Dear Brilliant One: >> Here’s the AUDIO for today’s Transformation Tuesday. Think of your life transitions like a series of roadtrips.  You are here, now.  And things are changing. You’re in motion. You’re heading there. Even if you’re not sure where there is. Sometimes, in life transitions, that gap between here and there creates all kinds of stress and inner havoc. But if you reset your perspective and just think of your transitions like individual roadtrips from where you are to where you’re going in your next season, that stress can gradually transform into excitement. And that excitement can transform into fear-killing, wholehearted engagement with the subject matter of even your most feared, most unwanted and most daunting transitions. And then that wholehearted engagement is a super-quick hop to love: loving the adventures of your life, even when you started that particular roadtrip kicking and screaming. Because you’re really, always just on the way. And you’ll get there. Almost certainly.  How you’ll get there remains to be seen.  See, occasionally, there’s just a single route from here to there. But the vast majority of the time, that’s not the case. For most destinations in your life, there are literally millions of ways to get there. Millions of paths that could light up. And the looser you stay, the less attached you get to any one path? The more fun you have on the trip. The less fraught it is. The more cool stuff you see by the side of the road. The more side trips you take and discoveries you make and people you meet and art you buy and delicious food you get to sample, all along the way. The looser you stay, the more flexible you are when the Divine Detours show up. A Divine Detour is the kind of detour that happens when you have to veer around that tree trunk in the road, or you have to wait for the snow to melt, and you are suprisingly, delightfully, blissfully blessed by some event that only takes place because of that delay. Let me ask you something. What if … just what if… all delays were beneficial to you? Ok, well they are, so there’s that. I know that. But what if you knew that? And trusted it. And so you decided to appreciate even your mistakes, looking for the wonderful things that could be coming your way as a result of them. And what it you could do all of this trusting and looking for wonderful, happy accidents to come your way not just in retrospect, not just when you’re 90 or 120. But in real time. You can. When you realize that Divine Timing is real, And when you realize that that means all delays are actually to your benefit, And when you realize that this doesn’t just mean your delays are keeping you from a traffic accident or some other catastrophe… And when you realize that beneficial delays can include all sorts of blessings coming your way, all sorts of components of your dreams and callings lining up, all sorts of grooming and preparation for your callings happening not just all around you but also within you? That’s when you start feeling like you’re winning at life. Because then you can relax. Finally. You can stand down, turn off your high-alert. Your over-vigilance. You can turn off your scarcity and perfectionism and unworthiness stories because OH BY THE WAY: THEY’RE JUST GIVING YOU THE DELUSION OF CONTROL. They’re not controlling anything anyway. And from this relaxed, receptive, allowing state of being, it’s much easier to see the Divine Path — the perfect, Divinely-laid plan for your life, the opportunities you need to learn what your soul came here to learn, to shed the programming and lies of culture and to live in ever-increasing freedom, growth and joy — it’s much, much easier to see that Path light up before you, step by step. Magical step by magical step. In this state of openness and willingness, it’s much easier to feel skill and mastery in your transitions, because you can trust in Divine Order and in your own resilience, Genius and innate wiring for wellbeing. More and more, over time, you learn to trust in yourself to hear your own Inner Guidance, to get those Divine Downloads, and to act on them when they show up. And that’s when life begins to feel like a magical game where losing isn’t even possible. You can’t get it wrong. Takes the pressure off, doesn’t it? Head up + heart out, TNN

Dear Brilliant One:

>> Listen to the AUDIO of today’s newsletter.

Energy rises and energy falls. Some days you have a lot. Other days, meh.

But I’m here today with wonderful news: Your inner stores of energy — all the energy you’ll need to take the actions you want to take in life — they are fully renewable.

Contrary to popular belief, your energy is actually limitless.

Tapping into your vast inner reservoirs of energy is actually very simple. 

When you engage with activities and people who turn you on and light you up, do more of that.

When you engage with people or have experiences that drain you, do less.

No, seriously. 

Catch this principle: Depletion is always a sign that a necessary ending is ready to be made.

Maybe you need to stop engaging in that way with that person or that project or that topic.

Or maybe you need to put an end to the story you’re telling yourself about that person or project or topic.

Maybe you need to get more help. 

Or stop overgiving. Overdoing. Overdelivering. Overperforming. 

Stop undercharging.

Maybe it’s time to stop cramming so many things on your to-do list, heal your addiction to hurry and worry, and stretch out your timelines so you can “flow with the course of events in the same way that you dance to music, neither trying to outpace it nor lagging behind”, as Alan Watts so beautifully put it.

Or maybe it’s time to finally put an end to an old obligation that once gave you life… but now feels like “shackles on” (to quote Martha Beck).  

You have the right to outgrow things. 

Whatever the case may be, know this:

Life isn’t supposed to drain you

You did not come here to live in a state of chronic depletion or dread of the tasks before you.

I know this is controversial. In our culture, we’ve been telling the opposite story forever.

We tell the story that life is short and life is hard and the world is intense and adulting is really hard and the struggle is real.

Some of the most spiritual, conscious people on the planet are contributing to this storyline. 

We talk about energy vampires and avoiding narcissists and self-care and “learning boundaries” as though it’s so much more complicated than simply prioritizing how you feel first, and moving toward what feels good and away from what doesn’t. 

But it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

If you learn to let your Inner Guidance pull you toward energizing people, places, activities and things, even what seems like the most scarce resource of all — time itself  — starts to stretch and feel long and lavish.

Time stops feeling scarce when you know that:

• when you’re feeling good, 
• you’re fueled by inspiration, 
• you’re often in your Zone of Genius and 
• you’re not constantly forcing yourself to do things you hate?

Things that might have taken you 6 months to do only take you 6 hours to do.

And time stops feeling scarce when you realize that Divine Order and Timing are in your favor. 

Divine Order is lining up all the components of your callings, and that’s a process. 

It takes time. 

You are being groomed and prepared, and that takes time, too. 

You can trust and rely on this: Small things grow.

It is Universal law. You just plant the seed and make sure it gets nourished. Maybe you protect it from the bunnies. 

But you don’t have to watch it or track it or make it happen. 

You just plant the seed and let this Universe do what it does.

As quiet as it’s kept, time is actually on your side.

So, catch this principle, too: You can relax. 

I have it on great authority.

Let go of arbitrary time crunches. 

Let go of the sick habit of tracking your progress in life and deeming yourself to be behind where you should be,

Let things unfold in their own sweet time, which is still sometimes faster than you could have done with all your effort… and other times slower, but it’s always less depleting, less stressful and more beautiful, and more effective than you could have forced it to happen, hurried it to happen, or “made it happen”.

Oh… and time also feels way less scarce when you know you have the power to tap into the efficiency of inspiration and essentially create time by clearing depleting things from your physical space, your calendar space, your heart and your mind.

This creates space for flow. For inspired ideas to flow in, and for the energy to act on those ideas to flow in, too.

And catch this one last principle, Sabrina: There is nothing in this world as efficient as inspired action.

Create space for that.

P.S.: Creating space is the very first thing I teach my students to do anytime they want more of any type of resource to flow in, whether that resource be time, energy or even money. 

The week-long onramp for my six-week Sacred Money Archetypes program started last Friday , and my students are already taking some simple, baby action steps to create an “intentional vacuum” and prepare their hearts, minds and physical environments for a fresh influx of abundance.

My Sacred Money Archetypes Transformation Program is open for enrollment until 11:59 pm PT this Thursday, September 5th, and on Friday we begin our deep dive of self-discovery and releasing money blocks.

Dear Brilliant One,  Last week I launched a three-part video series to help you release your money blocks and get in deep, inner alignment so you can live in abundance and soul-level fulfillment. Video #1 is for you if you’re ready to release your money blocks: The 8 Hidden Money Blocks of High-Achieving Women Video #2 is fuel for elevating your money mindset: The 7 Alignments that Break the Trance of Scarcity And just today, I released Video #3, which connects all the dots.

In this video, I teach you how to use the Sacred Money Archetypes to find — and profit from — your unique, personal Zone of Genius. Part of the brilliance of learning and working with your Sacred Money Archetypes is that they shine light on your money shadows: your personal money challenges, touchy subjects, limiting inner narratives and your patterns of self-sabotage.Know what happens when you shine light on a shadow?  It dissolves. In the video, I tell the story of one of my own personal shadows that dissolved during a moment of total, instant clarity I had when I first started working with the Sacred Money Archetypes in my own life. Watch the video – or listen to it, like a podcast – and let me know how it lands for you.  Head up + heart out,

I’m Tara-Nicholle Nelson, the CEO of SoulTour.com and Founder of the School of Spiritual Strategy. At this stage of the game, I’ve worked with thousands of high-achieving women. So I have the perfect vantage point for pattern-spotting. And I’ve spotted some patterns I just can’t keep to myself any longer. I just filmed this video on the 8 hidden money blocks I see over and over again in the successful, purpose-driven women I work with.

>> You can access my free video training series here.<< These are the ways I see brilliant, purpose-driven women sabotage their own wealth-building potential… ways they build an invisible glass ceiling on their own incomes without even knowing they’re doing it.This is the first of three videos I’m releasing as a preview of my upcoming Sacred Money Archetypes intensive boot camp.

Brilliant One,  One of the things I miss about my sweet grandmother is her keen attunement to the seasons, especially when it came to keeping her house in order. She’d say: “It’s April! So it’s time to send the drapes to the cleaners!” Which… let’s just say April does not mean “clean the drapes” in my mind. Or she’d say: “It’s November, so I just finished off dusting off the top of the fridge!” Me (silently): “Have I ever dusted the top of my fridge?” I joke, but the truth is that this apple didn’t fall too terribly far from the tree.  I think in seasonal terms, too.  During the first few months of every year, I hit the ground running, taking action and building momentum on my vision for the year. In the Spring, I take a course or read up on some topic I’ve never explored before. And in the Fall, right around October, I start reviewing the year, celebrating what’s working and releasing what isn’t, and allowing a clear for the next year to come into focus. So what do I do during the Summer?  In my world, Summertime is for SELF-DISCOVERY.  In the Summer I assess, gut-check and soul-check myself and my life. I celebrate what’s working and see what’s out of alignment: I explore my gifts and strengths at a new level of depthI evaluate whether my values, identity, beliefs and actions are in alignment, so I can course-correct or shed what no longer serves meI take a frank, compassionate look at my habits, relationships, patterns… and the outcomes I’ve created, andI listen to my own Inner Guidance on what next steps feel natural, inspired and in the flow to me on my path of ever-increasing success, happiness and abundance.  This year, I’m sharing my “Summertime of Self-Discovery” with you.  I invite you to take my brand-new Sacred Money Archetypes® Quiz, which is proven to help you crack your personal money code and release your money blocks so you can start living the life of abundance and fulfillment you desire, at soul-level. >> TAKE THE SACRED MONEY ARCHETYPES® QUIZ << In other words, it’ll help you get your financial house in order. (My grandmother would be proud… of me and you.) One quick note: Don’t be afraid of what the Quiz will reveal.  It will surface your authentic, inborn gifts and motivations, so you can stand in your power and increase your income. And it will also reveal the shadow side of your money patterns, so you can stop being blindsided by these money blocks. You can expect to feel seen and heard when you take the Quiz, not judged or critiqued.  And also expect to feel resonance, as you get your own download of clarity and total, instant insight into why you do what you do when it comes to money.  >> TAKE THE SACRED MONEY ARCHETYPES® QUIZ << IMPORTANT NOTE: After you take the Quiz, you’ll be directed to a short video briefing on your #1 Sacred Money Archetype®.  And if you check your email right after that, you’ll find a full list of your scores on all 8 Sacred Money Archetypes®. When you take the Quiz, you’ll also receive some downloadable mantra cards and personal recommendations from me to you on how to start using this new self-knowledge to begin your journey into financial freedom and deep, soul-level fulfillment.

Brilliant One,

>> Listen to the AUDIOof today’s Transformation Tuesday Newsletter.

A couple weeks ago, I apparently sent my 20-month-old granddaughter to daycare with a copy of The Science of Being Greatin her backpack.

Which means shemust have put it in her backpack. 

This was especially hilarious because this book was published by Wallace Wattles in 1910.

I’m doing this thing where I let her pick my reading these days. 

So when she got home, I opened the book to see if there was anything relevant for us right now and… 

Here we go. From page one. I suspect you’ll find the resonance as stunning as I did:

YOU MAY BECOME GREAT

THERE is a principle of “power” in you at this very moment. By the intelligent use and direction of this principle, you can develop your own mental faculties.

YOU HAVE AN INHERENT POWER ALLOWING YOU TO GROW IN WHATEVER DIRECTION YOU PLEASE AND THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO YOUR POSSIBILITIES.

Nobody has become so great in any faculty that someone else cannot become greater. The possibility is in the original substance from which man and woman is made.

Genius is omniscience flowing into you. Genius is more than talent. Talent may only be the disproportionate development of one faculty over others. True genius is the union of man with spirit in the acts of the soul.

Great people are always greater than their deeds. They are in connection with a limitless reserve of power. And nobody knows where the boundary of mental powers lies. We do not even know if a boundary exists.

Like plants and trees, your purpose in life is growth. And there’s one big difference. Trees and plants grow automatically along fixed lines while you can grow at will. Trees and plants can only develop certain possibilities and characteristics while you can develop any power.

Nothing that you can think of is impossible to put in action. Nothing that you can imagine is impossible to realize.

And that’s all from page one of The Science of Being Great. 

When it comes to money and abundance, which are front of mind for so many people almost all the time, we are connected not just to a limitless reserve of Divine Power. 

We are not even limited to receiving the fruits of our action. In the masterful life we’re learning to live, the whole is much greater than the sum of our efforts, our work, our actions with this physical body. 

We are connected to all the resources of this Universe. 

We don’t even know all of the wonderful ways prosperity and abundance will flow to us if we allow it to. 

In the words of my teacher Florence Scovel Shinn, which you should feel free to repeat after me if you want to pre-pave your day, your week, your year, your life for happy surprises: 

“Unexpected doors fly open, unexpected channels are free, and endless avalanches of abundance are poured out upon me, under grace in perfect ways. 

All that is mine by Divine Right is now released and reaches me in great avalanches of abundance, under grace in miraculous ways.

I am linked with an endless golden stream of prosperity which comes to me under grace in perfect ways.”

Not in grindy ways.   

In perfect ways.

Under grace.

Unexpected.

Avalanches of abundance. Not just enough to barely scrape by. 

Avalanches.

Overflowing. 

That’s what’s coming your way. 

But you’ve gotta release some stuff in order to receive this stuff.

Release the need to know the date and time. 

Enjoy the journey. 

Enjoy the glorious life that is unfolding before you, all along the way.

Release the need to know “how” it’ll all happen. 

Enjoy the happy surprises, small and large. Enjoy the dots when they connect.

That’s what makes life feel magical.

Release the need to feel like you have to DO SOMETHING or you have to MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Enjoy the receiving and allowing.

Each of these “releases” will open your Pipeline wider and tune you to become even more receptive of inspiration, anyway. 

And that’s when you should take action. When you’re inspired to do so. That’s when all the best stuff happens, anyway. 

It is a point of mastery to know what resources are available to you and to simply consent to receive them, and to refrain from making it much more complicated than that.

It is a point of mastery to know that you already possess an All-Access Pass to all the resources of this Universe, and that you’ll have exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. 

Knowledge. Intelligence. Connections. Energy. Clarity. Love. Joy. Time. Money.

All of that.

It’s all your birthright, by virtue of being a child of the divine. 

That’s what you are.

It is a point of mastery to use your Spiritual VIP Parking Passand pull right into the you-sized space in the front row of the parking lot of your life, waiting for you to come out of the back rows, stop playing small and hiding in your shadows and show all the way up, soul on deck, all in, right up front.

Are you ready to claim your spot? I believe you are. 

And I declare over you that the Divine, Genius plan for your life is coming to be, now, by grace and in a wonderful way.

Head up + heart out,

TNN

P.S.: I’d love your help wrapping up the curriculum design for my new Sacred Money Archetypes ® program. It’s all about releasing your money blocks and learning how to stand in your value and power. 

Would you answer this two-question survey to help me make sure I’m covering everything? I just want to know what your #1 and #2 questions about money blocks, the Law of Attraction and self-discovery are. 

Thanks in advance. Here’s the link: https://taranicholle.typeform.com/to/EdtGKI

Brilliant One, >> Listen to the AUDIO of today’s newsletter. I’ve got a new little roommate these days: my 19-month-old granddaughter Londyn, aka Baby Genius, aka Baby Boss Lady.

You need to turn images ‘on’ in your email to see these photos Exhibit A: Yes. She’s really that cute. It’s beyond. I frequently call Londyn a Master Manifestor. And I mean it. My pugs are, too. All the small mammals of our planet are, really. When I sat down to write out the things about her and the other small mammals that empower them to flow the laws of the Universe in their favor, I started out in a very descriptive kind of way. They are light. Playful. And their desires are clear. Meaningful, to them. And they care not whether they are meaningful to anyone else. Pure. Unresisted. All of that makes them and the way they attract what they want seem magical. I mean, my granddaughter has been alive a full 19 months and she hasn’t made even one list, action plan or vision board yet. But when I sat with it a little longer, I realized that while these adjectives are helpful, it’s really the VERBS of life mastery, the actions involved in leveraging the Law of Attraction. The things “Master Manifestors” do and do not do that reveal the most powerful mindset shifts and lessons for those of us who want a life of flow and wealth, riches inside and out. Because the things the small mammals do that broadcast their laser-focused magnetic signals that call in the people, experiences and things they want are very different from what you and I have learned it takes to “make things happen”. They don’t hustle. They don’t crave. They don’t grasp. They don’t grind. They don’t even really “work” – they do take inspired actions that don’t feel like work to them. Interestingly, they do a lot of being. Leaving other people’s dramas right with those other people, not taking their stuff on. They do a lot of unfurling. They do a lot of falling apart… or being willing to, as they allow their emotions to have their career in their system and run their course teaching them whatever it is that they’re meant to teach. They spend a lot of their time in life “doing” verbs like: Laughing Practicing Downloading Accessing Aligning Broadcasting Tuning Receiving Praising Appreciating Reveling Refreshing Replenishing Allowing Re-sourcing, which my students know means reconnecting to Source. Resting Re-connecting Refueling And they STAND. They stand squarely in their own power and in their Zones of Genius, never forcing themselves to do what feels off or bad or “shackles on” (well, not until an adult human convinces them to). They stand in awe and wonder at the miracles of their own bodies and of this planet, just appreciating. Enjoying. Savoring. And they stand aside as the various components of what they want line up and light up before them, not needing to prove anything by acting or forcing unless and until inspiration strikes, and when it does they GO! Ultimately, the adults who can call themselves Master Manifestors also do a lot of releasing. Releasing shoulds. Releasing attachments. Releasing outgrown ideas. Releasing cultural programming. Releasing family traumas and patterns that no longer serve them. Releasing old wounds, by having the courage to see them and grieve them. Releasing Resistance that is long-practiced but false in terms of its power to limit us. And that brings us to one last, really important Verb of Attraction: Remembering. Knowing who you really are. Putting the pieces of all of that brilliance that you are back together after shedding the cultural and family and social programming of limitation. Re-member. Reset. Release. Receive. P.S.: I’m teaching a course next month on the Sacred Money Archetypes and the Law of Attraction.  Part of what’s hard about leveraging the Law of Attraction is that your specific personality and mindset determine which strategies and tools will work for you. That’s where your Sacred Money Archetypes come in. If you’d like to start understanding your own personal money code, gifts and roadblocks, take my new Sacred Money Archetypes Quiz, for FREE, here: soultour.com/sacredmoneyquiz I’ll share more soon about this exciting system of Archetypes and how you can use it in your own life for more freedom, more money and more joy.
