The Power of Attention (Stop Worrying)

Take charge of your consciousness!

Life does not flow to us, it flows through us, and when that is seen clearly we cease to give any external, created things, any power.

But as long as there’s a belief in something external that we think has power and authority over us (and that will bring to us what we desire and need) we invite suffering into our lives.

Any beliefs in duality creates suffering and limitations, but as those are let go of, we are free to experience life as it really is. 

Most people are unaware of the innate power that we all have and that we all use all the time, either constructively or destructively.

The power within can be used for good or bad, but the power is still only one; it’s how we use it that determines how we experience life, and how we perceive it (which eyes we choose to look through) comes by our thoughts, attitudes and beliefs.

It doesn’t really matter if a belief is ‘beautiful’; if you for example believe that a prayer to an angel will help you solve a problem in your life, then it might (or it might not), but by believing in an external source of power you’re making yourself small by thinking there is something outside of yourself that is able to help as if you were helpless.

You are giving your power away by not realizing that the power you’re speaking and praying to is merely an aspect of yourself. 

The same with any kind of external powers that people turn to; if you believe in horoscopes you might live with the belief that this year your relationships will suck because this or that planet is out of alignment, or you check your weekly horoscopes to see if your business will finally take off, or if you will find love, or whatever it may be. 

This is all about giving your power away to planets and stars, fairies and angels, or whatever your thing might be (even a “God”), all the while they merely exist as beliefs or ideas in your mind and all beliefs are somehow limiting or restricting; they are all projections of  the authority we all have within us onto something outside of us.

These are just a few examples; take any belief and look at it closely and see for yourself and see if there is any truth at all to them.

Dissect them, investigate them and see if you can find one single belief that is not somehow projecting the power that belongs to you onto something outside of yourself. 

The power that created this universe is in you, and everything you experience is in you; it is you. 

Everything you need is within you and you can at any time turn within and ask the power that you are for anything you want to know or understand and it will show you, and the more you acknowledge it as the only power the more power and wisdom will be yours.

You can go to it with any problems, anything, and it will show you the way.

Believe in your own power, in your own ability to make decisions, to choose that which resonates with you and nothing less than that. 

Be bold and ask yourself:

“If I was God, what decision would I make?”

The Truth is that you are God and God obviously only wants that which is true and good.

(Because everything in nature grows, develops and expands, it never goes backwards). 

Duality invites worry while Oneness with the Power within gives us the power to overcome any difficulties.

The worried mind thinks of things that are not true and it makes us feel helpless and restricted as if something external is pushing us around, that’s what duality does.

But life is not like that! Fears and worries are false notions and beliefs that has no place in reality.

Every urge you have is the urge of God to express itself more through you and it always wants to move upward and forward.

If you’re hungry Life (God) wants to eat, if you’re thirsty Life wants to drink, if you’re broke life wants to prosper; the desire within you is always God’s own desire.

And if our attention would wander towards that which is life-affirming instead of looking at the mere ‘facts’ of life (conditions and circumstances) we would all do so much better and enjoy our lives more but most people ignore to look at the truth which is the desire and not the problem.

The mind can’t contain two ideas at the same time, it can only have faith or worry because it can’t think of two things at the same time, and here’s where our power lies; in the ability to choose where our attention is going to be.

Do I wish to be confident and feel secure in my decisions in life, or will I continue introduce fear and worry into my life by believing that I’m a victim of circumstances?”

The Higher Truth will wipe out the lower facts if you let it.

How?

– Realize that worry is an irrational thought.

– Take any worry you have right now and ask yourself if is’s really real, ask yourself where it comes from, if it has any real power, and you will soon be able to laugh at the whole thing.

– Reject the appearance of things (conditions and circumstances), withdraw you attention from it all and go within, knowing that the right solution to any issues your facing is to be found in your own being and that is can only come to a mind that is calm. 

– Say to the fears and worries: “This doesn’t move me one bit, I only agree with Truth and therefor no fear can touch me”.

We can only ever handle things right now in this moment, and most of the time our worries are completely irrational and the more we give those irrational fears power (by believing in them and giving them emotional fuel) the more we’re just reinforcing their apparent power in our lives and we feel stuck or stagnant, unable to move forward.

Fear is paralyzing while faith is a force that moves us upwards and onwards. 

Every time you’re saying “I can’t do this, its too difficult” you’re denying your own divinity; you’re denying your own innate power and wisdom.

You are basically saying that “God can’t do it, it’s too difficult for God”.

Think about it!

In reality Life wants you to move forward, to overcome, to rise and to achieve great things, it is absolutely able to help you.

Within you is a power that can help you overcome any condition, any situation, so affirm now boldly that you are in touch with the wisdom and power within and that you trust its intelligence to show you the path forward. 

Say these things to yourself every day, affirm these Truths about yourself and you will be compelled to take certain steps – trust that you will understand the leads that comes to you, trust yourself to take the necessary steps that you are shown, trust that you can do it –

Remember this Truth: that you have the whole universe backing you up!

None of us is held back, but what happens when the feeling of restriction comes over us is that we’re too focused on outer facts instead of eternal truths.

Whenever attention wanders away your ideal (which is the solution/answer) immediately break the chain of thoughts and bring yourself back to peace by affirming Truth and the negativity will lose its power.

Realize that you give them power by indulging in them, so when you stop indulging and engaging yourself in fearful thoughts their power will cease too.

The reality of you is God.

I AM, is God.

You are that power (we all are) so you are bound to succeed and thrive once you know this.

Move forward with confidence and faith in yourself.

Have faith in victory!

The only blocks we have are those in our minds; false beliefs in our minds

Acknowledge the power within you as the only power there is and things will begin to move in the right direction for you in all areas of life.

Do not remain confused, fearful or frustrated, do not continue polluting the sanctuary within (the Kingdom of heaven is within you) with worries and doubts.

Use your mind constructively, think aliveness, vitality, energy!

Boldly claim your power back and begin to call on it by going within, and know that every urge that comes from your heart (the desires of improvement and upward movement in life) all comes from God; it is God who want’s those things, and therefor you’re bound to succeed.

It wants what you want – it’s your partner and with God you can’t fail. 

It’s a partner but not a dualistic partner – realize that you are it.

Just as you ‘partner’ with your intuition, or ability to hear, or your heartbeat, in this way it is your partner.

There is no need to build shrines for it, or to worship or to beg and plead to it , but to be one with it.

No need to impress it by special rituals and wordings, only be sincere and be yourself, that’s all. 

Promise yourself that from this day on, you will keep your attention on the things that really matters (the Truth) and that you will stay in the Light, because that’s where you belong!

The whole session felt as if it was operating on another level

If you can trust one thing in your life right now, trust Maria. You can trust her with your heart and soul. It’s hard to explain, the whole session felt as if it was operating on another level. I’ve never had that kind of experience before. It just felt so much bigger than I anticipated. I can tell you with absolute honesty and conviction that having a session with Maria is life-changing!

Something happened within me that I cannot explain

After our session, something happened within me that I cannot explain nor would it even make sense to anyone. There was a part of me that felt my being been taken over by a real peacefulness that I’ve never encountered before. Sounds odd but it’s the truth.

I needed help in getting my life back

From the first sentence you spoke directly related to what I was going through, I felt so uplifted and light. It still blows me away when I think about it now! Never once did I feel judged, or uncomfortable in any way. I feel like this heavy weight of negativity has fallen away from me and I couldn’t get those awful feelings back if I tried. I can’t stress enough what a gift it is to be able to work with somebody like Maria. Talk about amazing grace!

I have never felt more aligned to my true self

Maria’s awareness of energies and the conditions of the mind are truly impressive. She knows exactly what’s going on. She is so attuned to other peoples’ energy that she just knows where you’re at. After working with her I have never felt more alive and aligned to my true self.

Andrew B, San Diego, CA, USA

It was more than I could ever hoped for or expected

My experience with Maria was more than I could ever hoped for or expected. I had such a positive experience working with her. I feel like a huge weight have been lifted and I have so much more perspective on what I have been struggling with. She cleared up my energy and I feel more myself, more at peace and all around better mentally and emotionally since my sessions with her.

Her unique ability to read your state helped me to breakthrough

Maria’s intuitive abilities have been instrumental to the personal growth I’ve experienced as a result of working together. I’ve had HUGE shifts in my beliefs. Her undivided attention, presence and unique ability to read your state helped me to breakthrough and release old patterns and replace them with new self-empowering practices that have truly shifted my life. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone. I am forever changed and forever grateful!

Maria is leading people to a new way of being

Maria is changing the world by her presence. She’s leading people to a new way of being. She’s rare because she’s able to see where you are at in your journey and can show you the way forward. I feel so incredibly grateful that she has been a companion during this time of change. If you feel drawn to connect with Maria I encourage you to move forward with confidence.

Maria THANK YOU. Sometimes just by connecting with you even briefly gives me instant clarity, it’s really magical, thank you so much. I trust your guidance so much, I’m just so grateful!

You are truly a gift to us all!

I can’t even begin to express how much I have gained internally after my session with you. You have been an instrument of peace in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

– Owen, USA

The feeling of peace and freedom is priceless

With only that one session and the healing she carried out, I’ve been without grudges, feelings of being hurt or anything on those lines. This feeling of peace and freedom is priceless. Maria is beyond amazing. Had I not experienced it myself, I would probably not believe it. I recommend anyone who is trying hard to be truly free and really start walking down the path of self fulfillment and happiness to book a session with her.

I’ve never had a conversation like that before

I just wanted to say thank you so much again for our session yesterday, I’ve never had a conversation like that before and it was truly amazing. I could feel weight lifted as we were talking and for the first time my mind did not try to make sense of things, it was all truly felt in the heart space.

Val, Melbourne, Australia

Can’t recommend her enough!

Working with Maria was one of the best investments I ever made in myself. I’ve seen immediate shifts in my energy as well as learned to work with my own energy and mind. It has been one of the single most transformational experiences of my life. Can’t recommend her enough!

– Chris, USA

Could not more highly recommend

Maria is the real deal. You will sense it the moment you lay eyes on her. She offered much, much more than I’ve derived from other teachers; highly specific and personal recommendations. It is as though I got a crash graduate course from spirit. Could not more highly recommend!

Catherine Rondeau, Westport, Connecticut, USA

I had a complete turnaround to my situation

The distance healing was amazing. I had a complete turnaround to my situation so many thanks for helping me transform something I had lost hope about. It’s a miracle and the outcome could not have turned out better! If you want to see a real shift not just psychological but spiritual shift, then Maria is the lady to see. I am so glad I found you!

– Sophie P

My life has changed dramatically

Since plugging in to your words of wisdom my life has changed dramatically. You pointed me in the right direction and that gave me courage to continue moving through whatever process I may find myself in and the ability to take refuge in the truth within me.

 I am so glad that I reached out to you

Maria, you are truly godsend. I cannot describe how happy I am. I have no idea what you did and how you did, but I am truly grateful to you. My words in this email cannot thank you enough. Today is the first day that I woke up feeling as if I am ready to take on the world. I am so glad that I reached out to you. I am truly grateful to you. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family!

Mark Neely, Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA

I cannot believe what you were able to achieve in one session

I don’t really know where to start. I find myself at a loss for words. All I can say to you is Thank You. This was unlike any healing session that I have ever been in and I say that from the bottom of my skeptical, over analytical heart who had literally tried everything one could think of. I cannot recommend you enough to other people, you are a gift. I also cannot believe what you were able to achieve in one session, to me it is groundbreaking. Thank you!!!

Rosie Bebawi, Marbella, Spain

My life has radically changed for the better

I finally know my worth. I feel so different now, I feel lighter, happier and more self confident and it’s easy to let go of people and situations that don’t serve me. I treasure the time I spend talking with Maria and look forward to my sessions with her. There has been big changes in my life, synchronicities showing up like magic and I’m constantly blown away at the business and opportunities that I’m attracting. My life has radically changed for the better after I met Maria.

— Robin, New York, USA

A calm came over me

I could feel the tension leaving my body and a calm came over me by just being in her presence. Everything flows so naturally with her and my life is more beautiful and I feel at peace knowing I have her by my side. I feel blessed to have her in my life.

Cecilia, Stockholm, Sweden

More transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried

I highly recommend Maria! I don’t even recognize the person who started working with her a few months ago. Maria clearly sees what is blocking, stopping or limiting you. Working with her has been more transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried. There have been profound shifts in the way I see myself and the world, so many shifts in my energy and life. I find myself so much lighter and freer. Thank you Maria!

Britt, Marbella, Spain
