CHAPTER 1
A REAL Beautiful Movement
Shine like the whole universe is yours.—Rumi
The universe has your back, always.—Danielle Laporte
REAL Beautiful Shines
There is a ray of light inside a heartbeat pulsing across the vastand infinite sky above you. Can you see and feel it? Its humblepresence can be seen and felt inside the core of your being if youare willing to stop long enough and learn how to blend in with themovement of this mystical and energetic wave. Its expansive power,relentless in its giving, retreats with the sights and sounds of the daythat hide it from you. But still, it secretly waits for you.
It is a challenge in our Western society to link into the sacredscience that replenishes the strength of our whole being— mind, body,and spirit— so we can be carried across the challenging oceans we faceas women in our effort to recover the value and honor we deserve inlife. The narrow perspectives, misleading information, never-endingpressures, tiring competition, and chaotic pace block our view froma beautiful and sacred door that stores our secret powers behind it.Many of you have been living without your powers for a long timebecause you are immersed in a society that has misplaced the key thatunlocks this proverbial door which houses these sparkling jewels.I know many of you have no idea such supportive resources exist.These magic powers can help you let go of the pain and sufferingthat results from anxiety, depression, addictions, disordered eating,weight problems (too much or too little), confusion, unworthiness,lack of success, prosperity, and confidence or whatever inhibits yourpath to become the magic and miracle maker you were born to be.These intriguing powers store the essence of our greatness inside theinfinite combination of potions and elixirs they can create from ourown intention and vibrational energy. When you learn to speak thelanguage of the divine universe, your mind, body, and spirit willrespond in ways you could never have imagined. This is the messagethat should go viral on YouTube.
The REAL Beautiful Movement is all about spreading thesebeautiful hidden secrets that light up the powerful gifts inside ofyou and me. Like a mystical fire they spark the flame in the heartsof women across the world. You will begin to understand the sacredscience that lives inside your physical body and is written into yourDNA that you yourself control. You will come to experience theenergy raising technologies that reach inside your cells, change theirvibration, and cause higher energy to rise up, spill over, and blendwith the chemical frequencies of the universe outside of them. Youwill learn about the chemical potions that create beauty, power,magic, and miracles in daily life. This book is the beginning of asacred revolution that opens the pretty little gift box you and I havebeen living in, and unties the ribbons that keep us from rising upand shining like the protective universe is ours, as Rumi and DanielleLaporte remind us in the quotes that open this chapter. When youcan become one with this universal power, you will experience whatI call living and being REAL Beautiful.

CHAPTER 2Enlightened Master of Our Time:Dr. Wayne Dyer
Miracles happen. Be ready, be willing.—Dr. Wayne Dyer
Real Magic
Dr. Wayne Dyer holds a doctorate in educational counselingand is well known across the world as the "father of motivationand inspiration." His brilliant insight through his teachings in overthirty books guides us to the ways of living and being that havethe elements required to create real magic in our lives, if we dare toimagine it is possible. Dr. Dyer leads us to understand some sacredand ancient wisdom that exposes the truth behind who we really are:spiritual beings having a human experience. Listen to and practice histeaching and you will come to realize, as I did, that you are so muchmore powerful than you have been taught to believe.
Outdated and illusionary mainstream knowledge that is passedon through mass media and social learning teaches us to believe instates of fear, struggle, depression, anxiety, unworthiness, lack of self-love,diminished confidence and competence, and scarcity. We learnto have no expectations to ever succeed or have abundance of anykind in life. Where are we taught to believe that magic and miraclescan happen? This information continues to hide from many in somesecret and sacred texts, teachings, and masterful insights that haveexisted for years. For millions more of us, however, the veils of secrecyhave been lifted and the beautiful and sacred knowledge is pouringforth. Those who don't believe it may mock and laugh at thosewho do; those who do believe know it is merely levels of consciousawareness that separate them and the miracles from each other.
I often said to my university students, "There are so many thingsyou don't even know that you don't even know." Never think thatyou have uncovered all there is to know about who you and I areand the unseen possibilities that could exist. Be open to learning andbelieving that new and brighter things can take place beyond thehardships and sorrows of life. This willingness is required to unlockthe door to creating miracles in everyday life.
It is my hope to bring forth truth, comfort, peace, and lightto anyone who resides in the realms of being that are filled withdarkness. I have been there. Listen to the wisdom in a quote fromDr. Wayne Dyer's teachings on creating miracles in life.
REAL Beautiful Gift #1Insights from Real Magic by Dr. Wayne Dyer
"The way to understanding is through your willingness to reach yourown highest state of awareness, using that awareness to get your lifeon purpose, and radiating that awareness to everyone in your life.It is primarily a mental trip so powerful that it can affect thematerial world with its miraculous magical powers. Butyou must be willing to go within and discover itfor yourself.... This invisible mental tripinvolves dispelling some powerfulmisperceptions and arrivingat a new set ofknowings."
Honoring Dr. Wayne Dyer
I find it fitting to honor Dr. Dyer as the first of the "masters of ourtime" I'll feature throughout this book. Words cannot really capturehow grateful I am that the powers that be guided me to his work. Histeaching became a lifeline that soothed me in the dark and pulled metoward the light of knowing the sweet comfort of magic and miraclesin life. I have taken these insights and blended them with a powerfulconcoction of divinely downloaded and sacred insights that havebeen given to me to create the magic potions I share inside the pagesof this book and in my REAL Beautiful Movement. I'm introducingthe idea that magic exists in life early in my book for a few reasons:first, to begin the transformation required for you to be comfortablewith the topic, as it underpins every chapter in this book; second,because exposing you to this idea begins the process of infusion ofthe belief into every cell in your body; and third, to foreshadow themagic and miracles that will come to you as you come to know thesecret energy and sacred science inside your human design and in theuniverse that I uncover for you in this book.
Synchronicity and Miracles
It was synchronistic that Dr. Dyer's book Real Magic: CreatingMiracles in Everyday Life fell from a community library bookshelfto my feet almost eighteen years ago. I was methodically andsystematically pulling books out from the bookshelf that day just farenough to expose the covers and titles and long enough to evaluatethe book's usefulness. If the book had no relevance, it was easily andquickly shifted back into its place on the shelf. This efficient processI developed helped me scan through multiple books at a fast pace.The flow of this process became interrupted by a significant thud as ahard-covered book fell off the shelf onto the ground before me. It wasa mystical prodding and message for me to take note of the book, asif someone else placed it in my hands on purpose. It was difficult toexplain at the time, but I knew without a doubt that this book hadmade a grand entrance into my life for a reason.
From all of my research, study, and understanding of thepossibilities for magic to show up in life, I had plenty of examples ofthe miraculous things that could take place from moment to momentin daily life, as Dr. Dyer teaches. As the book fell from the shelfthat day, I had already been practicing and applying some energytechniques taught to me by a counselor I was seeing to support methrough the loss and changes that were happening in my life. Shewas untraditional in her approach as she guided me to play with theenergy in and around me. She was the first teacher who broughtawareness to me that I was made of energy and so was everythingoutside of me.
I was delighted at some of the exciting things that were happeningas a result of the further insights I was gaining on my own and fromDr. Dyer's book Real Magic: Creating Miracles in Everyday Life. Ifound a hundred dollars one day, and then interestingly enough,again while writing this book. I was finding parking spots up frontin crowded parking lots. I bought a house without a down payment.I was offered a position in research that supported my life better as Iadjusted to being a single mother. Roses showed up at my doorstepafter I said a magical prayer given to me by my mother just beforeher death. Money showed up in my mailbox unexpectedly. Initiallywhen I opened Dr. Dyer's book, I recognized I had unknowinglyread one of his earlier books, Pulling Your Own Strings, when I wasthirteen years old. A warm chill spiraled inside my body in thatmoment because I knew I had been divinely guided to his teachings.This feeling inside of me marked the beginning of my consciousconnection to spirit, an introduction to a lifelong guru, but it alsoguided me to continue to seek out the higher insights and knowledgeof many more experts and masters across time. As I combined all ofthese higher ways of knowing with my own personal sacred insightsand experiences over time, I began to magically and synergisticallycreate the changes I wanted to see in my life!
The Power of Intention
After I read The Power of Intention by Dr. Dyer, another great literarywork of his, I decided to apply his teaching from that book and fromReal Magic: Creating Miracles in Everyday Life, along with some of myown secrets and I set an intention to meet him. And so I did. WhenI met Dr. Dyer in Toronto in 2001, I held my copy of his book YourSacred Self in my hands. When it came time for me to meet him,he took both of my hands in his. I told him I was grateful for all ofthe wisdom his teachings had brought to my life. He took the bookfrom my hands and placed his signature across the title on the insidepages of the book, and then he looked up at me and said, "You havea beautiful aura." From one energy lover to another, I was honoredby his compliment! I was also further awakening to a brilliant powerinside of me that was `outside the box' of conventional thinking, yethad me intrigued to take note of the mystical information I seemedto naturally be in tune with around me even beyond this book. Ibegan to sharpen my senses to the world of energy that spoke to mein a language I knew many people around me didn't understand.
REAL Beautiful Gifts
After the intense research and study I completed on the topic ofmagic, miracles, sacred practices, technologies, and insights for thisbook, I have no doubt—just like Dr. Dyer and millions of others—thatmagic and miracles do exist in life. I am honored to share withyou ten of Dr. Dyer's insights from his book Real Magic: CreatingMiracles in Everyday Life to guide you to come to understand betterhow to create miracles in everyday life. These insights will showup as "REAL Beautiful Gifts" (like the one shared above earlier inthis chapter) sprinkled throughout the book to symbolically reflecthow miracles can happen and guide you to them in your own lifewhen you apply the knowledge in this book. Honor and revere theseinsights as you do the other powerful knowledge in this book, and Iguarantee you will come to recognize the miracles that I more fullyunderstand at the level of insight I have reached so far. When we areall ready, I trust that even more sacred secrets and insights will berevealed.
CHAPTER 3The Real Me
If you knew yourself for even one moment, if you could just glimpseyour most beautiful face, maybe you wouldn't slumber so deeply in thathouse of clay. Why not move into your house of joy and shine into everycrevice! For you are `the secret treasure-bearer' and always have been.Didn't you know?—Rumi
A REAL Beautiful Truth
There is an infinite mystery inside us that, once realized,changes us forever. We begin to create and manifest our beingand our world as if holding a magic wand with unlimited miracleswaiting to be performed. We feel powerful and connected to thevoice that calls us back to the truth. We become wiser, and mind,body, and spirit transform and heal. Beauty and knowing flow inand out of every cell inside us and intuitively blend with the energythat dances in the universe. We hear clearly the voice of our innategoddess, who lifts us up so we can see the honor, reverence, power,and uniqueness our gender holds—as it was always meant to be.And then we know we have experienced what I call living and being"REAL Beautiful."
The universe and the light of the stars come through me.—Rumi
My Story
I believe my mother knew all along, even before I did, that Iwas a healer at heart. I am grateful for her insight and her gentleprodding that inspired me to become educated in nursing before herunfortunate death in 1989. I have lived half of my life now withoutmy mother in the physical sense of the word—but as you will learnin this book, I have been guided by her spirit since her death.
Although my mother guided me to the nursing profession, it hasbeen my passion for caring and the desire to heal that has kept mestudying and practicing in this medical field. Along this journey, Ihave come to realize that we are all healers, but only to the extent thatwe are able to understand the power each human mind, body, andspirit owns as a result of its nature and design. This power extendsbeyond our ability to heal ourselves and others. The same powerallows us to create self-love, beauty, bliss, peace, success, abundance,and even magic and miracles if we choose. When we master creatingthese things in our lives, we experience living and being REALBeautiful in mind, body, and spirit.
You are powerful, providing you know how powerful you are!—Unknown

In respect of all disclosures of personal data, we will only share the personal information which is necessary for the particular purpose for which it is provided, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so, and we will ensure that the personal data is appropriately protected.
RETENTION PERIOD:
We will keep personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. We will normally keep personal data of applicants who we do not employ for six months after we receive it.
We will keep personal data of employees throughout your employment and normally for a minimum of six years after your employment ends.
Changes to your personal data
It is very important that the personal information that we hold about you is accurate and current. Please tell us if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.
Data Security
We have put in place measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those of our people and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and the ICO of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
Where we store your personal data
We principally store data, both electronically and on file, at our office.
Personal data may be transferred outside of the EEA by processors acting on our behalf. For transfers to countries not considered adequate by the EC, we will ensure that personal data is adequately protected, as required by the GDPR. This would include by use of the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EC to protect personal data.
