Are You Chasing or Manifesting?

Manifesting is a big deal these days. More and more people are beginning to understand the law of attraction and employing it as a way to get what they want. It’s great! But there may be pitfalls along the way that hinder the work. 

 First, it’s possible to manifest anything, but do you really want to manifest that thing, that relationship, that new job? YES, you say. But are you sure? Because if it’s coming from the energy of I don’t have, so I want, then you may find that once you manifest it, you are not really happy about it or even regret it. Why is that?

 We attract the energy we vibrate. If you attract something from a scarcity or lack mindset, you get more scarcity and lack. If you really want to manifest from a place of ABUNDANCE, you must attract from your Highest Self. 

 The first part of manifesting from your Highest Self is getting clear on your motivation and attracting for the Greater Good. Does this thing, relationship, job, success, advance the good of ALL? If you say YES, then let’s look at manifesting from the perspective of I ALREADY HAVE, and I AM just bringing it into this 3D reality. 

 From this new and expanded place, we are no longer chasing what we are manifesting because we know it’s HERE NOW. We can think of it as hiding until we or others are ready for it to appear. Meanwhile we experience it as HERE NOW by envisioning and feeling it. We give gratitude for it BEFORE it shows up in this physical reality. 

 Here’s a pitfall to avoid: in the process of thanking the Universe for what we are manifesting, don’t think of it as something out there that isn’t here now. Instead think of it as grateful for what’s ALREADY here, much like you would thank someone after they prepared a nice meal for you. 

 Those who are most powerful at manifesting operate from the pure LIGHT, pure LOVE, pure CONSCIOUSNESS that WE ARE because they understand that we are DIVINE LIMITLESS beings. Nothing is impossible to us, and anything is possible. They no longer identify as a human trying to figure this 3D reality out. They identify as Source in human bodies navigating this human experience by tending to our human selves and aligning it with our Divine Selves. 

 That’s REAL POWER! And it’s not hard or frustrating. In fact, flowing as a Divine Limitless being is GRACEFUL, EFFORTLESS and a whole lot of FUN!

 

An Invitation to the Light

Lately I have been exploring concepts in terms of light and darkness. My LIGHT, which is who I AM, has the honor and privilege to illuminate the darkness that shows up in my experience. As I encounter my darkness, AKA my Sadness, my Anxiety, my Fear, my Anger, I imagine them as little versions of me that have been locked away in the darkness.

As my darkness arises, I smile and invite her into the light. “Come on, girlfriend! This is the way to freedom. If you stay there in the darkness, you’ll find yourself go around and around and just exhaust yourself. It’s more fun here in the LIGHT. I invite you to walk into the light.”

It’s amazing to be this free! My darkness is transformed by my LIGHT. When I walk into a space, I transform everyone and everything by my LIGHT. This is who WE ARE. I invite you into the LIGHT.

Why is Healing So Hard?

Healing in and of itself is not difficult. What makes it hard is our RESISTANCE to it that arises from our subconscious LIMITING BELIEFS. Imagine a space where there is a bright light, which by the way is who we are. And within that space are also dark caverns that are hidden and closed off by giant rocks. Even though the light is so bright that it can dispel all darkness, since there are giant rocks covering the openings to the dark caverns, the light cannot enter there.

The only way the light can enter to illuminate the darkness is if the RESISTANCE, AKA rocks are removed. Once the resistance is removed, the light is so bright, it reaches in and lights up the darkness. This is the process of HEALING, bringing our LIGHT into the DARK places of our lives.

Our healing work becomes seamless when we can identify our resistance, AKA subconscious limiting beliefs, that having been forming since we were small children. Here are some common limiting beliefs:

I’m not a good person, therefore I don’t deserve to be loved.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do, so I must be stupid.

If I don’t do everything possible to please others, they won’t want me, and I will be alone.

Even though others seem to be enjoying their lives and living purposefully, it’s not really possible for me.

I have never had much, and anyways having stuff is not very spiritual, so it’s okay that I can barely even pay for rent and food.

I’m not a lovable person.

I have had this pain for 20 years, and I will suffer from it for the rest of my life.

Great news, people! You can remove the rocks from the dark caverns and HEAL YOURSELF! Yes, it’s a process, but it doesn’t have to be hard. We start right HERE NOW. And we keep showing up in this moment, tending to ourselves.

It’s So Hard To Watch People Struggle

I have been observing myself again. And I notice my propensity to feel sadness or disappointment as certain people go through their struggles. Part of me wishes I could move them along and get them to a place where they are all better. Then I realize that part of me is the part of me that is really only concerned with how I feel, and I don't want to have to feel what the other feels.

It's hard for me to watch other people struggle. It reminds me of when my kids were learning how to tie their shoes, and after what seemed like an eternity of them trying, I just wanted to grab the shoelaces and do it for them. That would put me out of my misery, and I wouldn't have to watch them struggle anymore. Then I realize their struggle is why they are here. It is their path of evolution. And when I try to "help" by doing it for them or hurry them along so they can be done with that lesson and be happy, I shortcut their growth. (This is the plight of the co-dependent and enabler.)

So as I step back and observe myself with my selfish agenda to feel better and not have to see others struggle, I also go back to the realization of why we are here: to evolve and grow. Seeing this brings me back to the wisdom of allowing myself and others to be who they are without trying to force solutions. It's like baking a cake. It's important not to take it out of the oven until it's done.

Today I choose to support those people in my life who are struggling by sending lots of love and grace and peace. And I am grateful for these lessons we are learning together as we grow and return to Source from whence we came.
