Opening Up - How did we do?

Our results for the Opening Up project were so great they almost sound like endorsements for an infomercial. Here's what we had to say about the project:

General Observations:

"This has been a great project! I think the best part for me is all the visuals it helped create. Imagining the open doors, the paths leading out, etc. Bringing those images into my mind when I'm feeling closed in is really helpful. I feel myself relax immediately, like, "OK, Karla, refocus here..take a breath and look at everthing that is open to you today!" ~Karla.

"It isn't until it's at the end of the process that we can really see how far we've come. I had NO idea what a wonderful project this was going to be." ~Dawn

"For me, the biggest thing I can see is that I feel much more relaxed about me, who I am in the world, and how I am in the world." ~Shirley

Specifics:

I wasn't open to the free flow of money and once I started adjusting my attitude..ta da..it's trickling in. A check for a channeling reading done by phone, some relief with tax refund, help from my boyfriend with bills. Maybe if I keep working on it, we'll have a rushing river soon!

Oh, one more thing. We are getting married... Decided to stop waiting for money for a big bash, stop waiting for everyone to get along perfectly, stop waiting... to be perfect... forgive myself for past relationships... and just be OPEN to living and the possibilities love brings ...once we decided, everthing started opening up FOR us.. a reception place became available free, found a free place to wed on beach, a friend is a photographer, stumbled across a really cool minister, found discounted decorations online... this is all in the past couple weeks. I'm telling you..I think this opening stuff is awesome!" ~Karla

"My husband got a job...not just any job, but a job that is ideal for him and for our life situation. I had a job offer that was great money, but I dreaded accepting... I let go of the guilt, the worries about money, and I refused the job. Not two days later, I had job offers for tutorials that payed triple the amount per hour. The tutorials are only 2 hours a day, leaving the rest of the day for me to explore and play. Low stress, lots of money... all because I listened to my inner voice and did what felt right, not what felt like the thing I SHOULD do. I opened myself up to taking a Reiki course, even when I doubted it's validity... and I opened myself up to the others in the course. Now, I have a Reiki master who is awesome, new friends who help lighten and brighten me inside and out, and a new skill that has changed every aspect of my life. Not only that, but my husband is planning to take the next course, so he can help me to heal my immune system (Chronic Fatigue). How awesome and OPEN is that! This has been so much more than I expected it to be. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." ~Dawn

"I decided to be open and started a really awesome project that has already made me some money right off the bat." ~Michelle

"I found a meditation practice that is also a prayer that is also an exercise in "thy will be done" that is also being fully present in the body that is also really fun and good exercize. That was awesome... Even though I missed a significant amount of work right around Christmas, I did not run a zero balance, or have a "low balance" notification from my bank... Still no sign of my "winter depression" which to me is a major miracle. It's the first winter EVER that I haven't been depressed even one time..." ~Shirley

Other comments and tips:

"My guide said to imagine big boulders on those paths leading away from the open door and to see my "boon" (I had to look it up..it means prayer answered or a gift) just past the obstacles. He said to use my mind to make the boulders roll away off the path. I had alot of fun with this and could see the heavier ones move slowly to one side or the other and I got really good at making the little rocks skitter off to the side like scattering bugs. Path clear! Voila!" ~Karla

If anyone else who worked this project would like to make a comment, feel free to do so and I'll add your experiences and input to this page as well.
