Allowing

“You are only the channel through which the Divine action takes place,
and your treatment will really be just the getting of yourself out of the
way.”

–Emmet Fox

Decide Who You Are Going To Be

“There is a redemptive power that making a choice has, rather than
feeling you are the effect to all the things that are happening.
Make a choice. Decide what it is you are going to be, who you are
going to be, how you are going to do it. Just decide. From that
point the universe will get out of your way. It’s like water. It
wants to move and go around stuff. For me, I want to represent
possibilities. I want to represent the idea that you really make
what you want.” –Will Smith (via Doppelit.com)

The Power of Your Words

If you are a student of The Law of Attraction, you may already be watching your thoughts and emotions carefully, since you know that thoughts become things (credit goes to Mike Dooley for that). Do you realize also that every word you speak out loud, write, or say to yourself is a thought that has physical manifestation? The words in your head create chemical and synaptic connections, the words you speak do that and also create physical sound wave vibrations, and the words you write have a physical presence and are transmitted through light waves back to you and anyone else who reads them.

So while your thoughts in your head are very powerful, the audience for words you speak and words you write is larger than just you and they therefore are reflected and reinforced by whoever hears or reads them. Those who read them add their energy to what you say and participate in the manifestation.

Are you watching your words? Do you say things like “I can’t”, “I don’t know how”, “I wish I could”…? Or worse, do you use phrases like “I hate it”, “I could die”, or “They will kill me”? These negative words are working hard to deliver what you say. If you aren’t moving toward your goals in life, consider your language and choice of words. If you catch yourself saying things that are negative, stop right away and mentally say the word “CANCEL” and then change around your phrasing. Instead of “I can’t” “I wish I could” or “I don’t know how to”, say, “I’d like to find out how to…” Instead of saying other negative phrases, think of the solution rather than the problem. “They may not like this at first, but…” or “I prefer this rather than that…”

All this may seem nit-picky and trivial to you, but that is because you have learned most of your life that sarcasm and pessimism is a sign of intelligence. In fact, it is a reinforcement of limiting and negative beliefs, even if said in humor.

Take every word your speak seriously. Fill your vocabulary with positive statements and notice the change in your energy. Eliminate the negative phrases and celebrate the power you have to make a difference in your own life NOW.

Thought as Creator.

Everything ever conceived, believed or achieved began with a single thought.

I Always Feel Like… Somebody’s Watching (Over) Me

When you quiet your thoughts and get in touch with your inner, deeper mind, through practice, you will find help at every turn.

Call it intuition, universal intelligence, that still, quiet voice from within, or guidance from angels…whatever, but it is the voice that will help you whenever you ask, if you just ask.

When I am fully present in the moment, without worries of the day plaguing my thoughts, I can ask and get answers easily.  It seems to work especially well when I am driving my car in fact.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, I can ask mentally for the best parking space and then be guided to it if I am open to listen.  The guidance comes in the form of an unspoken word or idea that pops into my head at the right time.

For instance today, as I was driving in to park at the Target store, I got an “idea” to turn left toward the lot instead of heading straight like I normally do.  I then got the “idea” to skip to the second row of parking spaces.  As I headed close to the store I was looking on my right for an opening but an “idea” came into my head to look left.  There at the very end of the row, closest to the store, was an open space on the left!  Couldn’t have found a better spot to park, really.

After shopping, I wanted to mail an envelope, but as I was in a different town I had no idea where a post office or mail box would be.  Seems to me that lately there are fewer mailboxes on sidewalks anyway, so I was nearly resigned to heading back to my town and driving way out of my way to a post office I knew.  Then a suggestion popped into my head to drive down the street “one more block”.   I had no idea what I was heading toward, but I followed the suggestion, which also led me to get in the right lane and shortly after I did, there was a mailbox!

Wow, even though this stuff seems to happen a lot these days, I am still excited and amazed when I get an “idea” or suggestion and I take it and it’s right.  Imagine how much easier our lives would be if we lived every moment like this!

I suggest you experiment as I do, asking for guidance while driving.  I do this all the time when I want to find an opening to exit a freeway, and have often  used it when I didn’t have my GPS with me (I call it my mental GPS).  The guidance is actually better than a GPS at times, taking me on the quickest route to my destination in an unfamiliar neighborhood.  Of course, having someone else in the car telling you to take different roads can drown out the information coming in, so try it at first when you’re alone.  The more you practice at receiving guidance, the better you will get at recognizing it and can apply it to all areas of your life.

Just ask and the answer will be given!

The Beginning Manifestor

Are you wondering about all this instant manifestation stuff? Have you heard the stories of great things happening to other people, but can’t seem to get things going in your own life? Try starting out with something small which you have little or no emotional attachment to. Emotions can get in the way of things and they can help, too. If you start to worry about the thing you’re trying to manifest, it’s likely to take longer to come to you, so try something that really won’t matter to much to you if you get it or not, like a parking space.

Oh boy I am good at manifesting parking spaces. I just ask for the best possible space a few minutes before arriving at the theater or store and there it is waiting for me.

In the past, when my sister was in the car with me we would have some heated discussions about parking….she saying I should go for the first spot I find and me saying I know my spot is waiting for me. Now after seeing it happen ten times or so she now keeps quiet when we pull into a parking lot. She doesn’t much believe in the Law of Attraction but she has seen it work for me. Just this weekend we were going to an art festival and before I even knew we were at the event, which took place in a park, a street parking space right next to the event opened up right in front of us. I didn’t even ask that time. Nice spot, too…in the shade.

Can you manifest parking spaces, too?

Remember David Schirmer of the movie, The Secret ? He started out by manifesting parking spaces, then moved on to getting checks in the mail and increasing his bank account.

If you can start with something small and do it consistently, you will convince yourself that you really can manifest things, that things don’t just happen to you in life by accident. Then you can move on to bigger things. Try it!
