 On a beautiful sunny day I was walking along the beach, returning to my beach bungalow when I saw a group of my friends from the nearby yoga centre, they were worried. The yoga teacher had lost the key to the yoga centre, it was a beautiful antique key for an antique padlock from Tibet. There were only 2 keys, the owner had one & the other was for whichever yoga teacher was taking the next class. Losing the key was a big problem for them. She knew where she had walked since she had last had the key, she had walked between the yoga centre & the beach. She felt so terrible for her boss, she didn't want to have lost the key that had sentimental value to him. More people joined the search for the key. I needed to go buy some food, so as I walked the stretch of path between the beach & the yoga centre, I casually looked down, hoping to find it, but I didn't. On my way back with my food, they were still searching for it & as I got closer to my beach bungalow I glanced to the right of the path & there was an antique key on a piece of ribbon. I picked it up & skipped back to the yoga centre with it to give it back to them. They were so grateful. I explained that you can't find what you believe is lost. So even though many people had looked at that section of the path, they hadn't found it because they believed it lost. But it was more than that. They were all very emotionally involved with the lost key. They were worried, they felt terrible. I wasn't emotionally involved in it, I was carrying on with my day after a casual attempt to find it & I had let it go. This is why I could see it there on the path when others couldn't. I was reminded of this story last week by the still very grateful yoga centre owner. But again, reminded of it today, this time by my higher self as a key to helping me with my life right now. There are two things in my life I am struggling with right now, I am totally emotionally involved in them. I'm worried, I'm fighting it, I'm not accepting of either of them, I'm trying to control it, I'm trying to change it & both are completely lost to me. I can't see the key on the path. I'm too emotionally involved in it. I know that I need to let go. I even know that everything is ok & will be ok, with both of them, because they always are. But still I am struggling with this emotional involvement, which is keeping the manifestation of what I want to come about easily. I'm struggling to let go & allow the key to reveal itself. So I ask my higher self for some help. What can I do to let go? This was the response: Refocus on something else that you don't have a problem with, one step at a time, every time you find yourself focused on what is worrying you again, refocus on something else. How often do you stay focused on the struggle, on the things in your life that you are emotionally involved in, thinking that you can figure it out? Has that ever worked for you? Or is it only when you have let go of it, surrendered, that what you wanted manifested with ease? It's time to focus on something else, on something that is easy, on something that you're not worried about, on something simple, like getting your dinner, like taking care of yourself, those easy things that have no emotional attachments, knowing that the universe will show you the key that you have been looking for in good time.

 Introducing Holly Signorelli, customer of around 5 years, who has recently published her book The Secret to Wealth: How to change your money story & claim the abundance that is rightfully yours! I read it a few months ago & let the lessons in it play themselves out in my own life. I want to share this book & her wonderful perspective with you all in this interview. Enjoy! Hi Holly, firstly thank you for writing this book. Money seems to be a big problem for so many people, it seems to be a very difficult subject to master for many people so I appreciate everyone who is sharing their money wisdom to help us all to get in alignment with this wonderful resource that is money. I especially loved your practical & spiritual approach mix, it spoke to me being a very practical spiritual person myself! What inspired you to write the book in this way? My first book was created to show people how to manage their money, during the 2008 saga with the banks and so many people losing their house and jobs. This time I really wanted to inspire people in a very different way, so I wrote the book as if I was talking to my best friend. I had so many downloads in this book and sometimes didn’t even remember writing them! Most of all money is such a big issue globally and I’ve found that about 90% of the population has money issues, even if they have a lot of money. Most people don’t understand that money is a vibration just like anything else. And how you talk about money and feel about it, is what you will get out of it. You sent me a copy of the book when I was in the process of falling in love & I didn’t get a chance to read it until I had just committed myself to being in that relationship. It was very interesting timing for me, because my finances had just taken a downward turn, which has always happened to me throughout my life whenever I get into a relationship, I can literally go from a great monthly income to $0. So when I read “I’ve never seen a client fall deeply in love without it affecting their bank accounts on a great level.” that chapter stopped me in my tracks & made me question this pattern that I had going on. To me that was the most impactful chapter of your book & a few months later things have turned around for me as I’ve become settled in the relationship. I, like you, had been picking the wrong men, the men who hadn’t been able to love me properly or support me either & it affected my income drastically. My relationship is very different this time. Can you share a little of your relationship/money journey with us here & about how love changes everything? Oh yes! I’ve always been able to make a good living, but in my late 20’s and early 30’s I was in long relationships with very wealthy men. I still always paid my own bills, but they would pay for any trips or going out to eat. After six years of being together in one relationship, I started to really get bigger money with my career, and that’s when he dumped me out of know where! The person that he left me for didn’t really make much money, and I realized that he wanted to be in control of the relationship. This is something I see a lot, where the husband makes the income and gives the wife a small amount of money to be in control. Fortunately, the millennials are changing that. Our kids are 24-25 and with their relationships they both pay or take turns. I love that! The chapter on how guilt & fear hold you back resonated me on a deep level too, because most of my work is in helping people to release the fear & guilt that holds them back from everything they want in life, not just the money. I found in myself that I was very judgmental of myself around money, so I was making myself feel guilty for not doing as well as my harsh inner parent thought I should be! And the guilt was the very thing keeping me from what I really wanted. It seems to be a never ending process, uncovering new fears, old guilts, & releasing them to move to the next financial or success level. Have you found that personally? Yes, I think we all of these moments where we judge, but I’ve really gotten better about that. I know that when I judge someone, that I have done it as well, even if it was in the past. We are all working through the planet and we all have made mistakes. I do think that guilt is the worst one, because it keeps you from moving forward. Forgiveness is the key here, especially with the new energies now. I loved the way you were so blunt in the feeling of lack chapter lol, lack causes overspending, you are so right! I’ve seen in my clients that a lack perspective causes behaviour that turns away what people really want, from being with the wrong kind of partner to blatantly saying no to what they really want even when it is offered right to them. I can look back in my business & see where I had turned away from what was working, or even just stopped doing something that was working, because of this lack perspective. It took me many years to stop emotionally reacting to the regular downturns in business & even now I have to work at this, at not reacting to lack, not letting it take over my consciousness. What do you do to emotionally ride out those income waves? I see this a lot in my company as a CPA. When a person feels like there isn’t enough money, they will (not realizing) buy something they really want because they believe that there is no other way. Honestly I’ve done that myself in the past, and had to work through that as well. I have a certification of the Archetypes of money and on my profile I’m a Maverick. This is typically someone that takes big risks. So two times in my life, I’ve done that and created big losses. I had to work through that as well. Mavericks can get big gains and also big losses, so now I’m careful about those opportunities. I'm a maverick too, I totally understand. Frustration has never been a huge problem for me, I value my freedom above everything so I never work too hard anymore, I tend to laziness more than overwork, however, disappointment is the emotion that takes me over when I’m not paying attention. It’s amazing how much that feeling manifests in more disappointing things fast! I have to convince myself to be satisfied with my current financial situation instead. What is the emotion that you reach for with your finances? I can definitely understand that. In 2016 I sold my company to change my model, and I misread part of the contract. The people that bought it were not like me, they weren’t personable and I only got half of what I was supposed to get. When that happened I fully surrendered to my higher self and I started to get ideas and ways to get the clients I really wanted. 2016 was a hard year, but the next year I had the company that I really wanted, I went virtually and have more staff. This last year, I really had standards with my company and my profit ratio was almost 70%. My clients are super happy because they are being taken care of. You wrote about judgement, which is such a window of opportunity for self-awareness. We judge in others what we judge in ourselves, so this can be very eye opening when it comes to finances. I’ve judged people for being irresponsible with their money, when I’ve been doing the exact same thing! I see a lot of people judging the rich for hoarding, or not spending in the right way, or for not giving in the right way. I don’t have this judgment myself, I see the great things that rich people are doing in the world & I appreciate what they have done for the world to receive the wealth they have. What is a common judgement that you witness that holds money away from your clients? One of the Archetypes is the accumulator. This is someone who has money but doesn’t think they have enough. They leave it in the bank and don’t enjoy using it for fun. I’ve had to let go of clients that are like this because they will always pay late, or try to negotiate. I don’t charge people more if they have more money, so it’s not fair for the other clients. So yes, I do feel sometimes a judgement, but I go back to the fact that all of us make bad money decision, including me! On the other side you have the Celebrity, which is the spender. Those enjoy all of the clothes, cars and other things that make them feel alive! It great to have things but it’s best to have money in the bank. Money is really about balance. Balance yes! Off that money rollercoaster & finding balance. The easiest business to do is the one that is fun & you love, isn’t it? I’ve recently started helping my partner out in his business, I love his business, I use his business every day for fun, it is pure fun for me to do the marketing for it, & because it’s so much fun to do it & to work with him on it, the business is sky rocketing. I love my business, but his, wow, it’s literally play every day, that’s all we do, play, play with people who come along. My own business is fun too, I get to play with higher selves, I get the fun of the serendipity that brings people to my services. There’s this belief that seriousness is how business is done, you know, men in grey suits, serious faces, no fun to be had here, but it goes against the way the universe works. What’s fun about your business for you? When I went virtual, it was the best! No more being in traffic, and if I’m done at 2 I’m done for the day. I think more and more people are going online for that reason. Also the people that I hire have flex hours and they are all very good at what they do. When you hire the right employees and allow flex hours then your staff will do anything for you. Also they don’t need 40 hours, they decide how many hours they want, and I give them work based on that. In fact right now I’m in the Dominican Republic and the girls are taking care of the clients for me. I loved your chapter on receiving. Receiving has been one of my life’s biggest challenges. I didn’t feel safe to receive. It was actually easier for me to receive pain, abuse or negativity than it was to receive love, money or appreciation. But I persisted in pursuing being able to receive, now I love receiving. I know many of my clients have found it difficult to open up to receiving too. Do you have any advice for them? Especially with money, receiving it is the key. The energies on the planet are different now, and the way to receive money is to realize that money is available to everyone, and it is a vibration. Nowadays you have to lock into the reality that you are a strong and powerful being, and that (just like Abraham-Hicks says) you always get what you want, if you really believe that you receive. It’s the resistance that keeps us from it. Also, always talk about money as if you already have it. I do this all the time, not just for money but also opportunities in life. That is great advice, thank you. Another thing I have noticed is that what we complain about instead of appreciate tends to stay out of our experience, so stopping the complaining about money & not having enough of it, but appreciating what we do have instead really makes a big difference fast! One thing I have recently discovered is the importance of the feeling of desire. So many people don’t even allow themselves to feel the desire for lots of money, maybe they have been convinced that it’s evil, or that they shouldn’t desire it, I even see a lot of memes on Facebook that affirm these beliefs that money itself or wanting it is somehow wrong. Yet, I know that the universe gives us what we desire & we have to really feel that desire for it. There’s so many great things we can do with money & if nothing else, less stress from not having enough money should be a good reason for anyone to desire more of it! Have you ever struggled with feeling the desire for money? I was very lucky to be born into a family that never had money issues. We had only one income, and we had 4 kids and 44 foster kids! We were not wealthy but we had everything that we needed. I worked since I was 14 because I wanted designer jeans that my parents couldn’t afford, and I felt empowered that I was able to create my own money. That’s why I want to change the way that people thank about money, to enjoy it, to give, to save, to live, to travel. We did not come here to be stagnant. We came here to create, and we have all the tools inside of us. So just know that you are a Sorceress and it is your birthright to create anything you want, including money! Perfect words, yes we came to create! It's what higher selves say all the time. Thank you so much for taking the time for this chat. Where can we find a copy of your book?

Want to work with me? Click here to find out how!  We have been sold a lie that it's our action that makes things happen, that it's our words that cause changes in people & situations around us, that it's our will power that is our true power. None of this is true. Our true power lies in our energy, in our consciousness, in our alignment. The universe & people respond to your energy more than any words that you speak. You only need to look around you at those you react to to see that this is true. It's not about what they say, it's about who you feel they are. This means that confrontation is not the best way of dealing with problems. Because the problem is within us & our energy. However, when the problem is in us & it causes painful situations, we still need to feel & release those emotions involved, through expressing them, but not using this to try to change another. An example: Mary is insecure. She's in a relationship, which is a good relationship, but she feels jealousy when he sees her partner show any attention to another woman. This jealousy feels terrible to her, it's not something that can be ignored because it hurts her. But confrontation is not the way to approach this, because the problem is not with her partner. Yet she needs to express her feelings truthfully to release them before she can look deeper at the cause of this within her. The best way to do this is to write a letter that never gets sent. Her feelings are real, they are a reaction to her thoughts & the situation, and in writing a letter to her partner about her feelings, she can feel them & release it. It's like having the confrontation that your emotions are telling you to have, in order to release them, without having the confrontation itself. This sets Mary free to then look within at why she has a pattern of feeling insecure so that she can choose to feel secure. The whole world responds to your energy, your alignment, more than your words or actions. Your energy is already heard by the whole universe, you don't need to plead your case to be heard.

Want to work with me? Click here to find out how!  You've heard about the law of attraction right? It has the power to totally transform your life from mundane to magical once you understand that your thoughts & energy creates. But there is also a lot of mis-information out there, or information that can be taken the wrong way. I used to be confused about my negative feelings, about what to do with them, about HOW to use them as feedback. Do I ignore the feelings so that I don't attract more of what is making me feel bad? Do I let bad feelings pass me by? Do I ignore what is causing these bad feelings & pretend I don't see them? If I act on these feelings to remove it from my life, am I just inviting more of what makes me feel bad in? If I'm experiencing contrast am I doing something wrong? Am I wrong? There are thoughts within us that give us negative feelings & there are things, people, places, etc. outside of us that give us negative feelings. When it is our own thoughts or projections that are giving us these negative feelings then that is a sure sign that our higher selves don't agree with us & a change in our thoughts to aligned thoughts will make us feel better. But when it is something outside of ourselves that is making us feel bad, is that bad feeling an emotional reaction that will attract more of what we don't want, or is it important feedback to take action to get rid of it from our lives? Let's look at this example: Mary doesn't like it when people are rude to her or even if she sees someone being rude to someone else. It drives her crazy. On Monday she was busy at work when someone came into the shop & after just a short wait they started complaining to her that she hadn't helped them yet. She was really busy & had even speeded up what she was doing so that she could help them sooner, but now she felt like stopping what she was doing & making them wait even longer. She pushed her feelings down & told them she wouldn't be much longer & she helped them as soon as she could. In her break later she complained with her colleagues about rude entitled people & how they are the worst part of the job. Will Mary keep attracting rude impatient people in this example? Yes she will. She didn't feel the negative emotion that she was feeling & use it to act upon it, to either make a new decision as to whether she really wants to work there, or to tell the customer that she isn't able to give instant service because she has other things to do first but maybe there is somewhere else that can give instant service, or to tell them that she cannot help them & to know for sure that she doesn't need inpatient rude customers because she prefers patient, appreciative customers instead. Instead she prioritised the customers negative feelings instead of her own negative feelings & she took the blow of it. Subtle changes in the way we deal with things makes all the difference. But let's make it simple & talk about rotting fruit instead. If there is some rotting fruit in your fruit bowl, should you: a. Ignore it or you might attract more rotten fruit into your life then wonder what you did wrong when all of your fruit becomes rotten, maybe you didn't ignore it perfectly enough? b. Look at the rotten fruit, pretend that it isn't rotten, affirm that it is fresh & meditate? c. Throw the rotten fruit out before it makes the other fruit rotten because you prefer fresh fruit & you want to enjoy the fruit that is good? Now it's simple. The answer is c. But but but... that's an action step & law of attraction says that I created it! No. Rotting fruit exists. Think of it as contrast. It's ok for rotting fruit to exist. All fruit rots when it is left long enough. You might even let it inspire you to eat your fruit more quickly, or to buy less of it in future. The truth is that if you don't feel your negative emotions & act on them in the moment, you'll end up with all of your fruit rotting because when you leave a piece of rotting fruit it will infect the rest of the fruit bowl. But then don't go around telling all of your friends the story about your rotting fruit, asking them if their fruit also rots, joining a protest group about rotting fruit & dedicating your life to the elimination of rotten fruit, because that WILL attract more! Have you been ignoring the rotting fruit in your life? How has that been affecting the rest of your life?

Want to work with me? Click here to find out how!  I'm not into fluffy-nonsense spirituality. If it isn't practical & it can't help me to get into alignment then it can flow right out of my experience. Don't get me wrong, there is a place for soothing, there is a time for comfort & hugs when you are damaged & raw. But once we are over those wobbly times we need empowered practical advice! The path of love: Fluffy nonsense or practical life advice? I googled path of love just before I wrote this, I found some fluffy nonsense & I also found some things that are just plain wrong: it's not for the faint of heart, it's a test, it's charity, forget the I, it's never a smooth ride,... Let me tell you what the path of love actually is, according to my very practical higher self! You are a unique being, you have your own personal blend of likes, dislikes, & things you love. As you focus on the things that you love, doing them, writing about them, singing about them, you feel more love. As you feel more love you attract thoughts, things, people, opportunities that match that. This means that you attract thoughts about more things that you already love or will love if only you knew about them. You attract things that you love. You attract people who you love & those who you will love once you meet them. You attract opportunities to feel more love. You become a total love magnet, attracting the things that YOU love. It's very much a personal path of selfishness. You can't get that same feeling by focusing on things that other people love but you don't. You can't get it by focusing on what you don't like in the world. You can't get it from focusing on what you don't like. You can't get it by focusing on what you think is wrong with the world, with people, with you,... Once you are on this path of love, you get super focused on certain things that you really love, you start to share it with the world, people who would also love what you love can't help but be attracted to your love vibe, they want to love what you love too, they want what you have. You attract your tribe of people who love what you love & you all love it together feeling more & more joy. It's infectious. Then you see something that you don't love. You don't feel good. Now you're on the path of hate, you don't like it, you attract more things that you don't like, you start to see things wrong with people, the world, you feel worse & worse, you attract people who don't love either, who are hating too, you get together to right the wrongs of the world & you fool yourself into thinking you are on the path of love, it's not for the faint of heart, it's a test, it's charity, forget the I, it's never a smooth ride,... Then you wake up, you focus on what you love again, you get back on the true path of love. The only way onto this path of love is from within. You MUST focus on what YOU love & remain true to that. When you get on this upward spiral it gets easier & easier to stay on the path of love. You will be amazed at where the path of love will take you in life, to the best places, the best people, the best opportunities, the best feelings, the best relationships, the best business, the most joy, the most fun, to everything you have ever wanted! Where can you start today? What do you love? Tell us in the comments.  I'm Claire Louise Hay, I help you claim your true power to manifest the life of your dreams through self-awareness and alignment with your higher self.
