Secret Garden Of Success
Changing our energy is a process. For most of us, it doesn’t happen overnight. However, it CAN if we allow it. Saint Augustine says: “Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.” As we explore on this journey of transformation we discover that we often need to change on some deep levels in order to attract success. Whatever success means to us. We sometimes find that our deepest and most basic attitudes toward life need to change. This is part of self-mastery. Our journey of discovery identifies our fears and negativities, our self-sabotage, our limiting attitudes and beliefs and the many blocks that we create to avoid change. This is all good, although it may not feel that way as we are working our way through it. It can be pain-full at times. However, practicing visualization is a method we can use to help us to create space and draw to ourselves all that we most desire.
Shakti Gawain, an expert on visualization, says that “the ultimate point of visualization … is to make every moment of our lives a moment of wondrous creation, in which we are naturally choosing the best, the most beautiful, the most fulfilling lives we can imagine.” To do this, we need to be clear about what it is we wish to create. If we are new to creative visualization then we begin the process by playing ( and we maintain an attitude of play forever!) with it. We pretend like children do. Begin by putting aside at least 15 minutes per day for your creative workshop. When you can you may wish to increase the time you spend in conscious creation. Everything is practice whether we are learning to ride a bicycle or communicating with angels. Visualization skills also increase with practice. Most of us find that with our intention we can connect to our inner child quite quickly and meet them in the secret garden of our minds to play and create.
If this is your first time in your secret garden – I suggest that you find a safe and quiet place to relax where you will not be disturbed. If you already have an inner sanctuary that you regularly visit to communicate with your angels and guides – that is wonderful – you can create from there. In our inner sanctuary EVERYTHING is possible. It is here that we remember that we are divine beings. Close your eyes and begin to relax. Relaxation is so important. When we are relaxed our brain wave patterns change and become slower. We enter alpha level. This level has been identified as a healthier level for creative visualization. Our normal, waking level – beta level, is our ‘usual’ busy state of consciousness. Alpha level has been found to be more effective for creating change in our ‘ordinary reality.’ Use whatever method of achieving alpha level works best for you. If you do not already have a regular relaxation and/or meditation practice that you can employ, then just close your eyes and connect with your breath. Invoke Archangel Michael to surround you in a protective bubble of white light & let your breath continue to slow and deepen as you inhale peace and exhale tension. Be aware of relaxing every muscle in your body, systematically letting go. Sighing is also a short-cut to relaxation. When you are feeling relaxed and ready to enter your secret garden of success then begin to count down from ten to one very slowly as you descend ten beautiful, white marble steps, pausing on each one to relax and enjoy the view. ( If you are having difficulty relaxing, it is advisable to sign up for some relaxation/meditation classes or hatha yoga) If this is your first time in your secret garden of success, you may wish to just enjoy this new experience and explore – knowing that Archangel Michael is keeping you safe as you wander around and become familiar with this heavenly sanctuary. Don’t worry about getting lost! Archangel Michael is with you and also you can easily THINK yourself back to the bottom of the white marble steps whenever you so choose. It is important to feel safe, because fear is a block to creation. If you encounter any fears or obstacles ask Archangel Michael to please help you cut through them using his Sword of Truth. Take your time. Remember that once we look fully and deeply at our fears with Archangel Michael by our side, they lose their power over us completely. When we feel safe and confident and excited – it is time to create anew! Remember though this process of creative visualization only works for the Highest Good of all beings. Any attempt to use our ‘power’ for any type of destructive, selfish or harmful purpose boomerangs back to us. This is the law of karma. “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Therefore, we only use our power for positive, loving purposes. Wishing for ourselves what we wish for everyone: success, happiness & love. Many lightworkers (myself included) end EVERY creative visualization process with these words: “This or something better, now manifests for me in totally harmonious ways for the Highest Good of all involved.” I have discovered, through my own experiences and that of my clients, that when we employ creative visualization and leave the ‘how’ it will happen to the universe – miracles occur. Do not tell the universe ‘how’ to deliver your order. You do not need to figure out how your new job, new career, new romance or new windfall of money will occur. Merely put out your clear picture of what you desire, let go of your attachment to it and trust and KNOW that it will happen in Divine Timing, in accordance with the laws of Creation. Your Co-Creator has the BIG picture. Get clear, focus, create and let go ( in earthly time you may receive some guided action steps to follow) knowing that all is in Divine Order. When you are ready to come back to ‘ordinary reality’ leisurely return to the bottom of the white marble steps after giving gratitude for what you are about to receive! Gratitude is the magic ingredient. Take your time re-entering. Stop again frequently on the steps during your ascent to feel the peace of your garden of success and also the joyful expectation of what you have created! Take this peace and joy with you into the rest of your day as you stretch and yawn and slowly come back to full awareness of your place on Earth at this time and space. Know that you can return to your garden of success to relax and/or create whenever you wish to.
Always wish for others what you wish for yourself. We are all ONE.
With Love, Monica

Thanks for taking us on a turn in ‘the secret garden’ and providing some tools for us to return again and again on our own!

I think I just read another chapter of your upcoming book Monica. This definitely belongs there.
Love all your writings.

Am reading this a week late — or, given Divine Timing — perhaps at just the right moment? Thanks for this one.
