Manifesting Through Self-Love
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
We are more than half way through what I call “the year of manifesting.” The time between 10.10.10 (Oct 10, 2010) and 11.11.11 (Nov 11, 2011) is a magical time to create the life we want. The question is, “Are you manifesting consciously or unconsciously?”
If you’re still manifesting undesirable results then now is a great time to look within. Of course it’s difficult to take responsibility for our results it’s so much easier to blame others for what’s going on with us. But that keeps us locked into the victim mentality. If you want to manifest more, then it’s time to love yourself and heal your emotional wounding.
Keeping yourself in the victim role stops the creative process. Where do you still see yourself as the victim? How does it serve you to hold onto this pattern? Do you get sympathy or support? Will you let it go?
Our manifesting is dependent upon our ability to transform existing emotions into what we want. For example, if you feel devastated, depressed, or angry because your plans seem to always fall apart with others, can you respond differently without wallowing in your emotions?
Most children are inadequately taught how to manage their emotions. Inside of you, that child is still looking for validation or understanding of what to do with this emotional stuff. Now as an adult it’s time to take care of all the emotions that have been denied or suppressed.
Every emotion moves through us like a wave. Each one has a vibrational frequency. In the book, Power versus Force, David Hawkins examines emotions and has determined their vibrational frequency. For example, regret (grief) vibrates at a rate of 75, anxiety (fear) vibrates at 100, trust (neutral) vibrates at 250, serenity (joy) vibrates at 540, bliss (peace) vibrates at 600 and enlightenment vibrates between 700-1,000.
Shifting your vibrational frequency is the foundation of changing your results of manifesting; emotions fuel manifesting! The consistency of our personal vibrational frequency affects our outcome. For example, when a person’s emotions vacillate between despair and optimism, that person will attract the vibration it feels most often. Think of a yo-yo. When the yo-yo is at the bottom of the string (despair) it takes more energy to move up the string. The spinning motion of the yo-yo provides the momentum to glide up. If the yo-yo slows down or stops spinning its ability to move up the string is affected.
When a person holds onto lower vibrating emotions the momentum to move up the vibrational ladder diminishes. When a person use affirmations and positive thoughts to shift inner negativity their emotional vibration shifts. This in turn causes a person to attract more of what they want.
One of the most powerful transformations we can work on is self-love. The more often the voice inside your head praises you the more likely you are to create what you want. You are the apple of your Creator’s eye, who desires everything you desire for yourself. It’s learning to overcome our humanness of doubt and fear to create what we want.
Shift negative inner thoughts by using the following affirmations:
“I love and honor myself”
“I am successful”
“I am an extension of my Creator”
“I am worthy to receive”
“I am good at ______”
“I am respected”
The more often your inner dialogue focuses on your positive aspects the more likely you are to be successful! For the next two weeks practice self-love and see how your manifesting improves.

Summer Solstice 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
The Summer Solstice arrives in the Northern hemisphere on Tuesday June 21, 2011 at 1:17 EDT (10:17 PDT). Summer is the time to fully embody whatever intentions you set during the spring equinox. It’s a time to relax in the flow and fully embrace the ride you’re on.
For many this may be difficult with so many distractions and fears cropping up. The underworld, our shadow side, is begging for us to look at unresolved issues, doubts, and fears so that we can finally break free from their grip. The three eclipses between June 1st and July 1st are stirring the pot and bringing to light those issues that still need our attention.
During this intense time take note of things that are popping up. With this intense time of acceleration and bombardment of emotions chaos is breaking out around us and within us. But out of chaos comes change. The Universe is reorganizing and we are subject to its processes.
What’s important is looking at how you live your life. It’s not about assessing what you have or where you are in your life. Let go of your expectations and look at who you love and are connected to. Our human connections as well as our connections to the Divine and Gaia are our highest priority.
Honor yourself, the sun, and the earth through celebration, gratitude, and visualization. This time is ripe to explore the inspiration that is flowing through you. Let go of the past way of life and embrace something different that is aligned with your passion and brings you joy!
If you’re in or around the North Lake Tahoe area, join us for an enchanting Summer Solstice Celebration on Tuesday June 21, 2011 in Truckee, CA. We’ll be meeting in the lower BBQ area of the Truckee Regional Park by the Truckee River from 7-9pm where we’ll hold a sacred ceremony and meditation honoring the sun, the earth, and ourselves. Emily Tessmer and Ziva will be proving inspiring chanting for the group followed by Oneness Blessings. Contact our office for more information or directions.
Unable to join us this year? Look for Solstice Celebrations in your area and participate in the power of a group event or create your own! Plan on joining us next year and enjoy the Summer Solstice!

Intensity Builds with the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Full Moon, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
On Wednesday June 15, 2011 at 4:14pm EDT (1:14pm PDT) we the experience the power and grace of the full moon. The moon reflects our underlying emotions and brings them to light, thus magnifying those that need to be resolved and healed. This full moon will be even more intense with the accompanying complete lunar eclipse.
This full moon in the Sagittarius-Gemini axis brings up issues related to the mind, awareness, and judgment. The full moon in Sagittarius brings up aspects of “higher consciousness” such as using our intuitive abilities, innate responses, and expansion into seeing the bigger picture, while the polarity of Gemini focuses on the “lower mind” and brings up a more rational approach. Ultimately a balance between the two is ideal.
This eclipse and full moon is about communication, a sense of adventure (Sagittarius), resolving emotional wounding, and letting go of old beliefs and prejudices. By cleaning out your emotional closet and letting go of the past, you’ll create space for the new adventure that has been building for the past several weeks. Be open to the realm of possibilities over the next several weeks and see what unfolds for you.
Some sort of crisis could shake things up causing you to break out of the old paradigm and bringing new awareness to a situation. Instead of getting caught in victim mode, look at it as a blessing that frees you from the chains that have held you back.
Emotions will be intensified over the next several of days (before and after the full moon) so watch yourself and instead of getting caught up in them take a step back and observe what going on. Keep yourself grounded through meditation, connecting deeply with the center of the earth, or spending time in nature.
The universe is awakening us to a new way of living and moments such as these are the catalyst for great changes within us. Be open and aware of the energy over the next several days and adjust your responses to allow yourself to fully benefit from what it being brought up for you.
Manifest your desires and dreams during the full moon/lunar eclipse by resolving what the moon is reflecting back to you! Let go of your fears and trust the Universe is providing the best possibilities for your healing and evolution. Use the energy of this full moon/lunar eclipse to shift your awareness and open up to new adventures.

Who’s Pushing My Buttons?!
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
Why is it some people create an intense emotional reaction within you? They seem to know just what buttons to push to get you going. Like it or not, the people triggering these intense emotions are your greatest teachers helping you heal and evolve.
We are living in a time of intensely shifting energies. As we approach the Summer Solstice and accompanying solar eclipse our shadow side is more exposed bringing tremendous opportunities for healing, growth, and living a more empowered life. The Universe is encouraging and supporting us as we transition into our highest divine expression.
Whatever is coming up for you are areas that need your attention. Perhaps there are strong emotions coming up around perceived injustices – areas where you’ve felt discrimination, wronged, unfairness, or prejudices. Whatever is coming up for you is the Universe saying, “Yes, now is the time to resolve this for good!” “You have the resources and strength to do this and you’re assisted each step of the way!”
Our shadow side is reflected back to us through others. They are a mirror image of what still needs to be healed within us. For example, what upsets you about a particular person – a boss, parent, or spouse? Are they too controlling? Then ask yourself, “Where am I too controlling?”
People pushing your buttons are reminding you what areas of yourself still need healing. We are being shaken to the core to release misperceptions and anything unaligned with truth, so we stand in our power.
You can work proactively with these messages or deny them. I’ve learned that when the Universe gives me nudge to heal something I better pay attention. When I’ve denied the opportunity it has come back in a more intense and unpleasant form! Begin by paying attention to repeating patterns. If you’re getting the same message from different people, there’s something to be healed.
Healing emotional wounds isn’t difficult. However, it does take a conscious effort on your part. Here are four simple steps to removing unwanted buttons:
1) Identify what is being triggered within you, beyond frustration or anger. What are you feeling?
2) Ask yourself, “Where am I creating the same thing for others?”
3) Say the following Ho’oponopono statement: If I or my ancestors have created the feeling of _________ in this or any other lifetime, please forgive me. I ask that these emotions are released from myself and this Earthly plane by sending them to my Creator; and my Creator replaces them with unconditional love and light.
4) Express gratitude each time your emotions are triggered. It’s the Universe helping you clean out your emotional closet.
If you’re having difficulty letting go of something or forgiving someone please click here to contact our office for more information or a private session. Also, Neale Donald Walsh has a great children’s book out called Little Soul in the Sun. It’s a great resource in helping us understand the people who are our greatest teachers.

New Moon in Gemini Affirmations
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
With the New Moon in Gemini it’s a prime time to capitalize on characteristics it brings – communication! It’s a time to speak your truth, gather information, and network with others to build your resources. Be open to new ideas that help you expand your goals.
With so much information thrown at you, keep yourself grounded and ask your Creator for guidance to assist you in filtering what information will assist you for your highest good. It’s easy to get caught analyzing all the information, so keep yourself grounded through meditation or taking a walk in nature and you’ll see what benefits you and what you can let go of.
Here are some affirmations to assist with your manifesting:
I welcome new ideas and concepts
I freely speak up for myself
I am open to receive the information and guidance to help me
I recognize resources that assist me on my journey
I effectively communicate my feelings and ideas
I speak with compassion and truth
I express my ideas freely and easily
I easily release the past resentments and emotions
Miracles happen every day in my life!

Forgiveness Benefits Your Health
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
Nearly everyone has been hurt by the words or actions of others. These wounds can leave you feeling angry, bitter, or vengeful. But, holding onto these emotions only harms yourself, instead of the person who hurt you.
The most emotionally beneficial act you can do for yourself is forgiving others who have hurt you. Forgiveness benefits the body as well as the soul! It is something we do for ourselves since we are the one holding the emotional grudge.
Our emotional wounding keeps us tied to the past and inhibits our emotional progress. Our vibrational levels remain stuck in the anger/resentment when we hold onto grudges. Since like attracts like, we actually attract more opportunities to feel angry.
When we release the emotional wounding we raise our vibrational frequency, but there are also added benefits received from the forgiveness process. The physical body benefits also because forgiveness can lower blood pressure and heart rate, it reduces levels of depression, anxiety, anger, chronic pain, and substance abuse.
Forgiveness can be a tricky issue. You may feel that you’re giving up something. Essentially you are, you’re giving up the resentment and thoughts of revenge. It doesn’t mean you forget the event, just release the emotional wounding tied to it.
Forgiveness is a decision that helps you move away from remaining a victim. Once you can let go of appraising your life by your emotional wounding you’ll no longer be tied to the stories that stop you from emotional evolving. You also take back your personal power instead of giving it away to the one(s) who hurt you.
When you forgive your perspective changes and you respond differently. You may become more compassionate and understanding, and be an example to other’s learning to forgive. Forgiveness is a commitment to change the past and create a different future.
Forgiveness benefits your physical health, your soul, and what you attract.

Full Moon in Scorpio 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
The full moon is in Scorpio on May 17, 2011 at 7:08am EDT (4:08am PDT). Since the new moon we have been influenced by the passion and excitement of Scorpio until it peaks with the full moon on Tuesday.
The moon rules our emotions, and the full moon brings them to the surface for us to evaluate. It’s a time to explore fears and hidden emotions that are buried deep. It’s a time we can tune into the depths of our desires and get a glimpse of underlying emotions that are stopping us from manifesting what we want.
The intensity of Scorpio coupled with the easy going sun in Taurus causes a stark contrast during the full moon. Instead of charging forward you may be re-evaluating your goals, seeking balance.
Taurus’ energy deals with personal values, the material world, and security while Scorpio rules transformation, change, and destruction. The foundation you thought was secure may be shaking at this time as false beliefs and values are being destroyed bringing in purity, truth, and deepening our human experience.
For many the full moon may drudge up intense fears and anxiety as one may feel out of control. The human condition has adapted to being in control. It takes work/practice to shift the ego’s desire to control everything and leap forward in faith knowing a higher power is assisting you.
When you notice fearful thoughts use affirmations to transmute the lower vibration of fear into the higher vibration of faith. Your higher consciousness is here to assist you in every step.
Affirmations:
My higher self supplies all of my needs and desires.
I easily let go of control and go with the flow.
Manifesting what we want is a co-creative process between ourselves and our higher-consciousness. Resolve emotions and situations that are coming up for you so you step into your true divinity and manifest everything you desire. The full moon in Scorpio helps you see the more important areas that still need to be resolved!

Healing Your Grief
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
Grieving blocks manifesting. Grieving the death of a loved one is natural and necessary, but this isn’t the type of grief I’m referring to. The type of grief that stops manifesting has to do with your expectations or your perceptions of other people’s expectations.
Many people are unaware they are sad or grieving what they believe should have been, or could have happened had they made different choices. In hindsight it’s easy to say, “I should have done _______, then this wouldn’t have happened, or I would be here in my life.”
When we grieve over what we expect should have or could have happened, we miss seeing any blessings, lessons learned, people connected with, or changes in consciousness.
What areas of your life can you let go of the “would have’s and should have’s” and embrace the decisions you’ve made without grieving other possible outcomes? Would those other choices been any better?
The secret to manifesting is attraction! We attract to us whatever is vibrating at the same rate we are. The process is simple, but human emotion complicates it.
Emotions vibrate at a host of different rates. Lower vibrating emotions such as sadness, grief, or fear stop us from attracting what we want.
Here are a couple of suggestions to get you out of grieving:
1) Grieving – write down choices you’ve made that you keep wallowing in the past
2) Observe – stop judging situations as being good or bad, and observe what you’ve learned through the experience or choice
3) Gratitude – keep a gratitude journal relative your choices so you understand lessons you’ve learned, people you’ve met, consciousness you’ve shifted and emotions that still need to be resolved
Every choice we make leads us on a path. Some steps may feel wrong or uncomfortable, but there are lessons to learn or people we meet that impact our lives. As long as we look at each experience as an opportunity for growth, we continue to move forward. When we get caught in the sadness of a situation or choice (or other people’s perceptions of what’s best for us) we get stuck, maintain a lower vibration, and block manifesting.
Affirmation: I am divinely guided and every step I take is the right step for me.
You are a divine being with the great capacity to consciously create your world! You are probably unaware of how powerful you really are. Take time to resolve your grief so you tap into your unlimited abundance!

New Moon in Taurus 2011
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Inner Alchemy, Jana Matthews, Manifesting, New Moon Manifesting, Self Healing, Transformation
A new lunar cycle begins on Tuesday, May 3, 2011 at 2:51 am ET (11:51pm PT May 2). As the new moon moves into Taurus you’ll want to integrate your goals with the Taurus characteristics in mind.
As you set your goals this lunar cycle, use the key elements of the Taurus energy to get what you want by focusing on growth, stability, development, sustaining, and creating security in the material world. On the darker side, the Taurus energy can take on the form of being overbearing, territorial, and stubborn, so watch what is coming up for you and adjust accordingly.
We’ve just left the pushy, impatient, and assertive energy of Aries. And as we step into Taurus, focus on the simplicity of being grounded, getting results, and planning for the future.
In honor of the new moon we will hold a FREE conference call and meditation on Monday, May 2, 2011 at 9pm EDT (6pm PDT) to assist you in your goals. To join us register here for conference call access information.
Have a blessed month manifesting your dreams with the new moon in Taurus!

Law of Detachment
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Ascension, Inner Alchemy, Manifesting, Money Tips, Self Healing, Transformation, Transmutation
Our lives are governed by universal spiritual laws. Learning to live within their parameters helps our lives run more smoothly and helps us get what we want. The Law of Detachment is necessary to understand and integrate into the manifesting process.
The Law of Detachment says that in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it. This doesn’t mean you give up your intention to create what you want or the desire for it. It means that you give up your attachment to the outcome.
When you’re attached to a particular outcome, the attachment is based in fear and insecurity. The ego is present when we are attached to a particular outcome. It wants to know how everything is going to work out, where everything is coming from, and basically controls the outcome.
True manifesting comes from stopping the ego’s desire to control the process or outcome, and turning the process over to your higher-self without giving direction or maintaining control. The source of wealth, abundance, or anything else in the physical world comes through us from our higher-consciousness. And our higher-consciousness knows how to fill all of our needs.
Too often status symbols or stuff is a substitute to connecting with our higher-self. Status symbols are used to fill emotional voids or wounds, feel better about ourselves, or feel better than other people, but in the end there is hollowness inside that having more stuff never satisfies.
Chasing status symbols is the ego’s way of providing security. But in the end, the ego’s idea of security is an illusion. When caught in the ego’s grasp, we are prisoners of a mediocre existence, helplessness, hopelessness, desperation, and poverty consciousness.
True security comes when we learn to stop the ego’s intervention in the process and remind ourselves that our higher-consciousness works through us.
When we learn to let go (detach) from stuff or perceived outcomes we shift our consciousness. Most often the need for the symbols disappears also. Instead of chasing after what we want, it appears when it’s needed.
When we learn to embrace uncertainty without fear, manifesting becomes easy. Uncertainty is a wisdom; a knowingness that everything is provided when you need it. Uncertainty is freedom. It means you’re stepping into the unknown in every moment.
As you set your goals, set intentions and detach from the outcome. You open yourself up to the realm of possibilities instead of the limitations of your past experiences. Your results will probably be better than you ever imagined!

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.
