively means, is that it isn’t so much “the method” we apply to manifest that is important. Rather, we attract that which we have actually become as conscious beings.
To know that the Law of Attraction methods simply don’t work for everyone may come as a bit of a shock to some people – because we’ve been taught to believe that these methods will work for us all. The sobering truth is that the real secret to the Law of Attraction is the level of consciousness of the person doing it. The higher your level of consciousness, the more power you have to manifest your heart’s desires.
How can you ascend in your level of consciousness?
There are three main elements that will support you in increasing your level of consciousness.
1. Be Humble
Realize that your ego is limited. It doesn’t know everything, and it isn’t always right. Once you accept that you are a student of life, and that being loving and kind is more important than being right or holding on to limiting beliefs, you open yourself to a higher awareness which raises your level of consciousness.
2. Surrender to God/The Divine
It’s important not to get caught up in words here as we talk about God. There is an energy that is infinitely powerful and pure, that has the power to burn through the clouds that shield us from our true power and liberate us from all our suffering, confusion and anxiety. This Being is here to remove the clouds in our life. As you humbly choose to let go, to surrender the limited ego side of you to the Divine, to release old ideas, to forsake old resentments, negative habits and being right, you begin to open up to an enormous power. This power purifies your soul and raises your level of consciousness. Simply be humble and be aligned with this energy. And watch as your life naturally improves. For guided meditations on connecting with the Divine, visit our meditation page.
3. Be loving to all of life
The ego-self is selfish and greedy. As your consciousness ascends and as you come into your power, your life becomes aligned with service and loving others. Transcending the ego’s wants and fulfilling your heart’s true desires will bring you more than the momentary joy of attaining. In fact, as you serve others from your heart, all of your own human needs and desires for love, wealth, and health will be fulfilled (even without wishing for or focusing on those specific outcomes).

Missing Secret 3:
It’s the opposite of what you’d expect
We have arrived at the final hidden secret.
This secret is subtle and even counter-intuitive.
Recall the basic Law of Attraction teaching, which guides you to Ask — Believe — Receive or suggests that you can manifest whatever you think about most and believe you can have.
From my own experience, the magic moment when things appear in my reality, is after I do the opposite of trying to think about what I want, and instead try to believe that I already have it. Ironically, every time amazing things show up in my life, it is after I have done the following:
1. Gotten clear on my heart’s true desires.
2. Surrendered to the Divine and felt so full inside of myself that I honestly don’t need anything.
3. Let go of any desire to have the things I want completely.
At the point where I truly no longer want the thing I was thinking about, where I deeply, honestly and proudly feel complete and satisfied, it is at that moment that magic happens. Most often within one second to 24 hours, amazing things show up. This always comes as a strange surprise because I had just given up wanting it completely and had no interest in it.
I have received large sums of money, amazing opportunities, business partners, cars, and a very beautiful, sweet relationship with my now wife, who I wasn’t sure would even exist.
So, the secret is again not about the wanting and trying, it is about the letting go, surrendering, and feeling truly full without having the desired attained. It is one thing to imagine you have a nice car and feel good because you are day-dreaming about the car – and quite another thing to honestly feel content, happy and full with your life now regardless of any objects, people or experiences. The secret is to feel the feelings of contentment and lightness for their own sake. You can surrender to God, to the Divine – for its own sake, not to get anything. This is a deep and profound secret that ironically will create more magic than you can imagine – but you can’t do it if your motivation is to get stuff. Do it for its own sake. Really go deep and feel the power.
How to surrender and let go?
Once you’ve experienced yourself having attained whatever it is that your heart truly desires, imagine it in a bubble. Surrender that whole vision and possibility to the Divine. Allow it to float away and then let it go, totally and completely. Really let it go as if it doesn’t matter at all to you if it happens or not. Feel that if it is destined to happen, it will. If not, it won’t – and either way you have surrendered to the best possibility ever. It is all good. You are free. As you let go, feel how blessed you are already. Feel how your life is about service, and that whatever you can do to serve more, is great. You are surrendered to the highest good for all and aligned with the Divine. You are a humble servant of life and life itself is a wonderful gift. See and feel life as a cosmic entertainment. As you do this, you will feel a lightness and peace come over you. Breathe deep and allow yourself to relax. Be thankful for all of life and how rich you already are. You have already attained everything. Truly. You need nothing. You are complete. Smile on your world.

The “Obvious” Bonus Secret
This article would not be complete without this bonus tip! One of the biggest complaints against the traditional Law of Attraction teachings is that you can simply sit on a chair all day, imagine you have a million dollars and the million dollars will show up in the mail. I think we all can tell how naive this approach is. It may be great for selling gimmicks, but useless in practice. Along with all the deeper and more subtle secrets we’ve shared – the final (and obvious) secret is:
TAKE MASSIVE ACTION!
ACT NOW! Make it happen! The Law of Attraction simply will not work if you just sit on a chair and imagine things.
You actually have to DO stuff! Once you’ve done all the inner work, you will start to have ideas, guidance, and opportunities arising. This is a sign that things are working. However, the next thing you need to do is ACT ON THE INSPIRATIONS you have received.
Make the phone call. Meet the person. Book the flight. Buy that website domain name. Post that article. Send the package. Whatever it is, just do it! And do it NOW, DO IT NOW, DO IT NOW!!!
Be aligned on all levels – spiritually, mentally, emotionally AND physically. Act now and make it happen. Your action is an essential part of the process.
If you add this last step, you now have all the tools you could ever need to create a truly happy, loving, remarkable, fulfilled and beautiful life. All of these steps combined have allowed me to create the life I love, doing what I love and serving the world.
May your days be full of inner peace, smiles and laughter as you become who you were born to be. Bless the world with your life. Surrender to the highest good for all and live the miracle.
