A couple of months ago, the Elves of Fyn gave me the following outline on how to live your life with intent and purpose. They intend to expand on each of the seven steps as time goes on if any of you are interested–
LIVING WITH INTENT THE ELVEN WAY….
1) Resolve to live an intentional life, one with purpose.
Do not be a leaf floating down the river at the mercy of any snags or pockets of debris. Be instead the commander of your own vessel, a director of your own life.
2) Simplify your life.
Remove unimportant or distracting elements from your life. Beware of black holes and energy vampires –remove these elements that suck away your energy and do not further your purpose. You must be merciless in the culling of the unnecessary elements. Make sure everything that is a strong part of your life is there because you intend for it to be there.
3) Break down your life into a list of intended elements.
Include elements that you have and those you have yet to attain. State what you want in your life in a bold and fearless way. Embrace your life, do not shrink from it.
4) Map your goals .
Start at your beginning and map your life to the desired destinations. Use a vision board to enhance your focus.
5) Surround yourself with supporting elements.
Sculpt your environment to support your destinations and goals.
6) Live your life as you wish it to be.
Live your intentions. Use magic, be magic.
7) Make this a part of your life, do it everyday.
Do not live a life of reaction, live a robust life of action, intent, and purpose.
Huzaah first one to comment.
Hello, oddly understanding the 7 steps is confusing but that is fine I enjoy my life the way it is.
lol – they are trying to make you think about the choices you make in life.
oh nyahaha now i get it.thank you hehe i pondered the 7 steps too profoundly nyahha.
Hey guys I wanted to know how to meet an elv obviously a seelie and did you guys know tha wikipedia has info about the fairy court!!!and if you see a red lttlie light what does that mean
Yes! This is so true. We, as a human race, can overcome the past. We can created a new future. Obstacles are all in our minds (unless they are physical). We can not let our lives control us. We must control our lives. Let each other take cares of their own. We may not be able to always control what happens to us but we can control how we react. It’s all written we just need to interpret the story.
Wow the elves are a very deep race and wise thanks for the advice.It makes me think.
They mean-
1. live a life of purpose don’t let things take down be the commander of your life
2. remove unimportant or distracting stuff in your life beware of negativity in your life and remove them.make sure everything in your life is there because you want it.
3. make a lost of goals you want, include the goals you have and already did.go after what you want from life do not runaway from it run after it.
4.Start at your beginning and map your life to the desired things you want to do in life. use a visual.
5. self explanatory
6. self explanatory
7.do not be another face in the crowd live a life of purpose.
although I could be very wrong, did I understand the steps wright?
6.
I think the elves did a more beautiful explanation it paints a beautiful picture.
when are you guys going to add more stuff to the store?
how are you and your sister and the elves of fyn, Mr.E have not seen him around for a while.
Hi rocio88!
Nice to see you here. I agree, they have an interesting way of phrasing things and making you think but you did a great job of summarizing what they wrote. You definitely “got” what they were trying to say.
All the best,
Natalie
PS: I was going to say that we are all doing well here but actually, my sister Susan got a virus and has been quite under the weather lately. However, I am still hanging in there–as a matter of fact, I am working on adding new items to the store right now!
Hi WitchyWoman28,
Thanks for your insightful comments, I agree with you completely! I think, as humans, we often feel very powerless and adrift and one of their messages is that we are only as powerful (and powerless, for that matter) as we believe we are.
Natalie
Thanks. I only wish I could apply these things to my life. What if a negative thing in your life is a person? a person that you can’t remove? What do you do then?
Hey Natalie hww r u doin ? could u PLS reply my questions whenever you are free sweety ?
I also read abt our Earth’s partial doomsday phrophecies on another real fairy website called “Celtic Teachings” & I was really surprised at d details d FAE has talked abt startin frm catatrophe’s till after doomsday changes, Natalie can u ask Mr.E dat hw r dey able to predict like dat ? I m not doubtin bt jst curious, Umm I m sorry 2 hear dat Susan’s health isn doin well & as a sister u r worried 4 her health, PLS convey my message of “Get Well Soon” to her would u ? 1 thing more I saw another dream dat I m talkin 2 a TREE & d tree is shakin its leaves by itself & answerin my questions also today I saw in my dream dat sum1 has gifted me tons of BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS & I m dotin over them

HOW TO MEET AN ELVE!!
oh sorry!
yeah the login fr the forum is hard…i regsiter and i type in thwe password and it “wrong”?…after i reregister with my same hotmail and its “wrong” or i cant use it again…so i made a new hotmail over and over again and it keeps on going on!!!!!its constantly annoying!!!
and i finnally got it and now i copie it an\d a paper and it’s “wrong”!!!!!!
Hello =) I was just thinking about how I could live a better life. I’ve been feeling pretty lost lately, so thank you for this article. =D Also, one of my friends said that fairies are freaky looking since we messed with the natural order of things..is this true? I really don’t think it is because I’ve seen fairies and they seemed really pretty but I’ve never seen one up close so I’m not really sure. And what do they usually look like? Because I want to make absolute sure that what I’m seeing is actually a fairy…
Thanks ?
~Tami?
p.s. do you think tree houses or forts out in the woods are disturbing nature? Because my best friend and I really want to make a tree house and have Flower Fairy Club (that’s our club name =)) meetings out where the fairies are but we don’t want to seem like we’re intruding.
yes tamisi they would enjoy that …but,be careful because if theres a hobgobling he might feel mad …and they can be pretty territorial…and well,the truth is ,that its rare that you see fairies that are not a ball of light…me i saw a little red light…not a little winged thing…and well,and im not sure if there freaky looking but , i doubt it…well,mermaids myabe because the pollution and maybe there mutated or not…
hope i help,
dante
and it would be nice to tell them before you do it…and give them little gifts and tell them there welcomed
Is it wrong to want to live forever?
Hi! I think a fairy was trying to get my attenchen but i am not sure. Here is the story: I woke up last night by the sound of my music box that i had next to my bed. But the think is there was nothing there to make it play! Nothing! Nothing that i could see. I know my cats can make it play but they where not in the room or my dogs and i know my stuffed animals can not make a music box play. Even when i looked at it it keped playing for about 2 or 3 more sec. Do you think it was a fairy? All together the music lasted for about 5 or 6 sec. Maby 7. It was very odd. Do you think it was a fairy? PLEASE ASWER NOW!!!!!!
hey gloria…actually it should maybe be a fairy…they love music and playing around…its definately a fairy
i made the best fairy house..(not the best but ,pretty good) its all natural..an smells good!!!…first i was picking weeds that were HUGE!! so i bent them once and put them down and they looked like a big cushion …after i made a TiPi with sticks and bent a 2 big ones to make a roof and a frame…after i put leaves (dead and green) to make a a roof and some walls…after i put some mushrooms for the fairies and some quartz…after i put some mint leaves to make it smell good…its so good!!!!!
These are very empowering life lessons! thanks Elves of Fynn
Here are my replies for all of you starting with Tamisin:
I dont think faeries are mutilated looking at all– Not all of them are pretty , some are wiley looking, there are so many different kinds but I dont’ believe the toxins on our planet have
distorted them. They go back to thier dimension for temporary relief when
things are tough on Earth. They don’t like how we are polluting the Earth- and Nature suffers at the hands of humans– but thankfully, the Faery themselves are not disfigured.
I think they wouldnt mind if you put a tree house there in the woods- as long as you respect the area and clean up after yourselves- and dont’ cut any trees down- You could also leave snacks there for them on the tree house
!
DANTE- You saw a faery or Pixie- they will often appear as lights moving about- Especially red or pink, or blue, violet, etc. They dont’ always appear in thier natural form! and most of the times WILL appear as lights – and if you look at one directly, they may dissapear- and only allow you to see them from the corner of your eyes.
I’m so happy for you that you saw one of them!
EMILY- It certainly isnt’ wrong to want to live forever- but quiet honestly , even after your body dies, your soul is still going to be alive!
GLORIA– I had a similar situation happen to me last Winter– my little music box that plays “Amazing Grace” played three times. This was really late at night before I fell asleep.
Unless it was by a human spirit- it sounds like a faery , gnome, pixie, etc was playing it right before you woke up
DANTE- Your faery cottage sounds beautiful! They will like it
and i made a fairy cottage..mine old one broke….so thi si how i made it …first i bended weeds and put them like a cushion …after , i grabbed bark and made walls …after i put dead pine leaves (needels) and made a roof with holes so that fairies can fly in but , not other flying creatures!!!
Hi there! I don’t know what they mean by black holes and energy vampires. Could you please clarify? Do they mean people or rooms with negative energy? Thank you
Hi Rhiannon,
They mean people and places (or things too, I suppose, such as video games for example) that suck away your energy and keep you off track. Anything that is draining or that takes away your power would be in that category.
I hope this clarifies it for you a bit,
Natalie
Great thank you! Yes I have felt like that before, I try my best to avoid those situations. Thanks!
I guess anything that we focus too much of our energy on is an energy vampire- because it enslaves us to pay too much attention to IT and not the beautiful Horizon before us.
Even all those idols that the Isrealites and neighboring civilizations of ancient days used to worship were there own personal energy vampires. It even caused them to kill thier own children for them–that’s how absorbed they were in them.
Thanks Elves of Fynn, Susan and Natalie for posting the Elves wisdom for us
Hi Lisa!
Yes, you are right, it’s a matter of being balanced and we can be our own energy vampires as well. Such a good point!
Your are very welcome – and thanks for adding your wisdom to it!
Natalie
There has been a bully bullying me for about 5 years now. She is the little vampire sucking all the happiness from me!!! I have overcome her but she still tries to hurt me when ever she can… And she smiles at me like she is my friend.
~Zoey
I BELIEVE IN FAIRIES! My friends think I am an idiot, but I am probably a mermaid. It actually hurts to walk for me sometimes.
This heavily reminds me of Thoreau’s philosophy. I would suggest reading his “Walden”.
Hi Natalie!! I wanted to ask you some questions and I have tried to but I don’t no how to. I can only do it 2 websites. Can you help me ppuulleezzee?
~ Zoey
Layla,
I once thought that too, but now I realize its just the fact that I have such a strong belief in the fae!!
fairydust,
Bri
no doubts in you, but i find it unlikely
Layla you should read Doreen Virtues Earth Angels and do this quiz!
http://angelicgalaxy.yuku.com/reply/1345/t/Re-Earth-Angels-Quiz-by-Doreen-Virtue.html
I always get an equal number of incarnated angels and elementals, the elementals being the fae of course! There is a good description in the book of what incarnated mermaids look like, red hair or red highlights in their hair as well. See how it feels to you
Hi Natalie
When you wrote “use magic,be magic” what did you mean?
I’m not a huge Doreen Virtue fan I guess because, from what I’ve read, she tends to portray the fae as almost angelic. That just doesn’t fit with what the Elves of Fyn have said. Just my opinion…
sorry, no need to be rude or anything but I had asked some questions on some other sights and they haven’t been answered yet

I know i have posted this before. But what if the negative thing in your life is a person whom you can’t remove? How can you deal with something that can’t be removed from your life which is causing you pain?
Hi WitchyWoman 28,
Being in the kind of situation you are in can be quite a challenge. Since you didn’t post any details of your situation (and I’m sure they’re very private, so I won’t pry), it would be hard to give specific suggestions.
However, may I suggest a basic thought? Negativity is something that people send out, a kind of dark “gift” they try to give to other people when they, themselves are in pain. You don’t have to accept that “gift”. No one can force you to accept that negativity if you choose not to. There are, however, other things you can do with that dark “gift” when the person you mentioned tries to send it to you. You could shrug it off and choose to be positive. You could dodge. You could take the negative energy and transform it into something positive (and maybe even hand the transformed energy right back to them! It might help them become less negative, especially if this tactic is repeated over time.). The most successful tactic to use would depend on your situation – only you can really decide that.
One last thing, though – if the situation you mentioned is one where physical harm is happening to someone, please for heaven’s sake get some outside help! Hopefully this isn’t the case, but if it is then that’s *not* something to take risks with.
Warm wishes and good luck!
Hi Kassandra,
“Hi Natalie
When you wrote “use magic,be magic” what did you mean?”
It’s their way of saying “live your beliefs to the fullest, don’t just talk about it, do it and live it.”
For those who understand the concept of elven magic (gathering and directing energy to achieve a specific purpose), it means use it and make the belief part of who you are- be powerful, own it.
Btw, the magic of the Elves has not been covered fully on this blog/forum yet, but it will be.
Hope that helps a little bit for now…
Natalie

Sorry but I think I gave you the wrong idea. The real question I should be asking is How can you fogive someone that has hurt someone you love? I assure you it is not is a physical way. It’s emotional and mental. Depression. How do you handle two people who you depend on being depressed? especially when your as sensitive to energy and emotion as me?
oops. It is not in a physical way.
Hi Witchywoman28, I may be able to help you out. If someone else has hurt someone you love, its usually the person who is hurt who needs to learn a lesson, there is no need for you to get involved, just be there to love them. Also with depending on two people who are depressed, maybe this is a lesson for you to learn independance.
Yes, I agree with Rhiannon – in a case like that, probably the best thing you can do is offer your support to the people in question where-ever that is appropriate. However, since you also mention that you are sensitive to energy and emotion, the other thing you might want to look into is learning how to shield yourself. (There’s lots of info about that on the internet.) This can help you to keep from absorbing their depression by osmosis, and can also keep other people from siphoning off more energy from you than you can spare.
I’m glad it isn’t a physical issue!
Hi WitchyWoman28,
Your question was: “How can you forgive someone that has hurt someone you love?…How do you handle two people who you depend on being depressed?”
When you ask that, I am wondering, are you looking for a way to feel ok about living with people who are hurtful to you or to others? You can forgive someone but that doesn’t mean you have to endure and allow more of the same behavior. Forgiveness is a noble thing but not if it sets you up to accept mistreatment and destructive behavior. I don’t know your exact situation so it is really hard to suggest anything here. However, I do know from experience that, when you are in a situation that you feel you can’t control and have to endure, it tends to make you feel powerless and that diminishes who you are. It can also make you want to “fix” the person so that your life will be better too but unfortunately, that just doesn’t work.
So…what to do? I think that the seven steps the elves have outlined could help quite a bit here. First of all, I would suggest you turn your focus away from the two people you mentioned, and focus on yourself and direct your own life first. Your situation sounds more like floating down the river at the mercy of twigs and debris to me than being the commander of your own vessel, but you can certainly can change that if that’s the case.
Secondly, simplifying your life talks about removing the distracting/harmful elements. You don’t have to literally remove them from your life, just make your life bigger and theirs will become a smaller and less disruptive part of it. We’ve already said you can’t fix them– I’m guessing you’ve tried that many times as, any loving person would, but it still hasn’t worked. So instead, you will have more time to spend on happy, fulfilling pursuits and less time will be spent dealing with their dysfunction, right? There’s no need for you to be there for their every miserable moment, is there? The only thing you would accomplish is that you would be miserable right along with them. Break out, find something that fulfills you–you will be surprised how much this could help your perspective and sense of personal power, which is so vital.
Thirdly, when you break down your list of goals, consider making “living a life free of the impact of depression ” one of those goals. To change something, we really have to be committed to it and this is one of the ways of doing that. Of course you will need to add other life and growth affirming goals that would help you embrace the life you were truly meant to live.
I think I am going to stop now and not go through all the seven steps because I’m not sure this is something that you are finding helpful. If it is, and you want, I will be happy to go over how I think the rest of the steps could work for you.
I really empathize with you and I hope that you can find a way to move beyond all of this.
Natalie
