De·frag·ment·ing: To reorganize (computer files) to eliminate fragmentation.

Several years ago when our son asked me when I had last defragged my computer, I sheepishly admitted it had been months. He patiently explained that defragging is like a tune-up for a car and obviously my PC was "choked up" and "sluggish." He shared that defragging regularly optimizes performance and reorganizes files on the hard drive into contiguous clusters on the hard disk so the programs run faster because the files are arranged closer together. Defragging is like making a "road map" of the best locations for the data on the drive, which it will use when actually moving the files. I am now committed to defragging my PC every Friday to keep my computer operating at 100%.
 
A light bulb moment then occurred that defragging is a delicious analogy for the Steps of Deliberate Creation and the Law of Attraction in action, which are outlined in my book, Magnetizing Your Heart’s Desire. When we "defrag" by being aware of what we don’t want and then clearly ask, create and allow our heart’s desires, we are connected to Source and our Stream of Well Being. Just like the hard drive of our PC, we can keep our thoughts and vibrations magnetically focused and clustered on what feeeels good and have clarity on our heart’s desires as our inner road map.
 
McAfee and Norton Anti-virus protection software scan messages and programs for viruses. The same comparison can be made for scanning our thought patterns, which are our personal vibrational signal to the Universe, as well as "old programming" residing in our minds 24/7. When I *defrag my PC, there is an analysis display, volume and cluster size, space used, plus free space available, etc. As a metaphor, how much of the time are you a spending as a Creator versus Reactor? Are you filled primarily with life-giving positive feelings of abundance, love, joy, appreciation, health or negative thought viruses of fear, frustration, lack, anger, blame and criticism? What inner programs are you consistently running? My virus protection program randomly pops on up on the screen with the following choices: (which are also options we have as a mirror for our thoughts):
 
I want to update now
Be reminded later
Continue what I was doing
 
We can download, prepare to install or uninstall as we monitor the screen of our minds.
 
If you were to scan your thought energies hourly, where are they frequently clustered? What are you allowing to permanently reside on your internal hard drive as predominant thought patterns? What are you putting out to the Universe or regularly speaking about? How often do you update for mental and verbal "viruses" by scanning your daily life? What is being most repeatedly displayed on the screen of your consciousness? What life arenas can you defrag currently by becoming aware of how connected you are to your Stream of Well Being (feeeeeling good) or disconnected (fragmented) and feeling bad or sad. There are only two e-motions (energy in motion)—one feels good and one feels bad.
          
 "Imagination lays the tracks for the reality train to follow."
Carolyn Casey
 
Our train of thought is primarily either as a Creator or Reactor. Our focused intentions design our experience because all thoughts are energy and all energy follows thought. Our train of thought, language and our personal vibrations constantly lay out and mirror our mind/heart tracks positively or negatively. When we optimize our heart’s desires and feeeel good, we are magnets for joy. Well Being is then clustered together vibrationally. When we are "negative" and in "resistance" by complaining, criticizing and condemning, then our vibration is impaired. In physics, like attracts like; and in life, what we think about expands. The hard drive of your life does not initially require outer action. It does mean taking time as a Deliberate Creator for reflecting, imagining, visualizing, asking and allowing your heart’s desires, as well as finding a good feeeeeling space and magnetically lining up the energy with Source.

People often say, "I’m too busy to meditate, pray or intend."  Yet they would not think of giving up showering, brushing their teeth or eating because they were "too busy." Imagination is so underestimated and undervalued. It’s a valuable tool for upgrading your heart’s desires and what you long to experience. A Course In Miracles says: "Prayer is the conduit of miracles." To that I add, so are creative intentions. Once we do our inner work, the Universe springs into action on our behalf, as co-creators, and orchestrates events in such a way that we are connected to circumstances and people in divine order and timing. Inner work precedes outer action.
 
"First you have to figure out what you want.  Second, you have to decide you deserve it. Third, you have to believe you can get it.  And, fourth, you have to have the guts to ask for it."      ~ Barbara De Angelis
 
Recently, I "defragged" my body and dropped 25 pounds since late February. I feel like a new woman and I didn’t "diet" in the traditional sense. I also added walking every single day for exercise (I have also done yoga daily for many years). It was such a simple formula that I even amazed myself. In the past I’ve always felt deprived on a diet because I had to eliminate many of the foods I enjoyed. I always gained weight back after any "diet" because it wasn’t meant as a way of life forever.
 
If you have ever seen a magnet demonstrated with iron filings, you know how powerfully they respond. Our mind and hearts are magnets that attract pure, positive, pulsing outcomes when we take time to co-create with Source. In my book, I outline various processes for magnetizing your heart’s desires. When you are aligned, forces begin to move in your direction at the speed of love because you are feeeeling good. The more edgy you feel, the more stuck the energy becomes and chaos expands, which reflects a "slow down" and why defragging personal "viruses" is urgently needed. Defragging clears emotional baggage and brings us back to "center," to "home" and wholeness. It releases old patterns and programming that are scattered and fragmented and not serving us—they slow us down. Every time we "defrag" our life by knowing what we don’t want, we then have more "volume" and space for deliberate creating. It is a cosmic re-set button that oozes a fresh, pure, clear 100% signal to the Universe. Like our computers, we are then turned on, tuned up and connected 100% at optimum new levels.
 
Remember, plant your dreams and magic and miracles will grow!

Shine on!

*If you haven’t defragged your PC before, here are the steps: Go to Start, then open programs, then find Accessories and open Systems Tools (Disk C). Click on defragment and it will analyze and start defragging and when it is completed, click ok.
