Another precious gem from Carrie, isn't it wonderful that we can live in the NOW and choose who we want to be?? We can have such an exciting life created by us!!! Lots of love, light, hugs and blessings. &, Uma   CIRCLES OF TIME See yourself standing in the center of a circle.  Around you are concentric circles reaching out and out, showing you your life in one year, five years, ten years and more.  See how things are likely to be, based on what you think and do right now. And now, notice above you that there is a shining light, a bright and glowing light that is your higher self, your soul self.  Invite that light to shine down upon you and form a bright golden cylinder of personal power around you, glowing with all of your finer qualities, your connection to spirit, your greatness, your inner peace, your talents and skills, your love of nature, art and beauty, your compassionate and loving heart.  Feel this cylinder forming around you, containing now not only all that you dream of for yourself, but all of your soul's wisdom, power and intention, poured down into and around you. Feel and know that this cylinder of power is yours to create at will, to empower all of your choices, your decisions and your relationships. And now, turn just a little in the circle.  Shift your choices, habits and disciplines, how you spend your time and relate to others, what you think and what you say.  Shift them to reflect the wonder and greatness you feel and know inside this cylinder of power.  And now, look out at the concentric circles again.  See how they sparkle with the possibility of what you can create, simply by empowering yourself, making choices out of that power, and then letting time do the rest of the work.  See your life opening up before you in love and joy, health and wealth.  See the dreams of your soul expressed and evolving, glowing out.  See how a little daily change becomes a desire fulfilled in several years:  a healthier body, more financial security, a peaceful center, a musical instrument or new language mastered.  See how the smallest little turn and shift in the center of now has an enormous impact on the concentric circles of time. And if your desire is for a loving companion, see how you could begin to overcome your shyness and meet many more people, all while actively choosing to become the person that more fully expresses the vibrant and loving spirit that is within you, shining out with your humor and inner light, attracting toward you what you desire, by simply letting who you truly are shine out in the world. Your power is immense.  The love and light within you are complete.  Choose, right now, to step into your cylinder of power every day and feel and know what you are truly capable of.  Choose to make those tiny shifts that let time become your friend.  Choose to shine out with all you are so that others may recognize you as the person they have been seeking.  Choose to live within the vibrant power of your being, now and in those years that stretch out before you, circle after circle.   www.carriehart.com
