Tools to support the co-creation process
An important part of the co-creation process is asking for assistance from Spirit. Here are four tools we can use to communicate our intention and our vision to the Universe. These tools spread the energy and the resonance of what we’re looking to attract. And they’re fun – so they help build our enthusiasm and give us momentum to move forward.· Vision boards.

Co-creating together with Spirit
The co-creation process is a blend of our masculine and feminine energies together with assistance from Spirit. At some steps in the manifestation cycle, we use our masculine energy to take action and exert our will; at other points along the way, we use our feminine energy to imagine and hold space. (See Another way to manifest.)

Setting an intention for the new year
Each of us is the creator of our life. What would you like to spend your time, your energy, your attention creating in 2011?In looking at this question for myself recently, I decided I wanted more of the positive energies of freedom and joy in my life in the next year.
