Create a Sacred Circle
Let’s gather into a circle, and create a sacred space
to dream and create magic and miracles in our lives.
“We invite you to cast aside your preconcep2ons and enter, with us, a magical world where all things are connected to you, and you are connected to all things...We now see the minerals, the plants, and the animals as servants of man. We have forgo;en that they are our teachers as well, that they can open us to ideas and emo2ons that have been locked from the human heart for too long a 2me.”

Co-Creating Your World
This is a @me when we are being called upon to become fully our Selves…to bring our personal crea@vity, power and heart to the task of co-‐crea@ng a world that works for every one. The ecology of our personal life affects the ecology of the whole world, which, of course, affects and is affected by every being living on our earth.
If you want to live in a world filled with kindness, compassion, respect and love, then cul@va@ng those quali@es in your Self will create the world you desire.
Embodying these quali@es begins with stepping into your power. Not the kind of power that is wielded over another, but power that is the spiritual power of being…the power that comes from living a heart-‐connected life, where our physical self is following the lead of our soul self.
I think of the heart as the bridge between our mind/physical life and our spirit/soul.You are expressing your power of being each @me you follow your heart and align your ac@ons with what your heart is saying.
. . . . . . . .
"There is a soul force in the Universe, which if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results".

Celebration!“Look closely and you will find that
people are happy because they are grateful.”— David Steindl-Rast
We’re going to start crea@ng right now, by taking @me to honor and acknowledge some wonderful things about your life, your self, your work…quite small, or really big! Celebra@ng allows our ability to receive to expand…like enlarging our abundance vessel.
Celebrate Your Life by acknowledging the gifs you experience in 7 key areas...and allow gra@tude to expand in your life...preparing you to receive more of life's gifs. When we choose to feel gra@tude, we begin to feel abundant...and that allows us to share our abundance with others. Abundance comes in many forms...not just in areas of money. Compassion, acceptance, pa@ence, kindness, personal achievement, are just a few that come to mind.
Look around your life, and find your blessings…look for the many things you have to be grateful for – large or quite small.
Let’s tap into gra@tude for each important aspect of your life:
Look at your physical self: What do you have to be grateful for about your health and physical condi@on? Allow this feeling of apprecia2on and gra2tude to fill you as you contemplate your blessings. When you consider these blessings in your life, how do you feel? Name that feeling.
CREATIVE ALCHEMY 2014 9
KATHY KAWALEC WWW.DANCINGHEARTS.ORG
Look at your physical surroundings: Home, property, material possessions that you enjoy, physical objects that bring you pleasure or comfort. What are you grateful for in your physical surroundings?
Look at your Financial situa2on: income, savings, investments, debt that you’ve paid off…What are you grateful for in your financial situa@on?
Look at your career/work/job: What about this part of your life are you grateful for?
Look at the love in your life: this includes roman@c love, rela@onships, partnerships, friendships…your parents, kids, animal companions, neighbors. What about your love life are you grateful for?
Look at the Crea2ve expression in your life: singing, dancing, pain@ng, wri@ng, intui@ng, building, designing, ac@ng, producing, filming, photographing, crafing, cooking, gardening, sewing, fel@ng…What about your crea@ve expression are you grateful for?
Look at the adventure in your life: travel, sports, recrea@on, retreat, explora@on, new experiences of any kind. What about the adventure in your life are you grateful for?
CREATIVE ALCHEMY 2014 10
KATHY KAWALEC WWW.DANCINGHEARTS.ORG
Look at your spiritual life: personal discovery, healing, recovery, reclaiming personal power, intui@ve awareness, connec@ng with your spirit, connec@ng with the whole of the universe… What about your spiritual life are you grateful for?
Look at your giving life: volunteering, charitable giving, suppor@ng causes, making change in your community or in the world, peacemaking, sending healing or praying for others… What about your giving life are you grateful for?
Allow the feeling of apprecia2on and gra2tude to fill you as you contemplate your blessings. When you consider these blessings in your life, how do you feel? Name that feeling.
"As we express our gra.tude, we must never forget that the highest apprecia.onis not to u9er words, but to live by them."

Release and Be Free!“You're not what you have and you're not what you do; you're an infinite, divine being disguised as a successful person who has accumulated a certain amount of stuff. The stuff is not you. For that reason, you must avoid being a;ached to it in any way.” -‐Dr Wayne Dyer
• Clear space in your life in order to make room for the new things you want to a9ract. An important step to create your dreams is to iden@fy and remove anything in your life that is blocking your goal. This includes obstacles in your mental, emo@onal, physical and spiritual world. I think of this as ‘geUng ready’ so that when the thing you want shows up, you can go for it!!
Look at your physical environment. If your desk is a mess, organize it. If your closets are burs@ng, clean them out. If your house is a mess, clean it up. Clean, clear, organize, recycle.What are some of the physical obstacles you can clear from your life?
Do the same for your mental house, including freeing yourself of nega@ve habits such as procras@na@on, gossip, waste and irresponsibility.What are some of the mental obstacles you can clear from your life?

Now clear your spiritual house: eliminate cynicism, arrogance, biBerness, judgements.What are some of the spiritual obstacles you can clear from your life?
Remove all the drama in your rela2onships. Adopt the inten@on to simplify. If your stuff no longer serves you – get rid of it. Take responsibility for your heart’s desires and Inspired Vision.Where is there drama in your life that you can clear?

Meeting Your NeedsOne of the most important aspects of crea@ng the life you envision is to bring awareness and commitment to what it is that you personally need to thrive on a daily basis.
It is important to get in touch with your humanity, and to meet the needs of the whole you…physical, mental, emo@onal and spiritual.

Winter SolsticeThis midpoint of winter is not only the shortest day of the year, but also the longest night. We celebrate the darkness and its s@llness, while celebra@ng our connec@on to the Earth and the return of the light. Various "fes@vals of light" have been celebrated for thousands of years, serving as a reminder that the light will indeed return. On this day we have an opportunity to release situa@ons and paBerns that are ready to “be lost into the night”. And declare our desire for quali@es and aBributes that are wai@ng to be reborn.
Release and Renewal CeremonyYou’re now going to engage in the powers of the planet to help you release and renew! Have fun wri@ng, drawing and decora@ng two jiffy story boards that represent release and renewal.
You’ll need two large sheets of paper and colored pencils, markers or crayons.
On one piece of paper: write or draw all the stuff you want to leave behind (release). You might write things such as “guilt”, “anger”, “fear of disapproval”, “self-‐doubt”…
This paper will be released thru fire, transmuted into energy and given back to the earth as fer@lizer.
On the second piece of paper: write, draw and decorate all the quali@es you want to expand in the new year. You might write quali@es such as “trust”, “focus”, “pa@ence”, “love”, “courage”, “play”…

This paper will be presented to the Mother Earth, who will nurture it through the darkness of winter into the warmth and light of the coming sun days where these quali@es will manifest.We will “symbolically” release and renew during the class…then aferwards, you can take your papers outside to complete the ceremony. You’ll burn your release paper and allow the ashes to be scaBered in the wind. Then you’ll bury your renewal paper in the earth.

Co-Creating:How We Make Things HappenAt some level, each of us has always known that we have aBracted people, things, and events into our lives based on our thoughts, words, ac@ons and beliefs. The recogni@on of that is in our daily speech, such phrases as: "What you put your aBen@on on grows", "Be careful what you wish (pray) for", “Ask and you shall receive”, What you sow is what you shall reap”, “What goes around, comes around”…
We, along with the rest of what we see and experience, are made up of a miraculous interchange of vibra@ng waves of energy. When we create something, we always create first in thought form. We know that energy of a certain quality or vibra@on tends to aBract energy of a similar quality and vibra@on, for example: a piano being tuned with a tuning fork.
Another important concept is: whatever we put out into the universe is aBracted back to us. Which means in prac@cal applica@on:
whatever we think about the most, believe in the strongest, expect on the deepest levels, or imagine the most vividly about, shall be our experience.
This process of crea@on is referred to as the:
Law of Attraction~Like a\racts Like~
What you think about is what you get -‐-‐ what you focus on is what you draw to you.
When you feel good and put that out to the universe, you get back more of what makes you feel good.
When you don’t feel good, and you ac@vely reflect that out, you’re puUng yourself into a posi@on to aBract more things that don’t feel good.

So, when you say “I choose joy”, you get more joy.When you think “I hate my job” you get more of the feeling of ha@ng your job.
The key is to become conscious and aware of what you do want today and going forward.
This inten@on can help you refocus your thoughts, feelings and aBen@on in a direc@on that is aligned with what you really want in your life.
Found within the Law of ABrac@on is the key for crea@ng: It’s what you FEEL that really counts. Your feelings are the strongest indicator of the energy that is actually moving through you, and aBrac@ng more energy of the same vibra@onal frequency into your life.
So, you must be willing to re-‐wire your internal opera@ng system with new, empowering thoughts, feelings, ac@ons and beliefs in order to bring the abundance of your vision into your life.
“All the forms that aperson fashions with hishands must first exist inhis thought. He cannotshape a thing un@l hehas thought that thing.”
A persons way ofdoing things is the directresult of the way hethinks about things.

Willpower that Works
..."in order to align with the Tao (governing principles of nature), a person must be quiet and
recep@ve enough to feel its presence, sensi@ve and adaptable enough to follow its direc@on,
spontaneous enough to move with its flow whenever it unexpectedly changes course,
modest enough to realize that the individual mind could never fathom the vast workings of
this universal principle, and trus@ng enough to know that wherever its currents lead, the Tao
ul@mately acted in everyone's best interest."
-‐Linda Kohanov, interpre@ng the Tao Te Ching in The Tao of Equus
OK, so by now you realize that consciously aligning your energy so that it is directed toward your dreams and goals is exci@ng, challenging and loving work.
You are on your way to seUng up the perfect condi@ons for the universe of energy and maBer to work with you, crea@ng your dream. You must allow the energy of the universe to flow through you, instead of relying on your personal power to make it happen. The universe arranges for all necessary things to fall into place at just the right @me, so pa@ence is paramount.
Remember, the universe will provide opportuni@es for you, but you must choose to receive them, to act upon them, and some@mes to wait for them!
The place to use your willpower is to keep your thoughts, words, feelings and ac@ons congruent and posi@vely pointed toward what you want to create. This is difficult work, and it takes courage, dedica@on and commitment.
Work at this every single day.

Stay Inspired and DedicatedStaying inspired as you create your Best Year Ever is key for you to stay dedicated to reaching your goals. Daily inspira@on is needed to help you stay on course.
I find it very helpful to have a simple ritual that will enable you to get in touch with your passion…with your dreams and your vision…and the feeling you experience when you are immersed in your Vision. Crea@ng space for this ritual daily will keep you inspired and tapped into the flow of crea@vity.
PROCLAIM IT!!
Having an inten@on commitment to your dreams is so powerful. I invite you to create your own proclama@on document, following this template:
Part One: Your Proclama2on – a simple statement of 20 words or less that declares your commitment.
Part Two: Your commitment to nurture the feeling of your vision... the feeling you get when you immerse yourself in your clear mental picture of living your dream life. This is your declara@on that you are responsible for crea@ng the feeling that is needed within yourself in order to aBract what you desire. Simply name the feeling.
Part Three: Your declara2on of worth and willingness to receive. A simple affirma@on of 10 words or less sta@ng that you are worthy of abundance and willing to let yourself receive it.
Part Four: Your endorsement. By signing your proclama@on, you are affirming your inten@on of commitment to yourself and to the universe.
Create a New Habit to Stay Inspired• Once each day for the next 21 days, read aloud your Proclama@on with passion, inspira@on and commitment. Spend 30 seconds really feeling the feeling that is needed to inspire your commitment to cul@va@ng your vision. Thereafer, do this as needed to stay inspired…every day is good!

• Write out your en@re Proclama@on onto three cards and place them in places around your home and office where you will encounter them throughout each day. When you come to a card, pause and read your Proclama@on (out loud if possible). Do this at least three @mes per day, for 21 days, then as needed thereafer.
• Share your Proclama@on with at least 3 people in the next week – infused with inspired, passionate feeling as you share it. Engage your believing eyes!!!
• Choose to joyfully take ac@on daily!
Create a document that you can use for your ritual:
Make a proclama@on of your inten@on to meet your first goal of living from your heart and following your passion, with a simple statement of 20 words or less that begins with:
“I, (First Name Last Name), hereby proclaim my inten@on….”
(example: …proclaim my inten2on to joyfully make choices and take ac2on that is aligned with my vision, allowing my Dream Seeds to grow and blossom into vibrant life.)
Then, name the feeling that you most want to feel in the coming year and...feel that feeling as you write it down here:
My Heart-‐felt, Inspiring Theme Feeling for 2014 is:
Then, declare your willingness to be ready for your dreams with a simple statement of 10 words or less sta@ng that you are willing, open, and will take steps to make your dreams come true. This is your promise to yourself.
(Examples are:I am open and ready to receive all that I dream of.My brain works in harmony with my heart to create the life I love.It is like me to make my dreams come true because I am passionate, persistent and I will find a way!

Create Your Dream Seed CardsBetween now and New Year’s day, you will make a Dream Seed card for every item that you have chosen to bring to life in 2014. You will gather this from the Dream Seed worksheet you created earlier today.
Print out as many copies as you need. Fill out one card for each dream, (project, goal, aspira@on) that you will be working towards in the coming year.
Here is an example of the card. There is a separate pdf with your cards, 6 on a page.

Create Your Alchemy Box
Fill your box with magic and the seeds of your Dreams. The items that go into your box are:
• A feather, a stone, a tea light (or other small) candle, a coin. • Your bag of magic ashes.• Any other tokens, talismans, objects, photos etc that you want to include to help create magic.
• Your Dream cards. Create as many cards as you like, cut them apart and fold them to a size that will fit inside your alchemy box.

Create Your Dream PosterThe poster will serve as a visual reminder of your dreams, and it will get your energy moving in the direc@on of crea@on! And, it’s a LOT of fun!
You’ll need a baseboard…I like to use a 9x12 or 11x14 size poster board that you can get at a craf/hobby store. Then, you’ll need:
• Photos, clippings, decora2ve objects, s2ckers and other fun stuff to create your Dream Story Board. Things that represent what is important to you, and what you are dreaming about crea@ng in your life.
• Assemble crayons, markers, paint, gli\er, glue, scissors, ribbon, colored paper and other tools and items that you will use to create your poster.
Next, spread your items out on your table or floor, and get crea@ve! Just start, and follow your heart and your imagina@on. Pretend you’re 7 again…and play…have fun…create! It helps to play your favorite music while you’re crea@ng. And…it’s OK to take a break and dance too!!
~~~I would love for you to share a photo of your dream board…they are so absolutely inspiring!
Place your Alchemy Box and Dream poster in places of honor…and allow the magic to happen in your life!
