Miracle Soup Day 1

Welcome to Miracle Soup!

The purpose of this 30-day course is to open you to the experience of noticing, intuiting, and creating miracles in your life on a daily basis. The course is divided into four weeks, each one representing a specific theme, as follows:

WEEK ONE - Gathering Ingredients
WEEK TWO - Cooking
WEEK THREE - Serving
WEEK FOUR - Receiving Nourishment

This is truly one of those experiences where your success will be directly related to the energy you put into the endeavor. A self-study course such as this requires a commitment on your part, and a certain amount of discipline.

I recommend taking a look at your schedule and planning ahead for the time that you will use to working with this material. When you create a regular schedule for your Miracle Soup work, your subconscious mind GETS the idea that this is important to you. Miracles are ALL about the intersection of the real and the divine. As you work with this course in the context of your real life, be both optimistic and realistic, and, be both fervent and flexible.

Even though it is true that you are more likely to experience great changes in your life if you have a certain level of commitment to the process, it's also important to note that you will get out of this course whatever you are supposed to get out of it...right now. That means that if you are in a mode to spend half an hour on this work every day...great! If you are in a mode to gather an hour or two here or there....that's fine. If you stop for two weeks and pick back up, that's cool. If you skip around, that's groovy. And if you find that the lessons get away from you completely for the time being, that is also ok.

Do you see where I'm going with this? There is no "right" or "wrong" way to approach this course. The course itself has a specific format (daily Miracle Recipes and weekly Miracle Menus) but think of this course as a buffet. Take what you want and release the rest...knowing that it will be right there for you whenever you want it.

In other words, this course mirrors the nature of true abundance -- the freedom to choose what you are attracted to at any given moment, knowing that there is always plenty more...for you, and for everyone else.

You may download a booklet of "Recipe Cards", which are worksheets associated with exercises in the daily Miracle Recipes. The first page of the booklet includes some instructions and suggestions about the different ways that you can use the worksheets.

On a practical note, I highly recommend that you use special notebook or journal for all of your Miracle Soup work. There will be times when you will go back to refer to work in previous lessons, and it will be helpful if you can locate the previous material easily. Also, a 3-ring binder works great, because you print out your lessons and keep them all together in one place.

We'll hop right into the "Miracle Recipe" for today. Welcome to this process!
