You are the spirit of Aphrodite, reclining elegantly on a cream and gold brocade lounge, enjoying the lifestyle of a rewarded woman. The ocean, serene and entrancing, is in wide view through sun-twinkling windows. Your dcor does not know clutter, only supreme beauty which comes from selecting the finest you may attain. Fear and lack do not enter your marble-enshrined domain. Your clothes speak of the golden wisdom of Ancient Greece --- perfect proportions, wealth-attracting colours, knowledge, refinement and self-possession.

This is not a fantasy. All of this can be achieved by a study of this culture which has hardly been surpassed for taste. Browse through coffee table books, noting the colours: cream, ivory, 24k gold, touches of classic rose, periwinkle, aquamarine and oyster. Catch the vivacity of shells, sea, pearl luster, marble statues, architectural columns of power and an understatement that arouses your essence. Instinctively you feel the richness. Stretch out to wisdom. Learn from the great ones who achieved more than you would dare. What were their strategies? Why did their drive never cease? Who are the gods and goddess of such a glorious empire?

Begin a notebook, compiling a list of the beauty you see. Envelop yourself in the gossamer feel of a designer wardrobe. Touch the expense of a leather handbag and walk in shoes that kiss your feet. Beneath it all is lingerie in whispering tones; not displaying an excess of lace to interfere with sleek garment lines. A superbly fitting bra for goddess contours must be first on the list. If stockings haven't been part of your daily dressing, a sexy surprise awaits you in micro-denier. These physical adorations will arouse your Higher Self, the poetry of the spirit.

Magnetize your desires while imaging them in a perfumed spa --- see yourself as the beautiful nude lady, toned and shaped. Moment by moment you transform. Piece by piece your orders are being delivered to you. Your mind perceives the elevated vibrations.

Aphrodite holds out her upturned palm for those who seek gold. When you realize her wisdom, you begin to romance yourself, and that love can re-shape anything, if what you want is intensely felt.

"The sculptor's hand can only break the spell to free the figures slumbering in the stone." (Michelangelo)

"In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it." (Michelangelo)
