Chapter 1: Introduction

So you need a job! We’ve all been there Everyone needs to provide for themselves and their loved ones Unless you’re independently wealthy, you need to work for a living – to pay the bills, put food on the table, and enjoy the pleasures of life

You may be feeling a variety of emotions as you embark on your job search: anxiety, loathing, excitement, reluctance, or even that pit-of-the-stomach feeling you get right before you throw up Whatever you are feeling, accept the feeling as being okay, and know that things can only get better from here As you read through this book, you’ll discover how to turn these emotions around, and develop a spiritual approach in your quest for employment

You already know why you are seeking a job Some of the reasons may include:

I just lost my old job

I dislike my current job

I just finished school, and am entering the workforce

I currently have a part-time job, but I want (or need) a full-time one

I have been out of the workforce for some time, and am re-entering it

Does it really matter why you’re looking for a job? No, it doesn’t, because whatever your reason

is, the job won’t magically appear before you You have to take positive action to find it

Here are some of the actions you must take to get a job:

Identify the jobs you will pursue

Look through the want ads

Prepare a resume and cover letter

Send these documents to prospective employers

Respond to employer inquiries

Prepare for and attend job interviews

Follow up after the interview

Now this seems like “nuts and bolts” stuff, and it is But have you thought about how to take each of these actions to the next level? How can you gain an edge over your competitors in getting a job? And what does spirituality have to do with it?

The answer is simple: You can take these actions to a higher level by infusing each step in your job quest with spirituality and positive energy And that is what you’ll learn in this book – how

to use the “invisible edge” of spirituality to maximize your chances of getting a job

Here are some of the spiritual techniques you’ll use to get a job:

Chapter 2: First Steps–Examine Your Beliefs

Let’s start by asking some basic questions What is spirituality? And how does it differ from religion?

Many people were brought up believing in a certain religion, usually the religion of their parents Whatever religion it was, it had a certain set of beliefs associated with it For example, Christians believe in God and that there is a place called Heaven Buddhists believe in Karma and Rebirth (aka reincarnation.) One thing that most religions have in common is worship – acts of devotion that are directed towards one or more deities

Spirituality differs in that it is not tied to any one religion, and allows each individual to develop their own beliefs For example, a spiritualist may believe in an afterlife, without labeling or describing it He or she might believe in the connectedness of all things, instead of an all-

powerful deity

Spirituality does share an important commonality with religion though If you believe something

to be true, but it can’t be proven in the material realm, then you are said to have faith Faith is

basically just believing in an idea, and trusting it to be true Some say that faith believes in a positive outcome, while fear believes in a negative outcome But when you believe in something that is non-tangible or non-material, you have faith

Spiritualists develop their own beliefs, their own faith, apart from the established doctrines of religion Perhaps they do not feel complete partaking in a traditional religion, or simply want the freedom to explore the immaterial Spirituality gives people the latitude to expand their

awareness and discover their own inner being They feel a connection to the universe, but don’t wish to be limited by the views of others So they experiment and study the intangible aspects of life, to gain a greater insight into their own existence

Yet spirituality and religion can and do coexist You can be a devout believer in an established religion, but incorporate spiritual practices into your daily routine It seems counterintuitive to consider things like breathing and volunteering to be spiritual practices, but they can open doors that you didn’t even realize were there

A more spiritual path can begin with small changes in the way you think You’re probably

familiar with the phrase positive thinking But what does that even mean? In its simplest sense,

it’s about being hopeful and confident But it is much more than that Positive thinking starts with a commitment deep within you It is a change in attitude, a change in the way you see things Instead of responding to people and events in a negative manner, you look for the bright side in everything For example, you wanted to go for a walk today but it is raining So instead of getting down in the dumps about it, you choose another positive action You’ll catch up on paperwork or read a book or watch a movie Instead of dwelling on the negative, you’ll search within yourself for a positive alternative Then you take action towards that positive choice.One of the most important times to think and act positively is when you are looking for a job At every step along the way, you must possess good energy, feel superb, and infuse the positive feelings into your actions

You’ve probably heard of The Law of Attraction It isn’t really a law; it’s a belief system, and is

similar to positive thinking The Law of Attraction states that you should A) know what you want and ask for it, B) feel, think, and act as though your desire is already yours, and C) be open

to receiving it

So now ask yourself the following:

Do I really want a job?

Do I know what job I want?

Am I behaving like I already have a job?

Am I acting like a professional?

Will I say “yes” if I’m offered a job?

Hopefully you answered yes to all or some of these questions If you did, you’re already on your way to a positive mindset

If you didn’t, it’s important to identify your mental state Think about what it would take to answer yes to all of these questions, and what positive thoughts you can develop to get there.Imagine your perfect job and believe that you’ll get it Have faith that it is out there and you’ll find it Ask for that job, out loud, and repeat your requests to the universe daily Smile when you think about the new job You’re on a new path now, a spiritual path to getting a job

Exercise 1 – Start Your Spiritual Job Quest Journal

Open an empty spiral-bound notebook, or if you prefer, open a new document on your computer You are starting a Spiritual Job Quest Journal Write down your answers to the questions on the previous page Explain your answers, as much as possible No one will see this but you, so be completely honest Answer the questions below as well Examine your answers and look for places to improve, to adjust your mindset to be more positive

Additional questions:

Why do I need a job? (Or, why do I need a new job?)

What are my religious beliefs?

What are my spiritual beliefs?

How can my two sets of beliefs coexist without conflict?

How can my combined beliefs help me get a job?

What are my most positive beliefs?

Am I open to new practices that will help me get a job?

Review your answers as many times as necessary, until you feel they are complete and honest Take a day or two to examine your beliefs and answers, and know that you’ve just taken a

positive step towards getting a job

Chapter 3: Center Yourself before You Search

Before starting your job search, it is wise to become centered What does this mean? Being

centered means focusing your attention or energy on something For the moment, you won’t focus on the job quest Instead, you’ll focus on yourself

Centering is about finding the calmness that exists within you You’ve probably felt it at some point in your life – a time when the incessant stream of consciousness inside your head slowed down (or stopped) and you were just able to exist, free and unencumbered from the rigors of daily life Eckhart Tolle, in his excellent series of books, calls this “stillness”

By slowing things down, both internally and externally, you allow your body and mind to

recharge and regain the energy you need to move forward And there are few times in life when this is as critical as when finding a job Employment represents your survival, so it’s naturally a very tense and draining process But it needn’t be so, and finding the calm place within you prepares you for the challenges that lie ahead

There are many ways to focus inward and become centered Let’s start by looking at some breathing exercises How do breathing exercises help you? First, they help release and reduce emotional stress (which is pretty common when one needs a job.) Second, deep breathing relaxes the body, including slowing your heart rate Breathing also increases energy flow throughout the body These are just a few of the wonderful benefits that can be enjoyed through deep breathing.Here are a few different exercises You may like one or two better than the others, or you may like them all Try doing a different one each day, or a specific one at a certain time each day Whatever you prefer, it is important to incorporate one or more breathing techniques into your daily routine, to help you get centered and stay that way

Exercise 2 – Breathing Exercise – Accepting & Releasing

The first breathing exercise is called “accepting and releasing” Sit down in a comfortable chair, and close your eyes Focus on each in and out breath you take Notice the rising and falling of your chest Just keep inhaling and exhaling, focusing on the rhythm Then, with each in-breath, say to yourself “accepting.” With each out-breath, say to yourself “releasing.” Continue this cycle for many minutes As you do, you’ll notice your respiration rate slowing down You’ll notice that the breaths are becoming deeper Stop after 5-10 minutes, or whenever you feel comfortable Observe how you feel more relaxed, both mentally and physically This is what centering is all about – focusing your attention on one thing until it slows you down

Exercise 3 – Breathing Exercise – Breathing from the Belly

Here is another breathing exercise Do the same as in Exercise 2 – sit down in a comfortable chair and close your eyes But this time, focus on your stomach, not your chest or lungs With each inhale, push your stomach outward, and with each exhale, pull your belly inward This has the effect of sucking more air into your stomach and lungs Continue this breathing technique, and you’ll automatically be breathing deeper This floods your body with oxygen, and shortly you’ll feel superb!

The above technique is actually the proper way to breathe – from the abdomen Ask any doctor and he will confirm this “Breathing from the belly” is the most natural way to breathe, and you see children doing it all the time But as we grow older and the stresses of life consume us, we gradually breathe shorter and shallower This is lung breathing as opposed to belly breathing Sadly, this deprives us of exactly what we need the most – life-sustaining oxygen.

Exercise 4 – Breathing Exercise – Nostril Breathing

Now try the above breathing technique again, but this time with a slight variation Inhale and exhale from your abdomen Keep your mouth closed, and breathe through your nose Now use a thumb to keep one of your nostrils closed Notice how the airflow is immediately reduced This may feel uncomfortable at first If it does, that’s okay – just release the closed nostril and use both Then keep the one nostril closed for only a few breaths Keep practicing until you can use only one nostril comfortably Observe how slow, deep, and steady your breathing becomes Sometimes it feels like you are breathing through a straw, but it is an excellent exercise in mental and physical control By focusing so intently on one specific task – breathing – you are filtering out everything else and becoming centered

After performing Exercises 2, 3, and 4, note in your Spiritual Job Quest Journal what you liked

or didn’t like about each technique

****

Breathing is a good place to start the centering process But meditation can take you to an even

deeper spiritual level What does meditation mean? Like centering via breathing, meditation is an inward focusing It is a deep relaxation, a clearing of the mind, and an enhanced awareness Meditation has been practiced for over 5000 years and even today there are some who dedicate their entire lives to studying and mastering it Yet it can be practiced by anyone, and comes in many forms

Take yoga, for example Yoga is a meditative technique that is used to attain a higher level of

consciousness and awareness It has numerous health benefits and is taught and practiced

throughout the world The stretching and breathing of yoga helps you improve your flexibility, strength, and stamina, while fomenting mental calmness and reducing stress Yoga is a great way

to become relaxed and centered before starting your job search

Exercise 5 – Yoga Exercise - The Easy Pose

You’ll want to wear loose-fitting clothing for this one Take your shoes off and sit down on the floor or a comfortable mat Cross your legs, and place your hands atop your knees Then turn your palms up so they are facing the sky Sit up straight and hold your head level Close your eyes Now breathe naturally, while holding this position It may feel uncomfortable since your body is not used to sitting like this, but with repeated practice it will feel better Remain in the Easy Pose for several minutes or as long as it’s comfortable, while continuing to focus on your breathing

****

You may also wish to examine other forms of meditation like qigong (pronounced “chee kung”)

or tai chi (pronounced “tie chee”) Similar to the breathing exercises discussed earlier, qigong is

another spiritual practice that focuses on breathing Its objective is to help people maintain their health while improving their joint flexibility and expanding their range of motion Practicing

qigong also calms the mind and increases the energy flow within the body Tai chi does the

same, though it focuses on simulated martial arts movements in addition to breathing There are many places that offer classes in yoga, qigong, and tai chi

Another easily learned form of meditation is Transcendental Meditation This is typically

practiced 20 minutes a day, with eyes closed, and mentally or verbally repeating a word or

phrase known as a mantra This requires no special skills of contemplation or concentration, yet

it allows the mind to quiet down and sink into a deeper level of consciousness So picture this – you, sitting quietly in a comfortable chair, eyes closed, and repeating your own personal mantra

to yourself What might you be saying? How about “I am employable” or “My perfect job is coming soon” or “A good job is near”? You could even just focus on a single word like

“employable” or “working” Make your mantra something positive and your energy level will be higher by the time your session ends

Exercise 6 – Combine the Easy Pose, Deep Breathing, and a Mantra

Now get into the Easy Pose, and begin deep breathing again This time after you’ve gotten into a rhythm, start saying a mantra to yourself (or speaking softly) that relates to your job search Continue this for 10-15 minutes or however long feels comfortable This is a great exercise to do daily, and feel free to change your mantra in each session Be sure to record your favorite

mantras in your Spiritual Job Quest Journal

****

While breathing exercises, yoga, and mantras are beneficial, many people will experience even greater benefits by using an audio form of meditation One such form of audio meditation is Holosync, a product offered by the Centerpointe Research Institute By listening to the Holosync sound tracks using high-quality headphones, a person’s brainwaves are lowered from the normal waking state (alpha waves) down to the much deeper theta and delta waves The benefits of doing this are many – you’ll experience extremely relaxing meditation sessions, improved memory and creativity, lower stress levels, enhanced personal awareness, and many other

benefits Much more information can be found at Centerpointe.com, and you can request a free sample CD Holosync is an excellent introduction to the world of audio meditation

There is no one best or right way to become centered before starting your job search Try several

of the aforementioned techniques and experiment to see what feels right for you Take the pieces that you like best and incorporate them into your daily routine Then by centering on a daily basis, you’ll have an edge over many of your competitors in the job market – a peace of mind and relaxed state of being that they don’t have

Chapter 4: Identify Your Job and Search for It

So you’ve been practicing your favorite breathing exercises and meditation techniques, and are now feeling really focused and centered This is the ideal time to think about the job you want, and then take action to get it

You already know your skill set and what you are qualified for But have you taken the time to contemplate and write down what you really want? Most people don’t do this, but it’s a valuable exercise that can really help you define your objective Get out your Spiritual Job Quest Journal now

Exercise 7 – Create a “Don’t Want” List

You’ll make two lists The first is a list of things that you don’t want or don’t like in a job Label this list as “What I don’t want in a job.” Some examples of these are:

I don’t want a job where I work too hard for low pay

I don’t want a nasty demeaning boss

I don’t want a job with inconvenient hours

I don’t want a job where my co-workers are unpleasant or lazy

Write down as many statements as possible about what you don’t want in a job The more

negatives you can write down, the better But what does writing down all of this yucky stuff accomplish?

Exercise 8 – Create a “Want” List

Now you’re going to take each of those things that you don’t want, and turn them into things that you do want Take each statement you just wrote, and flip it around into positive statement

Label this list as “What I want in a job.” Some examples are:

I want a job with the right amount of work for the right pay

I want a friendly, supportive boss

I want a job with hours that fit right into my schedule

I want a job with competent and pleasant co-workers

What you have just done here is called “comparing and contrasting” Most people definitely

know what they don’t want That’s why it’s so easy to come up with a big list of negatives But

most people don’t stop to think about what they do want – which is the list of positives you get when you flip the negative statements around

Exercise 9 – Refine Your “Want” and “Don’t Want” Lists

Now let’s take this exercise a step further Get out your newspaper and turn to the want ads in the classified section Or alternately, get on the Internet and go to your favorite job site, like

Monster.com or Careerbuilder.com Examine the ads for your profession Look for things you like or don’t like in each advertisement Add these onto your respective “Want” and “Don’t Want” lists You should be able to put quite a few more items on your lists Be sure to add the

“Don’t Wants” to your “Want” list, after you’ve flipped them around into positives.

As you peruse these ads, pay careful attention to how you feel, and what is going through your mind as you read each advertisement Especially look for things in the ads that evoke strong emotions For example, you may see a job and say to yourself “I’ve worked a job like that before and it was bad news.” Or maybe a job posting will stir an old memory, one where you just hated the job and dreaded going to work every day

Exercise 10 – Create a “Purge” List

Write down these strong feelings and memories in a new list Label this list as the “Purge” List Close your eyes and go deep into your mind, and try to remember all of the bad job-related experiences from your past, as many as you can This may feel uncomfortable, but that is okay – just write them all down Stop when you can’t recall any more bad experiences, or feel ready to move on to the next exercise

Exercise 11 – Throw Away the Negatives

Now pick one of your favorite breathing exercises from the last chapter As you go through the breathing steps, visualize the list with your negative job experiences and strong feelings, and see each item you wrote Take one negative at a time and put it on an imaginary piece of paper inside your head Then crumple it and throw the paper ball into a trash can Do this on each exhale, with each release of your breath You can even whisper “I release this” at the end of every

breath Continue this exercise for 5 or 10 minutes, or until you feel refreshed and invigorated

****

Now what did you just do here? This was an exercise in clearing, sometimes referred to simply

as letting go We all have negative emotions bottled up inside of us, and the old energy patterns

sometimes block us and prevent us from moving forward We have to release these buried

conflicts and fears, but we have to identify them first You listed some of these on your “Purge” List, but it is likely that many more linger deep inside you That is okay too You may identify more as time passes, and should add them to the list You may also add negative people from your past to the list, and clear them as well by throwing their images into the trash can Anything

or anyone that represents negativity from your past is fair game to get tossed

Repeat this exercise at least once a week Getting rid of the garbage is an ongoing process and takes time On most days, think about the positive statements from your “Want” list Repeat

those phrases during your inhales, during your “Accepts” Turn your desires into mantras

(Remember mantras, from the last chapter?) This will feel really good, and you’ll look forward

to it during your daily deep breathing practice

You also honed in on exactly what you want in a job in Exercises 8 and 9 You’ll want to revise

your “Don’ Want” and “Want” lists periodically, as you identify more likes and dislikes This is okay too – your Spiritual Job Quest Journal is a tool you can use as frequently as you’d like, and you should refer back to it frequently Take notes about the job quest process as your journey continues

****

Now how about one more thing to make you feel really positive during your job search? Most of

us have done it from time to time, and we know how rewarding it can be But if you’re out of

work, are you still doing it? If not, you should be What I’m talking about here is volunteering.

What is volunteering, and why is it important to your job search? It’s a giving of yourself, of your time and energy, to make your small slice of the world a better place It might be serving meals at a homeless shelter It might be donating blood at a local hospital It might be visiting animals at a shelter or elderly folks in a convalescent home There are thousands of ways to make a difference in the lives of others, if you try

Volunteering can make you feel good in many ways When you volunteer, you feel like you’re a part of something You develop bonds with others and make new friendships The recipients of your efforts will oftentimes smile and thank you And when you smile back and say “You’re Welcome”, you’ll feel really good about yourself Your self-esteem and self-confidence will improve, which is exactly what you need before meeting prospective employers

Volunteering adds variety to your life You may feel like you’re in a rut, going through the same motions day after day, but getting nowhere Your time spent as a volunteer gives you a break from the monotony of your job search, whether it’s two days a week or two hours a week

And there’s one additional benefit to volunteering – you can add these activities to your resume Employers really do like to see that you’re involved in the community, and trying to make a positive difference They may assume (quite correctly) that you will do the same as an employee – try to make your workplace a better place, and go the extra mile when called upon Sometimes it’s the little things that make you stand out from the crowd Volunteering can be that difference

Exercise 12 – Find a Way to Volunteer

Get out the local newspaper or get on the Internet Search for volunteering opportunities in your local community Review your schedule and see what works best for you Then do it – contact the appropriate person and make a commitment to volunteer

****

Before you move on to the next exciting chapter, ponder what you’ve been experiencing You’re concentrating on what you want while breathing and meditating You’re clearing out the old negatives that were roadblocks from the past You’re maintaining your Journal on a regular basis And now you’re spending some of your time helping others You feel really great and pumped, which means it’s time to move on to the next step – getting your information to the person who will hire you!

Chapter 5: Infuse Positive Energy into Your Resume & Cover Letter

In Exercises 7 through 9, you defined your desired job Then you identified some employment opportunities, either through the Internet or the newspaper So the next step is to create or update your resume and cover letter, and get these out to your prospects! There are many Internet

resources that can help you design, write, and format these documents Then you’ll distribute them, either via email or regular mail

Before you send those resumes out, though, there is some spiritual work to do on them! And work to do on yourself as well Remember that comfortable chair you’ve been using for your centering and breathing exercises? Well it’s time to settle in for a new exercise (You can also use the Easy Pose, if you prefer.)

You’re going to infuse positive energy into your documents using a special technique called

white lighting What is this and how does it help you? White lighting is visualization where you

imagine yourself, and things important to you, to be surrounded by white light Not only does this technique protect your documents from negative energy, but the positive energy surrounding them can really make them stand out or feel good in the hands of the recipient

Exercise 13 – Visualize White Light around Yourself

So now while sitting comfortably, close your eyes and start your favorite breathing technique You should be in quiet place, and if it’s dark that’s even better Take some time, maybe 5-10 minutes, and let yourself slip into a nice breathing rhythm Now go into your mind and visualize

a ball of bright white light that’s resting inside your stomach Focus on this ball of light for several minutes, and just watch it Feel its warmth within you, and then imagine it very slowly expanding It continues to grow until it expands outside of your body and encompasses you Just watch the bright light as it surrounds and soothes you, and continue this for many minutes until you feel very relaxed and centered

The white light surrounding you is now protecting you from negative energy, and can quell bad feelings within you Whether it’s fear, doubt, anger, or something else, white lighting can

prevent and remove the negativity inside

Anxiety and lingering uneasiness are part of the human experience Have you ever had thoughts like these:

“I’m not good enough for that company.”

“I bet nobody will even read my resume.”

“How can I even compete with the others applying for this job?”

These are but a few of the limiting thoughts that you can prevent, or release, using white lighting

Non-productive thoughts can occur at any time, but it only takes a few minutes to look back inside and visualize the ball of white light It is just like the air you breathe – it is always there for you, and you should utilize it

Exercise 14 – Expand the White Light to Others

After several sessions where you visualize the white light surrounding yourself only, you can move on and extend the white light Start the session in the usual manner with several minutes of breathing, and watch the ball expand and surround you Now let the white light grow even larger – allow it to grow and encompass someone you love, like a spouse or a child Let it continue, until it has surrounded your pets, and your friends Picture all of them now inside the white light with you Practice this extended technique many times.

Exercise 15 – Expand the White Light to Objects

You can also include things in your bubble of white light As it expands, visualize the light surrounding your entire house or apartment Inside the space with you is everyone and

everything you love Now zoom in on one specific item within your residence, a piece of paper sitting on your desk As you get closer you can see what it is…it’s your resume! Now focus on it even more intensely, and watch the bright white light totally permeate your resume, and cover letter Let the light settle all over your documents, like a coat of white paint It’s shiny,

shimmering around the edges, and you feel totally at peace Just observe the desk and the

glowing papers atop, and notice the air flowing in and out of your lungs Do this for several minutes

Exercise 16 – Expand the White Light to the Future

As you become more comfortable visualizing the white light encompassing the important things

in your life, also imagine it surrounding the things you would like to see happen For example, picture a hiring manager reading your resume, nodding and smiling See yourself at work with some colleagues, collaborating on a project And try to remember the feeling of receiving your first paycheck, and taking it to the bank There is no limit to what you can imagine inside the white light – people, things, or events – in the present or future Just always remain focused on the positive, and focus on things you love, need, or want

****

Visualization is an important part of the spiritual job search process As you noticed in the white light exercises, picturing what you want can make you feel better, and keep you focused on the positive But the images of what you strive for can be real too…and you can assemble them yourself

A vision board is collage of images of the things you want in your life The images can also

represent things you want to accomplish in life, like getting a job The vision board is a visual wish list, a smorgasbord of all you desire, tacked or taped onto cardboard, corkboard, or another flat structure It is inexpensive to create, and you probably already have most of the materials in your home

Exercise 17 – Create a Vision Board

Start by finding some old magazines Thumb through them looking for pictures, words, or phrases that appeal to you These can be anything that you want, like, or dream about For

example, perhaps you see an advertisement with a couple walking on a tropical beach You’ve always wanted to take a trip to Hawaii, so cut out that picture and put it on your vision board

Maybe you need some nicer clothes for the job you intend to get Browse through some clothing catalogs and cut out the apparel you desire How about a new faster computer? Find an image of that and add it to the vision board Maybe as you’re flipping through a magazine you see words like “work” or “career” or “professional” Cut those out too.

Take as much time as you need to fill the board up with images and words It might take a few hours, or maybe you’ll spend 15 minutes per day working on it It is your choice, but the sooner you fill it up, the better

Also be aware that your vision board is not cast in concrete It is completely changeable

Something you want today may not be what you desire two months from now And you’ll

receive some of the items on your vision board over time It is okay to revise the vision board intermittently, to make it an accurate reflection of your current desires and intentions

Exercise 18 – Add Your Desired Job to the Vision Board

Earlier you identified your desired jobs This is another item to add to your vision board – the job

or jobs you are striving to obtain If it is in the want ads, you probably circled it or cut it out Find it now and add it to your board Or maybe you saw it on the Internet and plan to send the company your resume via email That is okay – just go back to that job posting and print it out Then trim the excess paper and put it on your vision board

There is really no limit to your imagination and what you can put on your vision board Once you are done creating it, you’ll place it in a visible location somewhere in your residence For example, if you are using a home computer for your job search, put the board up on the wall above and behind your computer Or maybe you’ll put it on a wall in the kitchen or breakfast nook – wherever you eat your meals

The whole idea here is to put it someplace where you’ll see it every day You want to look at it consistently, always mentally noting why those items are on it It is a daily visual reminder of what you are striving for in life, and why you need to keep looking for your dream job You’ll see your future rewards in an ongoing manner, always knowing that great things await you And most importantly, it will keep you focused on your specific employment objectives, since those items appear on your vision board as well

Exercise 19 – White Light the Vision Board

And now you have a new object to visualize and surround in white light during your breathing exercises – your vision board What a powerful combination – imagining the pictures of your desires surrounded in an intense bright light Be sure to examine each item on your vision board during the white light session, and make sure each one gets its own special coating of energy!

Exercise 20 – Update Your Journal

After you’ve practiced the white lighting techniques for a few days, or a couple of weeks, get out your Spiritual Job Quest Journal Make a new section called “White Lighting” and answer the following questions

Which items am I surrounding with white light in each session?

What additional items (or people) can I add into my white lighting?

What items did I place on my vision board?

What items am I still missing from the vision board?

You can and should be updating your journal on a weekly basis Feel free to record any thoughts

or images that come to you during your sessions Also record any new ideas you have about the job search process At any time one of these random inspirational thoughts might make a

difference in your quest!
