Wealth Tip: Celebrating Abundance
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting
Most people have hang ups about money. They would rather talk about anything other than money. One of the number one questions I’m asked is about money. People fear it.
When people focus on the fear and scarcity of money they cannot attract more of it – they actually repel it and stop the flow of more coming to them. Our body can only hold one vibration at a time. If the vibe held is that of scarcity only a little will flow in; if the vibe is “enough to get by” then that amount flows in; if the vibe is one of “abundace” then the flow is continuous. To get what you want, you have to project what you do want. Your thoughts and feelings have to align with the goal in order to get it.
A small shift in your vibration manifests big results. We want to retrain your brain and body for abundance.
1) Most people feel anxiety with the “word” money, so replace it with the words abundance or prosperity. With an emotional charge of anxiety or stress behind “money” plain and simple, you will not attract more.
2) Stop saying or writing affirmations that you discount with your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. If you say an affirmation such as “I am wealth” and the voice inside your head says, “Then why is my bank account empty,” then you’ve negated the higher frequencey vibe with a lower one of scarcity. The Universe doesn’t have a bank account, it supplies what we need when we need it.
3) Celebrate your abundance. Each time you “receive” abundance celebrate at that moment. You find a dime on the ground, celebrate at that moment with gratitude. You have to buy something, when you get to the store you find it on sale – celebrate it. You park your car and find money still on the meter – celebrate. Someone pays for something unexpectedly – express gratitude to the Universe for supporting you.
4) Gratitude – each time you pay your bills express gratitude instead of begruding the situation. We all have stuff we have to pay for – housing, utilities, food, clothes, cars, etc. You may spend every cent on your living expenses and have a choice to be gratful for the money to pay for them or begrudge the situation. Again, holding a higher vibe versus a lower one.
5) Abundance journal – Our left brain wants to “see” that we are abundant. If it isn’t showing in the bank, create a journal to “show” your brain you are abundant. Each time you have an abundant moment whether it’s a penny or something more write it down in a notebook/journal. Within a few days your brain will see how you’re attracting abundance to you. “See I am abundant, look at what I’ve received this week!”
The more frequently you hold the vibration of abundance the more you’ll draw to you. Like attracts like. You’ll be a money magnet! Remember you can only hold one vibration at a time. The more often you celebrate and acknowledge your abundance the more you’ll attract to you. Do you choose scarcity or abundance?

Health Tip: Meditation
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting, Transformation
Meditation isn’t only for Tibetan monks or spiritual gurus. Meditation is something everyone benefits from. We get so caught up in our busy lives and the busy voices in our head, we often forget or neglect to take time for ourselves to relax. Scientific study shows that calming the mind, soothing the emotions, relaxing the body, literally frees the soul. The mind, body, and environment benefit from daily meditation.
There are many benefits to quieting the mind. On a physical level, meditation helps release stress, reduces anxiety, and improves sleep patterns. It deceases to heart-rate and slows blood flow. It decreases muscle tension and headaches. Helps reduce chronic physical ailments, pre-menstrual symptoms, enhances post-operative healing, and enhances the immune system. It also boosts serotonin levels which influences our moods and behavior.
When you have a particular physical issue, as you begin meditation you can focus on energy being released from the area and infusing it with positive loving energy. This process can be done for yourself and others you want to help in their healing process. You can use affirmation such as “My body is healthy and strong,” “I have healed my physical body,” “My immune system is healthy.”
Meditation stimulates creativity and insight into solving problems. By setting the intention prior to meditation on providing new insight into resolving a specific problem, new information or alternative approaches to resolving it will come to light. It helps with the way we approach other people or enhances our approach to our work. You can add affirmations before your during your meditation such as “I easily resolve this problem,” or “I easily work with __________.”
Many people have learned the benefits of quieting the mind when used before a big meeting, sales presentation, interview, or audition. It provides focus and sets the intention of the desired result. Meditation is a powerful and simple way to improve the results in your life. Before an event you can slow your breathing and focus on the result you want by using affirmations such as “I present a powerful meeting,” “I confidently present my product/service and people purchase this from me,” “I perform beautifully,” or “I get the part.”
The focus of meditation is to slow down the breathing and the brain activity. By quieting the mind, closing the eyes, and removing distractions, we reduce stimulation that distracts us from getting the results we really want.

Beliefs
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting, Transformation
We humans are powerful because we have strong faith. Where is that faith vested? Our faith supports “our story” and what we believe about ourselves. This is why change cannot happen by “wishing” for it. Our beliefs are strong.
You may say, “I am successful… or healthy… or whatever.” But your belief is “I am not successful… or healthy…. or whatever.” The belief overrides your wish to become your desire. Until the belief is changed to be aligned with the wish, failure is inevitable.
Changing a belief is possible. You must challenge every belief that is used to judge yourself, reject yourself, and make yourself small. Whenever the voices in your head put you down, stop them! This breaks the chains that bind your progress, releases the limitations that hold you back from greater love, more success, peace, happiness, and joy!
You are worthy and deserve to receive everything you want. Squash the beliefs that are hindering your success.

Wise Tip: The Lies We Tell Ourselves
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting, Transformation
“Humans are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection. It’s just a story, but we believe it, and we use the story to judge ourselves, to punish ourselves, and to justify our mistakes.”
~ Don Miguel Ruiz
“The Voice of Knowledge”
Questions to Ponder:
What lies do you tell yourself?
If you stop believing in your story, how will your life change?

Solstice!
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting, Transformation
We spent a wonderful evening by the Truckee River in celebration of the Summer Solstice. The evening was graced by the beautiful voice of Emily Tessmer who sang and led us through a series of chants. Participants infused their intentions into roses, daisies, pinecones that were laid on an altar to be purified the group’s energy. Water was collected from the Truckee River and passed around the group to bless, heal, and honor the earth’s water supply.
We finished up the evening with a group meditation and Oneness Blessing given by Alaina Reichwald and Emily Tessmer. Once the blessings were complete we removed our items from the altar and released them and the blessed water into the Truckee River. Thank you to all who joined us in making this an extraordinary night!
Experience the summer solstice in Truckee, CA next year by joining us for a 3-day Solstice Retreat filled with sacred ceremonies and information to facilitate healing the physical and emotional bodies. We invite you to join us for this life-changing event.

Gifts and Guidance
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting, Transformation
“When we choose to remain calm under trying or frustating circumstances we are “training” our emotional bodies to become greater instruments to receive the gifts and guidance of Angels.”
Questions to Ponder:
Do I react in frustration?
Can I choose to respond calmly?

Summer Solstice Celebration
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting, Transformation
The sun will soon be reaching its apex in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21, 2010. It’s a time of celebration and honoring our sun and all the benefits it provides for us. It’s a time for expansion and growth by caring for ourselves and others instead of resisting changes.
Do something to honor the sun and yourself on the solstice. Coming together in ritual and community has been a longstanding tradition of many cultures. If you’re in or around the Lake Tahoe area on June 21st, join us for our Solstice Celebration at the lower BBQ area of Regional Park on Brockway Road at 7pm. Emily Tessmer will be performing her beautiful music followed by a river releasing ceremony and oneness blessing. For more information email me at info@janagroscost.com.
If you can’t join us in Tahoe, look for solstice events in your area or create your own. Honor yourself and our sun this solstice!

The Zone
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Tips, Manifesting, Transformation
Have you ever felt that place where your efforts were effortless? A place where the mind wanders and time seems to disappear. People often call this space The Zone; and it’s available to anyone at anytime. But for many tapping into it can be difficult because of the left brain’s endless chatter, lists, and desire to control, which trips us up and inhibits the right brain from simply flowing.
I’ve experience the zone in many different ways such as long distance running, hiking, biking, driving, and writing. It takes practice to learn to relax the left brain’s desire for control, but once that’s stopped, the right brain take over and everything flows effortlessly.
One way to reach the zone is through meditation. The intention during meditation is to quiet the mind and listen to the creative possibilities that get drowned out by the left brain trying to calculate, analyze and figure out every move. During meditation the brain waves are slowed down to a theta brainwave state, which is the place the brain reaches right before we fall asleep. By learning to consciously access the Theta Zone, we train our brain to reach that state more easily in everything we do.
Some of the ways The Theta Zone can be used include:
~ relieving stress, anxiety, and tension
~ receiving solutions or insight into resolving problems
~ relaxing the body
~ slowing down the heart rate and reducing blood pressure
~ releasing and resolving emotional distress
With all the stresses placed on us as adults, everyone would greatly benefit from daily meditation. But I’ve also learned the benefits from working with younger people. As a mother of two teenage daughters, I’ve taught them to use meditation before ballgames, tests, and other times they feel stressed. As a result they claim to have less testing anxiety, less reactive to situations, and overall feel more peaceful. I’ve even had several of my kids friends ask to join our meditations.
What a great tool to use during the many transitions kids face while growing up! I wish I had a clue about meditation when I was a teenager. But I can offer it today to anyone interested in joining us. We will be holding meditation for the next four Wednesdays, May 19th, 26th, June 2nd, 9th, at 7pm PST (8pm MST, 9pm Central) to help with testing anxiety, sports visualization, improving focus and concentration, relaxation, and emotional distress.
During the next four weeks this FREE meditation service will be available by calling 805.360.1000 access code 403871#. The live call will last about 30-40 minutes. Please let anyone you know who needs a little stress release to join us! What a perfect way to finish up the school year and prepare for finals. And, parents, you too are invited to join us!
You can also register at www.JanaGroscost.com/events and we’ll send you a reminder email a couple of days prior to the next meditation and let you know of other upcoming kids events.

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.
