I’ve Been Featured in Law of Attraction Magazine!

Published January 16, 2013 | By Shelley Hawkins

loa_soulatwork200 As an evolutionary entrepreneur or professional, you know that growing yourself—the inner landscape of your business—influences your business decisions. The alignment you develop within yourself influences the way you relate to clients, staff, money, and the whole of your business.

Would you like to have a connection with the outer and inner focus of what you’re here for that moves with you–even if you changed businesses tomorrow? Would you like to connect with an organic alignment, unique to you and deeper than your mission or purpose, as a plumb line for all your decisions that flourishes you and the outer elements of your business?

My recently published article, “Your Soul at Work”, in the Law of Attraction Magazine, touches on some of the work I do with clients in discovering what they are really in the business of and their soul’s unique impulse for having them in business. You’ll find the magazine at Barnes & Noble, Target, Costco, Walmart and more.

‘Your Soul at Work: Once you discover and live from your soul’s unique impulse, your work–and all areas of your life—will become more connected, directed, meaningful, synergistic and fulfilling.’ By Shelley Hawkins, MS

Have you ever felt inner resistance standing between you and your desire, your business, a next step, a relationship, or your mission? Of course you have. You’re human…(to read more, find the magazine at your local outlet).

In addition:

What to Do with What Your Business is Reflecting Back to You

Published July 19, 2012 | By Shelley Hawkins

Filters, barriers, obstacles, walls, problems. Whatever you call them, they are the lenses we look through for what has materialized and what has yet to materialize in our lives.

I recently spoke with a business owner who is frustrated that her staff is people, which for the most part, don’t even consider that their lives could be different, what their potential is as individuals, or how who they become contributes to the lives of the people they serve through the company.

How does she translate her vision to people who walk through their lives without the curiosity to ask of life, what if “this” was possible? How could I…? What if I could change…? I want to create… What if I’m capable of…? How would that contribute to…?

This same scenario could be overlayed to relationships or other areas of our lives. Either way, the pattern – and the solution – are the same.

Inner barriers, filters, obstacles. The world reflects back how we are being, giving us the opportunity to close the gap between what we’re experiencing and what we want to experience, if we wish.

The business owner wants to see her staff flourish in their potential and her company and the clients they serve flourish as well. What she opens in herself, will open that door.

To close the gap between you and your vision is the heart of your evolution. The inner barrier is the problem AND the solution wrapped together. To liberate the energy it holds within you is to open yourself to a bigger version of you that will evolve you…and your business, and your relationships, and…you name it.

One of my clients had visions for her business for 20 years that she had not been able to materialize. When we transformed the energy of the filters and obstacles she was looking through, her business changed. The pieces of her vision started falling into place easily. Now she lives in that vision and her next frontier is formulating.

Changing the filters another client had been creating from meant she was able to quit her second job to make room in her life for the love and life partnership she manifested.

Liberating the energy of the filters you are looking through is to literally transform the neural connections that keep you creating in the same groove day after day.

When you use what is looking back at you from the outside world as a catalyst of for changing the filters within that you’ve been looking through, the world, your business, the relationship field you operate in will reflect back to you accordingly. It is the quantum of creation.

“It takes as little as one percent of a population to create positive change, and I believe that if 100 million people underwent a personal transformation in the direction of peace, harmony, laughter, love, kindness, and joy, the world would be transformed.”

~Deepak Chopra

How Intention Changes You—And Your Business

Published July 5, 2012 | By Shelley Hawkins

“What was said to the rose to make it open, was said to me, here in my chest.”
~Rumi

I wonder what it would feel like to be eye to eye with a wishie? You know, the puff ball left behind when a dandelion goes to seed? There is a tradition of blowing these seeds into the wind with a silent wish, whoooo. Hence, the technical term “wishie.”

I watched with curiosity one morning while a quail stood eye to eye with one of these perfect orbs. Pecking it for food, he took what he wanted sending the rest of the seedlings into the air, no doubt to my neighbor’s consternation. At this level would I feel small? Or would my world seem even more expansive?

Last week a client was celebrating the power of intention and energy transformation. One moment she called her Love to celebrate what had just happened in our coaching call and the immense freedom she felt.

Literally 45 minutes later she called him back to say she was fired from her job—and still celebrating.

Why? She saw the direct correlation between getting fired, what she had just unleashed in herself in our call, and the intentions she designed for her new work—a perfect manifestation with more to come. When we design our intentions, we really have no idea how they will be created or the infinite combination of details that will come together.

Like the quail, we can stand eye to eye with what we know without any idea of where the seeds of our intentions may land. What we do know is that when we truly set ourselves free internally, energetically, our intentions will manifest in ways beyond our visions, to move us out of who we thought ourselves to be into our next greatest version—soul potential.

Another client asked, so what is the percentage of responsibility I have with Infinite Intelligence, this quantum field, in manifesting my intentions? Is it 50/50, 60/40, what? It is more like 90/10 or even 99/1, while really being 100/100. We give our all, yet it is cradled in the most powerful act of all, surrender, detachment. What we “do” is such an infinitesimally small percentage of what takes place to materialize a dream.

Intention is more than a goal. In its best form, it is taking responsibility for your life at such a deep level to be on the leading edge of co-creativity with this cosmos of energy. By aligning yourself with it in all things energy—thought, feeling, freeing yourself of past conditioning or other inner obstacles, you breathe life into new form.

“What propels us forward is the amplitude of our intentions being stronger than the reality of the physical world…
(~ Dr. Joe Dispenza)

…we are currently immersed in—from the way we see ourselves to the environment we live in each day. If we want change, we must organize ourselves around our intentions so our world can rearrange itself within and around us.

Applied to your business, your profession, your intimate and professional relationships, and everyday happenings, what do you feel compelled to change? What do you want to manifest? What is holding you back? You are standing eye to eye with the wishie. What are you sending out with your intentions?

It is Now Safe To Be Happy-er

Published June 6, 2012 | By Shelley Hawkins

What comes to mind when you think of happiness? What level do you experience right now? Does it pervade your life? How deep does it go? Is it easily disturbed? What makes you unhappy? Or where d you limit its presence in your life? No matter how self-aware you are, ironically increasing levels of happiness can feel like a threat to the security of familiarity, perceived control, how much you are willing to receive,, and old ways of growing, struggling and making decisions.

If we’re honest, happiness scares us. Not the basic happiness that rolls off the tongue without thinking, but the happiness we intentionally engage that keeps growing, going deeper and higher beyond our imagination with intentional and evolutionary choices, and quantum internal transformation. We can see ourselves in the life we desire to create, yet something keeps us in the realm of fantasy until we create the internal bridges to letting it get “that good.”

When we consistently say “yes” to our own thriving, it changes the criteria we live and decide our life by. Just imagine how it would change your relationships with your employees, your kids, with money, the new friends you desire, your health, and your business, if you were dedicated to your own thriving—regardless of the level of happiness you experience now. Are you willing to open yourself to more? This is your evolution.

No matter how self-aware we become, we can find ourselves reluctant to experience more happiness. It feels further to “fall,” as my clients have put it. We wonder if it can really be this good, or if we deserve it as we explore our next potential. We watch for the catch, wonder what we must release of ourselves this time, look for the control button, and wonder if we can trust ourselves with that much goodness. Are you smiling with familiarity at this point?

It is easy to say, “you must choose to be happy.” And though it’s basically true, the choice is more than a positive outlook. It will change your life deeply and completely—if you really mean it. Deep and authentic happiness is a coherence we cultivate between our thought, feeling and actions—past, present and future–transforming energetic patterns that hold us in disconnection to patterns that connect us with ourselves and the force of Life.

Most of us have heard and internalized ideas like not getting too excited because we might be disappointed, or being careful not to stick our necks out, get our hopes up, expect “too much”; or fear of being undercut somehow as if happiness sets us up for a great fall, or to maintain a somberness to prevent ourselves from relearning painful lessons from our personal histories.

Authentic happiness, however, is grounding. It is trusting ourselves with the power of our own lives. It is having your feet rooted and planted firmly on the earth with heaven in every cell. It is claiming your full power as a conscious human being to intend, create and be in command of your life while living in the detachment that all is well.

Happiness is an essential quality for unfolding your destiny. To cultivate it is to walk yourself out of old identities and ways of being and into new identities, higher potentials and ways of being yourself that are likely to be out of your current imagination. If you are stuck, on a plateau, or in a swirl of turmoil that has you mystified, you are pressing up against an old identity. Our visions set potentials, possibilities and new probabilities in motion and they are always—always—more than we could imagine them to be.

Lastly, happiness is unpredictable, part of living in your soul potential. From “this” side of happiness or a sticking point in life, the outcome of your transformation looks like it will go one way—often a black or white idea. But that is looking through the filter of your current identity, your current perspective, and the choices you are currently making that will give you more of what you have.

Your lenses will continue to clear and change as you dare to energetically dissolve the filters back into the quantum field opening to your next potential and version of yourself. This kind of happiness fills your choices with a new kind of wisdom, plugging your security into the unseen and taking you beyond the predictable path of your current choices. It is now safe to be happy-er.

Your Needs & Wants are Vital to Your Potential

Published May 18, 2012 | By Shelley Hawkins

The soul of all existence is to grow and thrive.

If our definition of what we need is hanging out at neutral, or even at a basic functioning or survival level, while our creative impulse or hunger for life is to thrive, we’ll experience a constant conflict with ourselves.

If we start the question of what we need on whether it is necessary in our lives, we will come to one level of answer, that will most likely be a lateral improvement. If we start with a vision of what we want to create, experience and be in our lives, and look at need in that framework, we will come to a very different answer.

From there our needs are driven by an internal impulse toward our potential. It helps us to see the world as not so much divided between the material and unseen, but from a vibrational perspective the way our soul sees it.

Every invention required someone to want or need a different, more effective way of getting something done, and experiencing life. The discovery of new worlds, whether a next door neighbor or across oceans, required the desire for exploration, something outside what is necessary to function.

We are inherently creative. What happens when that is shut down in the name of not being necessary? Individual taste aside, we could live without the music of Bach or Bonnie Raitt, but would we want to? In their purest form, wants and needs come from an internal impulse to create, to be ourselves, to belong, and to contribute with meaning.

Our deepest needs and desires must be fulfilled to become fully ourselves. A glass half full cannot overflow into other glasses. So our relationship to and our responsibility with our needs and desires is essential to the experience of our soul potential—potential drawn from who you are and who you become.

Our needs and wants are directly related to the vastness we perceive internally and externally. By learning to relate to goodness as infinite, we learn to dwell there and create more of it. It builds self-trust with our needs and wants and that they will not lead to a fest of narcissism, but the expansion of ourselves and the good we contribute to the world through who we are and what we do.
