Welcome!!

Welcome to my blog and thank you for dropping in! There are three activities in which I have been indulging in constantly for the past 9 or more years. Reading books on psychology, the mind-body connection, nutrition, different religions, healing practices, wealth and manifesting dreams. I have been working on bettering myself and doing loads of writing! Except that with all the writing I have being doing I am still trying to finish a book! So I've decided to take the plunge and write my own blog. This way, while I overcome my tendencies to procrastinate I can impart some ideas that I have learnt by book or by experience about random subjects that come to my awareness. Nothing in this blog is absolute truth (except one thing) as truth is subject to perception.

TRUTH: You already know, all you need to know, to be, do and have anything you want.


So take what you like and leave the rest. I hope you enjoy the articles-Tarryn.

ABRACADABRA- How To Get On The Fast Track To Wealth

Abracadabra comes from the ancient Aramaic word Avrakadabra meaning 'I create as I speak'. With that in mind lets see how your words can draw in your abundance using The Law Of Attraction!

The only thing that can give power to your desires is your belief. The key to unlocking the power of the spoken word is the belief you have in the words you speak.You could say, 'I am rich, I have an endless supply of money' but if you don't believe it, it will never show up for you! So you might be thinking that you know it isn't true! You know you have very little in your account because you have your bank slip in your hands. Good point! but that is only half of the truth.

What is money the symbol of? Abundance. What does abundance mean? A lot of something. Are you abundant? Absolutely!! Do u know that if you are reading this then you are a very rich person because you own a computer or because you have a job which allows you use of the Internet? In some parts of the world you are super rich! Do you know that your very material make-up is that of abundance? 50 trillion cells! How many strands of hair on your head? up to 140,000! what about molecules? I think you get the picture.

You are also abundant because you have an unlimited supply of natural resources, sunshine, air, water etc. The universe itself is abundant! count the stars, count the flowers, count the animals, counts the grains of sand, count the litres of water. You can't can you?And that is because you are living in absolute abundance.

The problem is that you are not looking and appreciating the abundance, you are only looking at the lack. And your ingratitude is keeping you from experiencing what you think you need to experience, and having what you think you need to have in order to be happy. Ingratitude is a vibration and The Law Of Attraction states that what you focus on (vibrate with) you get! So now that you can see abundance from a different perspective and have opened your field of AWARENESS you can say to yourself, 'I am rich!'  *This is very important- Remember that what YOU do not allow in your awareness you CANNOT experience. You can never experience something that you are not aware of (think about it)* You now know that this is a true statement just like, the lack of money showing on your bank statement is temporarily true. True and untrue are two sides of the same coin. You get to choose which side of the coin you want to see. Your words have power, your words backed by your emotions have greater power. You can change your words and emotions by looking for evidence that you already are, what you most want to be.

The Journey Of A Lifetime

Picture taken by Massimo Bartolucci
Sometimes the journey of a lifetime begins in the moment we decide that enough is enough and in that very decision we call upon all the forces of the universe. The very decision sets things in motion,  awakens passions and talents, moves us to places, arranges 'special meetings' and summons forth legions of helpers. Things start moving along smoothly yet the journey is not predictable, the path is filled with twists and turns, every encounter an adventure waiting to happen and life goes from dull to miraculous.

It makes me wonder....If everything moved into place the instant I made a definite decision. Is it the decision itself that holds the power? Is that all we need, to propel our lives forward in any direction we want; a definite decision? A decision made from the heart, not just from the mind. I've made many decisions from my mind that proved futile, but my decisions from my heart always moved into my reality through the avenues of magic.

When I have made a heart felt decision my life transformed before my very eyes revealing a life I could not have imagined. Everyday had something new to offer, every person I met had something important to tell me, moving me closer to the realization of what I wanted.

Could that be the clue for all of us? That reality manifests from our deepest beliefs and heart based decisions.

I think so, at least when I look at my life the evidence is overwhelming! And when I have these experiences I know that they are not ordinary I feel the workings of something greater than myself.

Sometimes I forget this power and I get numbed back into the comfortable dullness of everyday life, life becomes a struggle as I am torn between wanting something and not thinking that I have the capabilities or power to achieve it. That is until I get to a point were I am so tired of the struggle that I decide there and then; enough is enough and just like that, some switch somewhere in this cosmos gets switched on and my life starts moving forward again.

If the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, then that one step has to be your decision, then sit back and watch as your life takes you on an adventure ride with twists and turns you could not have imagined leading you directly to the heart of your dreams.

The Secret

What is the law of attraction?


The hit movie and book The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes has taken the world by storm. The book promises something that may at first glance seem pure fantasy. The workings of the over-active imaginations of new age followers. But what is the Law of Attraction? And how does it affect our lives?

As stated in the book The Secret, the LOA is a universal law just like the law of gravity. And even though we do not fully understand how it works (just like we do not understand how exactly electricity works) we can learn how to work with the law to create the changes we want in our lives whatever they may be.

The LOA, is best grasped by using some examples. Has it ever happened to you that one day you find yourself thinking of someone you have not seen in a long time, and you happen to run into them, or they call you that day? Or has it ever happened to you, that someone has given you a gift, and it was exactly what you wanted even though you had not told anybody about it? We’ve all experienced these types of situations, or have heard of them. And we all have felt the thrill, of the moment when it seems as if our thoughts have materialized before our very eyes!!

The LOA states that what you think about with emotion and belief you will attract into your life no matter if it is bad or good.

This law has been said to be known for centuries and has been taught for centuries by all religious discipline. So it is not new stuff it’s actually ancient! We have all heard the words ‘Ask and you shall receive. Knock and the door shall be opened unto you’. One of my favourites is from Matthew 21:22 ’Whatsoever things ye ask for in prayer (thought), believe that he have received and ye shall have those things ye say’ That sums up the LOA. Ask, believe, receive. It is really as simple as that.

I have known of the LOA for many years, but it is only when I watched The Secret that I grasped its full power.

Some of the things I've manifested:

The Secret video, books, a GHD flat iron, a cup of tea, clothing- these are some of the small things.

It was my dream to live in Italy for longer than a year to get to know the people. I wanted to live in luxury (I was unemployed). I had never before been oversees! I set a date to go to Italy, June of the following year. Within two months I went twice. The second time I stayed for almost 2 years. I lived in absolute luxury in 4 star hotel on a beautiful estate. Which included all creature comforts such as room service, daily massages, a personal trainer. I rubbed shoulders with Italian celebs from all sectors; actors, footballers, politicians, T.V presenters, musicians, song writers, even a Noble Laureate.

While there I really wanted to go to Sicily. A few weeks later I was going to Sicily for a week!! I stayed in a 4 star hotel, ate divine food, was the guest of wonderful people, and had my daily massages.

I attracted my wonderful partner. Even before I met him I wrote down his name on a piece of paper, and stuck it into my wish box. He is my Prince Charming, and even looks like the Prince Charming in my fairy tale books! Tall, blond hair and blue eyes. The law says, be SPECIFIC!

And the last big thing I manifested was two business class tickets for my boyfriend and myself, back to Cape Town! Wow!! What a trip!

Each one of these things or experiences, I have never asked anyone directly for. They were my dreams, my thoughts. I just said with conviction that they would happen. And it did!

There are however things that I have wanted for a long time which I have not yet manifested. But they are my manifesting blocks. I will speak about that later…Right now let’s get you manifesting!!

How to use the secret:

There are 3 parts to the LOA: Ask, believe, receive.

Ask: This is easy your asking is just your deep desire. Your wish, something you long for. You don’t have to ask out aloud. However there the is a way to ask. State your wish in the present tense. As if you have received or are in the process of receiving what you want. ‘ …..is now coming to me’ or ‘I am going to Spain!’ Now lets power charge that statement. Let’s imagine you just won the lottery. What would you be feeling at the moment? which emotion would be over-riding your system. Close your eyes! It would be the feeling of extreme gratitude. Get to this place and you can manifest within milliseconds. So to really charge your affirmation say: ‘Thank you!!! Thank you that such and such is now mine’ ‘Wooohooo!’ or you could just say a sincere ‘Thank you’.

Believe: This is where the LOA gets a bit tricky. It is very difficult for us to believe what we cannot see. We live in a world that encourages and rewards left brain thinkers, logical people. And quite frankly believing something that has not happened yet and acting as it were true is not very..well..LOGICAL. I encourage you to read stories of other peoples success with the LOA. Go to the secret website http://www.thesecret.tv/ or other sites. The Secret teachers teach that you should first try to attract something small. Something that you will have no inner resistance to attracting. Something small but specific that you would definitely recognize when you see it. Let’s say for example a certain book, or a specific bag. Once you have manifested this , your belief in the process will grow. If you are religious, what does your religion teach you about faith. If you aren’t very spiritually inclined, then do some scientific research. You would be surprised what the Sciences are discovering. Find out about Quantum Science and Noetic science. We always think that if something is true we would know about it. Well if you do just a little research you’ll discover that this information has always been known, just not by a great mass of people. Any truth or information seems crazy at the beginning until it receives popularity. You would have been killed before if you’d said that the earth is round! Why? Because people believed their physical senses to determine reality. !!

Receive: This is basically putting yourself in alignment with what you want. How would you feel if you knew that what you wanted was now on its way to you? You wouldn’t be worrying or calculating. You wouldn’t be thinking , ‘How is this going to come about?’ You’d let go. You’d relax and you’d be happy knowing that the situation is resolved. Think about what you’d look like in your new car! Think about how you are going to spend your money. Think about what it what feel like to be healthy and fit!

Most of the time, I wouldn’t have to do any actions to manifest what I wanted. For the small things, it seemed enough to think about them. But sometimes you will have to take inspired actions. If you are scheming and manipulating to get what you want then you won’t manifest with much results. Why? because your actions are motivated by fear. These types of actions are based in fear and not empowerment. And the LOA states that like attracts like.

Right action, is the actions you take in preparing for the eventuality of what is about to happen. It may be as small a step as buying yourself a new suit to start as your first day at work! I believed that I was going to Italy, and so I went onto the Internet, I made friends with Italian people, knowing that I would like to have some contacts when I get there. I started studying the language, because I knew I needed to communicate. I checked out the tourist sites. I familiarized myself with this place I wanted to call home. That’s it!! I wanted it, I came to believe in the possibility of it, and I took small actions towards my dream. I did whatever I could from my present position.

Blocks to manifesting:

Now this would be the easiest thing to do for anybody on this earth if it wasn’t for one thing. Our beliefs. If you are doing all the three step, or find your struggling to concentrate. It is because you have an unconscious block to manifesting that which you want.

Is money what you really want, to feel secure and be free? Yet you always seem to be living from paycheck to pay check? Examine what beliefs you hold, that have been passed down to you from your parents or family members. Maybe the belief that life is hard? Money doesn’t grow on trees? You have to work hard to have a little success? Did you believe that people who had money were lucky to be born in that family? Or do you believe that they have money because they have the right connections?

What about Prince Charming? Do you long to be loved by a man who treats you like a princess? Or have a relationship where there is mutual respect? What are your beliefs about Prince Charming? That he only exists in fairy tales?
How about the fact that you maybe don’t think you are that wonderful to begin with! I mean with all your imperfections, what Prince would want you? Do you see how we contradict ourselves by what we want and say we want. With what we believe and what we say we believe. When you cannot manifest something it is because you are contradicting yourself. Your beliefs, words and actions are not congruent.

The only thing needed to manifest is to be congruent on all levels.

Another tip to manifesting is gratitude. Be grateful for what you have. Be grateful that the power exists and be grateful that, what you have asked for is now coming to you!!!!

FEEL IT, IT IS HERE!!! (South African slogan for the 2010 world cup soccer. It was a great success) No wonder why ;-)

Happy Manifesting!
