Giving Thanks!
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Manifesting
‘Tis the season to reflect and express gratitude for all the beautiful gifts in life. Some gifts received may initially be seen as challenges. But once we shift our perspective, the true gift is revealed. This has happened numerous times to me this year. What I’ve learned through this is to let go of expectations.
Expectations keep us bound to a thought or belief that our goals will be reached in a specific way. The mind (ego) often believes it knows the best possible route to take in a situation or life. When it doesn’t work out the way we expect, frustration is often the outcome. When we have a specific plan, we may miss possible options all together. When we let go of expectations, we are open to a realm of possible situations or outcomes that take us closer to our goal. Our intentions are built upon going with the flow, instead of steering the course.
For me, this has been a very productive and transitional year. I want to express my gratitude to all of you that have supported New Moon Manifesting, Mountain Meditations, beautiful full moon hikes and meditation overlooking Lake Tahoe, our Tuesday night class/meditation group, my many wonderful private clients, and to those of you who read this blog. This has been an amazing journey for me! As always my intent is to teach people to think outside the box, manage their emotions in a new way, and help them get the results they want. I’ve seen growth and progress in so many this year which makes it all worthwhile.
I also want to express my gratitude to my incredible family, Jason (husband), Shelby and Devan (our daughters). They are encouraging and supportive with every idea, project, and program, whether listening to new ideas or actually participating, they have been an instrumental part in my success. I love you all and appreciate your support!
I am so blessed!
What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving season?
New Moon in Scorpio

During this lunation is a time for dissolving old foundations, re-defining essentials, and creating new platforms of stability in your creativity and resourcefulness. The old foundations include all the ways we have learned to organize our perceptions and emotions.
This is a time to ask yourself:
“What fundamental beliefs and foundations am I willing to now let go of?”
“What are my essentials?”
“How can I tap into my creativity?”
“How can I be more resourceful?”
“What perceptions and emotions am I willing to release?”
By asking yourself these questions you will discover new options, learn what essentials are important and how to build a foundation based in simplicity and creativity. This is a highly creative time, so stretch your imagination and push the envelope beyond what you ever dreamed was possible!
Look at yourself for any self-defeating beliefs and behavior by exploring the realm of possibilities and asking yourself “what if” or “why not?” Honestly, what have you got to lose? Although your mind (ego) will lead you astray, your heart only knows truth. Dream big! Follow and trust your heart!
My favorite day 11.11.11 (2/9)
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Manifesting
We are approaching my favorite number “11″ day (November 11, 2009). In Numerology, the number 11 possesses the qualities of intuition, honesty, sensitivity, and spirituality. People who have a life path number of “eleven,” are looked to for their teachings and inspiration.
To determine your life path number take your birthday and add up all the digits. For example, if your birthday is January 17, 1964 add up 1 for January to 1+7 for the day, plus 1+9+6+4 for the year. The total will be 1+1+7+1+9+6+4=29. Then reduce it to a single number, so add 2+9=11. Any repeating numbers are Master Numbers such as 11, 22, 33, 44, and are not reduced to a single digit due to its special significance.
The number 11 denotes someone who is here for a greater spiritual purpose or who will be concerned with spiritual or theological pursuits. It shows the highest capacity for intuition and relating to the unseen.
Our angels and guides often times send us messages by prompting us to notice numbers such as 11:11 or 1:23 or other numbers that are significant to you. Take note of these moments, what you are doing or thinking? Your guides and angels may be letting you know that you’re moving in the right direction. If you are unsure of the message you can always ask them about its significance. What number patterns do you regularly see?

To prepare for the manifesting, write down a list of goals or intentions you want to attract or issues you want to release during the lunar cycle. After the cycle is over, review your old list crossing off goals achieved and file it, then begin a new list for the new cycle. To maintain balance in your life, look at goals on several different levels including financial, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physically.
