New dream board tool on Oprah.com

Posted by thedre4mer on May 25, 2010

Check out this new free tool on Oprah.com. You can create a beautiful vision board in minutes. The photos are from Getty Images so there’s plenty of inspiring ones to choose from.

It’s the first time I’ve created a vision board on my PC. Always gone for the manual way before. I think there are benefits to both. This is a lot quicker but I enjoy flicking through the magazines and selecting the photos. Both are great fun though…and both work! (See my old posts).

Great article from O Magazine also, written by Martha Beck, about how to best create a vision board. Covers the importance of letting go of the ideas once you’ve ‘put them out there’. You create the vision and put the power into it while you’re making the board, after that you can let it go. Makes a good point – when you hear of people who’s amazing visions have come true, they always seem to say: “It was only two years later, as I unlocked the door to my dream home, that I remembered that vision board” etc.

The important thing I think is to put all your creativity and effort into it while you’re doing it. Get yourself ‘in the zone’ by doing whatever feels good for you. Whether it’s lighting a candle while sipping tea and listening to soothing music or ordering a pizza and cranking up the ACDC (air guitar optional). By the way, there’s no limit to the number you make or how often you can make a new one. I have four now – the one I made in England, the one I made at the vision board workshop when I arrived in California, one I created for my novel, and now the Oprah one.

Dream on people!

How life can change after you make your first vision board…

Posted by thedre4mer on March 3, 2010

Where, oh where, have the months gone?

A quick summary…

1. Was invited to a vision board workshop at beautiful ranch in Topanga a few weeks after arriving in LA. (Hadn’t even heard of vision board workshops before this). Met the fantastic ‘certified vision board facilitator’ (Ditto).

2. Competition to win a one-hour session with said facilitator. Guess who won it? That’s right. Me. Shock number two – she hands me her card. She is an editor and I am writing a novel. My novel includes a vision board (*insert twilight zone music here*).

3. Had a fantastic session with said facilitator. She suggested using it to look at my book since we’d made vision boards at the workshop. Judith Fine-Sarchielli. Fantastic editor, vision board coach, and Tuscan chef (she lived in Italy for 20 years)

4. Re-wrote some of book as a result and uploaded to ‘Authonomy’ website run by Harper Collins. Bit of a time-consuming site but worthwhile for feedback.  My pen name is ‘Amelia Field’.

5. Volunteered to help Judith with vision board workshop. Watch this space…

6. Now have a second updated vison board made at the workshop. Love it. Also made one to depict my book’s plot at Judith’s suggestion. Amazingly useful. Made a third vision board for friend who gave me a wonderful intuitive healing session. Her professional name is ‘Loving Essence’. First time I’d had anything like that and I felt a bit awkward but she was so kind and wonderful that it was a complete pleasure and very interesting. Board I made was themed around ‘gratitude’ (pic below). Another idea from Judith. Vision boards as gifts! Great idea.

7. Loving LA.

NUMBER 3

dawnsVisionBoard number 3

From Dawn Abraham in Marina del Rey, Los Angeles, California

I had so much fun designing my dream board. I look at it now and so many of the things I put on this board have either come true or something even better has happened. The magic from my board is still generating and manifesting itself today.

You see I didn’t fool around with my dream board. I went to town!! It is full of all the wonderful places I intend on traveling and the people I want to meet and share my life with.

I have yoga poses I want to achieve. I am meditating on the beach overlooking the ocean at sunrise (I did that in Florida when studying with Deepak Chopra, it was incredible) I have inspiring affirmations that say:

Affirmations

”I Am RENEWED”

“I AM RELAXED”

“I AM CONFIDENT”

“I AM UNSTOPPABLE”

“I AM FOCUSED”

“I AM SELF AWARE”

“I AM CALM”

“I AM ENRICHED”

“I AM PLAYFUL”

The sky is the limit. Anything you find that inspires you put that on your dream board.

I have to say that when I first made this vision board I thought that everything would happen right away. Some of the things actually did happen with in a short amount of time while others still had to grow for me. I look back and now realize that if every one of those things happened right away I wouldn’t have had time to appreciate and fully experience them all.

The Complete Vision Board Kit: How to Use the Power of Intention and Visualization to Manifest the Life of Your Dreams

Posted by thedre4mer on October 20, 2009

John Assaraf, millionaire entrepreneur and one of the stars of ‘The Secret’ has published the above guide to creating a vision board which works. His story inspired me to start this blog and set up my own inspiring vision board (see last post for details).

I am definitely going to order a copy. It looks fantastic and there are also lots of free resources on his site including dream board examples. Here is a description from his website www.johnassaraf.com.

“Done correctly, a vision board will help make your dreams come true. You can create a vision board to help you achieve success in as many ways as you define the word,

* in your health
* relationships
* wealth
* careers goals
* in all aspects of your life.

“While it’s very simple, there’s more to changing your life with a vision board than just pasting pictures on a board. You must also pay close attention to your thoughts and intentions – and you’ll find out exactly how to do that, faster, easier and better, with this book.

“And it’s actually much more than a book, it comes with a 45 minute DVD entitled The Secret to Having Your Best Year Ever, and a sample vision board – everything you need to create your own life-changing vision board.

“Here’s the thing about vision boards. They really work!

“If you saw The Secret, you may recall the story of how John Assaraf learned about the incredible power of vision boards in his own life. Click on the link below for details on that story. And download your free Chapter One to find out how easy it is to harness the amazing power of your own vision board!”

You can read about the true story of how John Assaraf discovered the power of vision boards and download a free chapter from the book here http://www.thevisionboardkit.com/index.php.
