What’s on your love alter?

August 11th, 2009

Dear Soulmate Manifesters,

Since Arielle has been on vacation, she asked me to share with you how to utilize feng shui, altars and shrines to help manifest your soulmate. Her book, The Soulmate Secret, touches on these important tools that are available for us to co-create our lives. As many people know, where intention goes, energy flows. Because of how energy functions, we are each engaged in co-creation with the Life Force. If you want to manifest your soul mate, you need to set the intention for it to be so. Setting an intention is like speaking to the Divine through a megaphone: it gets the message across more clearly. This is the true magic behind creating an altar or shrine, which are incredible spiritual tools because they anchor our feelings and thoughts so we become very clear and specific about what we want.

The bedroom is an important sacred space, as it is usually where you spend the most time in your home. This sacred space and how it is decorated and arranged is especially important to manifesting your soul mate. Intentions made here resonate strongly through your personal energy field. In terms of manifesting your soul mate, what intention do you have for this sacred space? If you want to manifest a more active love life or initiate a romantic relationship, energy enhancements and specifically designed altars can assist you in anchoring these intentions.

This room is an excellent place for an altar or shrine because you will see it first, when rising in the morning, and last, when going to bed at night. To your psyche these are significant moments when the body makes an organic and natural internal shift. In the morning we “start our engines” so to speak. In the evening, we slow down, rest and relax from the day’s activities.

Whether your bedroom is located in the Marriage and Relationship quadrant of the Feng Shui Bagua, or not, it is the preferred location for an altar or shrine dedicated to manifesting your soul mate.

Tips for a simple shrine or altar in your bedroom:

Whether you decide to create a vision board, or want to establish a small altar, it is important to cleanse and sanctify the ambient energy of the surrounding space. Energy and space clearing techniques include: first de-cluttering the space; cleansing yourself; and then utilizing any of the following practices: smudging, bells (and/or drums), holy water, and if you are trained – a pendulum for clearing energies.

Next, gather pictures and items that resonate deeply with your vision of romance and your potential partner. They can be inspirational, practical, decorative, symbolic or all four. You may want to utilize and balance the aspects of the 5 elements of feng shui – water; metal; earth; fire and wood.Balance the qualities of yin and yang (feminine and masculine attributes) with color, sound, and scents.

Other ideas are: talismans, gem stones, totems, inspirational quotes, cards and poems, favorite and natural objects, and sacred-mystical symbols and artifacts that resonate love, partnership and romance to you.

Keep in mind visual reminders of couples and pairs.

Once you have gathered your soul mate manifesting ingredients, assemble and bless them. Chose a piece of material to serve as an altar cloth and drape the fabric over a flat surface to create a consecrated space. Pick colors, patterns and textures that resonate with your intention. Place your objects ‘intentionally’. When you are finished, close your eyes and tune-in to your intention. Do one of Arielle’s feelingizations exercises to anchor your soul mate intention.

Remember that this process does not have to be done in one day. It can be a living altar that you tend to on a daily basis or weekly basis – adding to or removing objects as you like.

You can learn more about the art of shrine and altar crafting in my book: Creating Home Sanctuaries with Feng Shui: Sacred Spaces, Altars, and Shrines . This book will easily guide you through a seven-stage process for building personal retreats, altar and shrines within your home.

Many blessings,

BIG LOVE: “Secrets from Soulmates Arielle & Brian”

August 11th, 2009

ari-bri
Dear Arielle & Brian,

I have been fortunate enough to come across your recent work, The Soulmate Secret. The guidance you provide is sound and amazingly simple. The ideas suggest much of what the Hindu religion teaches, of which I am a faithful follower. I find it very refreshing!

I hope to further seek your insight on a question that may innately seem contrary to what you are trying to teach in your book, but plagues me nonetheless. As I was reading, I kept wondering to myself, why are there individuals whom love seems to elude, but then there are others who–without the use of feng shui, living as if, or any of the other suggestions you offer–just find, with minimal to no effort, what most of us are searching for? At the risk of sounding ungrateful, it is frustrating and unfair to know that without having done anything wrong, someone like myself is put in the position of constantly wanting something that just falls into many others’ laps.

I have discussed the issue at great lengths with a few of my close friends, and while comforting and supportive, there has been little progress in my journey towards coming to terms with this disparity and understanding it for what it is. I am hoping you might be able to find a moment to share with me your thoughts on the matter.

I do appreciate your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

Regards,

Mallika


Hi Mallika,

We think the simple answer is Karma. Please continue to be grateful for your beauty, intuition and intelligence and TRUST that there is good reason why it isn’t “easy” and “know” that YOU DO have the power to manifest the love of your life. Also be patient and know that you are not in charge–SPIRIT is and it does not operate in our time/space dimension.

We would suggest focusing more on your own personal growth, nurture more and more self love and “FEELING’ what it will be like when that Beautiful, Aware, Conscious, Loving Man shows up for you in such a big way that it will immediately dissolve any time to wonder or worry about what other people are doing with their love lives–you will be having too much fun living out your own dreams.

Mallika, please know we’re your biggest fans and that we’re holding a powerful loving intention that your Soulmate is nearby and your hearts will connect soon.

Wishing you love, laughter and magical kisses,
Arielle and Brian

The BIGGEST Mistake Women Make with Men

August 3rd, 2009

The BIGGEST Mistake Women Make with Men (without even realizing it!)

Gina is a great coach. She’s smart, beautiful, and successful. She’s well traveled and well respected. She has great friends. Gina’s life is full.

Gina loves to make people feel special. She loves sharing ideas and giving advice.

When Gina meets a man she likes, she gives him phone calls, little gifts, and often her body without asking for anything in return.

Gina is a generous woman.

Gina thinks by giving more, she’ll be more appreciated and loved. (Her friends adore her.)

But guess what?

Gina’s giving is preventing her from getting what she wants most…a successful, intimate romantic relationship.

Gina thinks the more she gives to a man, the more he will appreciate her and want her. Gina is sadly mistaken.

Little boys may appreciate what Gina offers, but a real man does not want a generous woman. No matter how much he says he does.

Oh, he will snack for a while. (Is there a man among us who doesn’t enjoy free treats?)

But he won’t fall in love.

So when Gina gives more by doing for him, performing for him, giving him ideas and advice, he doesn’t love it. He resents it. He finds it disrespectful.

And ultimately, he leaves.

Most men do not wake up in the morning and thank God for sending a woman to tell him what to do.

Men cannot fall in love with women who give too much.

Men fall in love with women who love themselves first and know how to give back in appreciation.

Men must “do good” to “feel good”.

Women must “feel good” to “do good”.

(Think about this for a moment.)

If you are “doing good” for someone without “feeling good” about it, you are giving too much. (Unless of course, you are a man.) (There are many “men” in women’s bodies.)

When we give equally to a man, we neutralize the chemistry.

When we give more, we block intimacy.

When we give less and appreciate what he offers, we fall in love.

So the next time you want to give to a man you like…your date, your husband, your teenage son…

Ask yourself, “Am I giving too much?”

If the answer is “yes”, then stop what you are doing (or saying) and wait for him to give you something. (It could be a compliment, a dinner invitation or a piece of advice, whatever…)

Then say “thank you”.

It can be uncomfortable to receive what a man has to offer. (Especially since it will never be how or what you would give.) (Ever.)

But it is important to acknowledge him and say “thanks”. (At the very least, he is giving you information about who he is.)

When you stop giving too much and learn to appreciate and respect what a man can give…you will be rewarded! (Big time!)

Are You in the “Way” of Love?

August 3rd, 2009

Dear Soulmate Manifesters,

Greetings! I’m Carol Allen, relationship coach and Vedic astrologer. Arielle and her soulmate, Brian, are on vacation so she’s graciously asked me to share with you some of what I’ve discovered in my almost two decades of working with single women looking for their BIG LOVE (as Arielle calls it…).

Sadly, I see the same things needlessly stop otherwise fantastic singles again and again.

So perhaps you’ve noticed these issues in your own love life:
1. You don’t TRULY believe that your dream partner can be found and will want you, too.

2. You aren’t TRULY on a MISSION to make your dreams of love come true, thinking it should all magically “work out” – so you take too little action, or the wrong action.

3. You let the pain of things not going the way you’d hoped eclipse the vision of what you want, causing you to spiral back through #1 and #2…
Any of that sound familiar?

Well, here’s the good news – all of that can change with just one thing – INFORMATION. Seriously, the right information is the key to everything you want. But most people don’t have a clue what to do to change their single status, so they run on the wrong assumptions, fears, and outmoded ideas causing them to make choices and engage in behaviors that then virtually guarantee they’ll stay single.

You need to know things like:
- The top four places women meet their husbands.
- The top two reasons men stop calling.
- The #1 mindset you MUST have to create attraction.
- How to tell if a guy is right for you by date #2, before you’ve lost your heart…

I’ve put this and so much more into a CD/DVD program that I promise will make a massive, positive difference in the way you meet, date, and mate with men. Best of all, Arielle is one of three amazing guest speakers sharing her soulmate secrets for manifesting love, and some of her favorite success stories. (She ROCKED the house…)

It’s great you’re turning to resources like Arielle for inspiration and support. You truly can have all that you desire, you just need to believe it, go on a “love mission” making the right effort, and keep the faith no matter what…

Wishing you BIG LOVE!

Carol Allen
