The Leading Edge requires vision and positive expectation, but it is really where the most powerful exhilaration is. To be in a state of desire and to have no doubt is the most satisfying experience possible, but to want something and not believe in your ability to achieve it does not feel good. When you think only of what you desire, without constant contradictions that are filled with doubt or disbelief, the Universal response to your desire comes quickly, and in time you begin to feel the power of your deliberate thought. But that kind of "pure" thought takes practice, and it requires that you spend less time observing what-is, and more time visualizing what you would like to experience. In order to tell the new-and-improved story about your physical experience, you must spend time thinking and speaking about the experience you would like to live. The most powerful thing you can do -- the thing that will give you much greater leverage than any action -- is to spend time every day visualizing your life as you want it to be. We encourage that you go to a quiet and private environment for 15 minutes every day where you can close your eyes and imagine your body, your environment, your relationships, and your life in ways that please you. What has been has nothing to do with what will be, and what others experience has nothing to do with your experience...but you must find a way to separate yourself from all of that -- from the past and from the others -- in order to be what you want to be. Money, and the Law of Attraction, p. 154
Welcome to the 2nd of 5 Soul Aligned Business Collaborative Toolkits. Intuitive guidance is available to all of us 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Receiving guidance does not make us higher or better – but it does make navigating our lives much easier and more enjoyable.
We can exponentially expand the value of our “intelligence” by being open to “unknown” and deliberately drawing it into our awareness. As we bring Divine Inspiration down into the world of form we heal the split between our spiritual and earthly perspectives. We literally become something new as we allow the alignment process to percolate within us. The natural process leads to evolution. “When you choose consciously to move toward the energy of your soul you invite that guidance. When you ask the Universe to bless you in your effort to align yourself with your soul, you open a passageway between yourself and your guides and Teachers. You assist their efforts to assist you. You invoke the power of the nonphysical world. That is what a blessing is: the opening of a passageway between you and non-physical guidance.” - Gary Zukav 1. Hold wisdom in a Sacred Container 2. Commit to Being a channel 3. Follow up on your Soul commitment to draw wisdom to yourself and to then channel this wisdom into the world

Do you recognize any of these dysfunctional patterns? •
Being afraid to take something on because of a sense of personal limitation?
•
Feeling limited by “your” current knowledge?
•
Knowing what you need to do but not taking action to move ahead (becoming paralyzed due to fear or anxiety)?
•
Thinking you need to follow/copy others because you don’t have a strong enough personal perspective?
•
Thinking you need to know every step from “here” to “there” instead of trusting that you’ll be given what you need when you need it? (Don’t see it all – that’s okay – you are not meant to. It should be like following the directions giving from an automobile navigational device when you are given only one step at a time.)

SABC Toolkit: Asking – Energy Votex Class Notes questions determine our thoughts Law of attraction and state dependent memory. According to Tony Robbins: “Thinking itself is nothing but a process of asking and answering questions…” “If we want to change the quality of our lives, we should change our habitual questions.” “Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.” “Questions set off a processional effect that has impact beyond our imagination. Questioning our limitations is what tears down the walls in life – in business, in relationships, between countries. I believe all human progress is preceded by new questions.” Break the “personality” pattern by asking elevating, expansive questions. Three states of mind Unresourceful Æ resourceful Æ supraresourceful (tapped in to Spirit) Who are you asking?

SABC Toolkit: Asking – Energy Votex Class Notes tuning in for guidance A. Before asking for guidance, raise your vibrational frequency: Activities to increase your frequency: What works best for you? Conscious breathing Meditation Journaling High vibrational books/tapes Chanting Gratitude journal Exercise/dancing Getting out in nature Imagery to get in emotional of unconditional love B. Asking Spirit/Inner Guidance/ Higher Self cannot bring you the answer to a question that you haven't asked. Consider beginning your day by asking one of the following questions to open a more focused channel for 2-way communication. What Do I Want? What Do I Need? What Do I need to Let Go of? What Do I Need to Know? What Do I Need To Do? (Inspired Action) How Can I Bring Myself into Greater Alignment? C. Expecting responses Be on the lookout for the answers. Surrender to the process. Sample affirmation: I have all the clarity I need in this moment.

Step 1. Decide to deliberately focus on something that you are wanting Step 2. Focus on what you want using all 5 of your senses Step 3.

SABC Toolkit: Asking – Energy Vortex Tools 100 things I want to be, or do, or have One of the most significant steps of the “Prosperity from the Inside-Out” process involves turning our attention away from the “reality” of our lives, so that we may come into greater alignment with the energy of what we most want. As the Law of Attraction reminds us, the more we focus upon what want, the stronger our “attraction vacuum” will become, drawing to us the things, people, opportunities and events that are most in harmony with our desires. Towards this end, why not try this powerful process to get your attraction juices flowing by compiling a list of 100 things that you most want to be, do and have. Exercise: 100 Things I Want to Be or Do or Have Begin to imagine what it would be like to have unlimited resources to attract to you the things, people, opportunities and events that would most delight you. Let your imagination run wild. Note: You may be surprised to find that coming up with a list of 100 is more challenging than it looks! To make it even more fun, imagine that you have 20 million dollars to spend on these things - but only 10 years to live.

SABC Toolkit: Asking – Energy Vortex Tools creation box Creation Box - an Abraham process http://www.abraham-hicks.com Process: Get a box - any kind of box will do. I prefer a pretty box approximately 10 x 12 x 5. This is the place where you put symbols (pictures, clippings, doodles) of things that you want to have show up in your life. You put the symbols in and then you let it all go! Be easy as you can about this. There is no "wrong" but the most powerful energy is simply a sense of pleasure when you look at the pictures. Delight, appreciation, enjoyment, smiles. Your approach might be: I am simply collecting examples of things that I love, things that it gives me pleasure to think about and things that, were they to show up in my life experience, would cause me to say "yippee!"

SABC Toolkit: Asking – Energy Vortex Tools book of positive aspects Your Book of Positive Aspects http://www.abraham-hicks.com You are upon the brink of magnificent, deliberate creating. You have been the creators of your experience from the day that you emerged into this body. Now you will be the deliberate creators of your experience. Trust that which comes forth from within you. If you will buy a new notebook, and call it your Book of Positive Aspects, and spend 10 minutes each day writing positive aspects about your home, your body, your work, your relationships...If you will wake up every morning acknowledging that you have re-emerged into the physical and that today you will look for reasons to feel good...And if you will pay attention to the way you are feeling, and utilize the process of pivoting [we will cover pivoting in detail in Daily Inspired Actions]...it is our absolute promise to you, that -- within 30 days -- you will see such a dramatic turn of events in your life experience, that you will not believe you are the same person." When you are appreciating someone, and they are unable to uplift themselves to the level of your vibration, they vibrate right out of your experience. Most people you love will be uplifted by your appreciation to a new level of appreciation and connectedness for themselves. Suggestion topics to write Positive Aspects: 1) Situations (People, Experiences, Opportunities) that are going well for you (the better it gets, the better it gets!!!!) 2) Situations (People, Experiences, Opportunities) that you want to show up for you in a new, bigger way. Send out positive, expectant energy in advance around all related topics – for example, if you are wanting to attract more money, positive aspect the experiences of abundance that you have right now. If you are wanting to attract a new romantic partner, positive aspect all of the wonderful partners you have had in the past (only their positive qualities), positive aspect the people in your life right now (love surrounds you!!!) and find positive aspects of all the new people you meet. This will create a vacuum that the Universe will have to fill. 3) Situations (People, Experiences, Opportunities) that are NOT going well for you so that you can turn the tides and begin the creation in a positive direction.
