Simple Technique to Increase Manifesting Power Exponentially
In my last blog post, I promised to share with you my awesome technique for aligning with desires on a spiritual or energetic level. True to my word, I intend to share that technique with you now.
WANT TO KNOW THE SECRET INGREDIENT TO ALIGNING WITH AND MANIFESTING DESIRES?
If you’ve studied and tried to practice the Law of Attraction even just a little, then you will probably know that, in order to manifest something you desire, you must be in alignment with it. Now, that sounds simple, but again, if you’ve practiced even a little bit, you will know that it’s harder than it seems. Why? One simple word (which you’ve probably also already heard many times): Resistance! When we focus on our desires, we tend to vibrate at the “lack of fulfillment” end of the continuum rather than the “fulfillment” end because of all of our “programming”. This, of course, messes up our alignment.
CONNECTING WITH INNER GUIDANCE – DOES IT HAVE TO BE A DAILY PRACTICE?
I can honestly say that the summer just past was by far the best summer of my life. I had the good fortune of being offered the opportunity to spend the summer house- and cat-sitting for a friend in the beautiful city of Toulouse in the south of France. For the first time in my life, I am not tied to a geographic “job” location, so I was able to leap at the opportunity. The icing on the cake, however, was what I learned about myself during this eventful stay.
The Nature of Reality – What is Reality and What if I Am Not Enjoying It?
Have you ever noticed that “reality” is entirely subject to perception? Ok, there are a number of things that happen that we all see and more or less agree upon (things that we perceive collectively as a group, a people, a planet, etc.) But our perception of those things can be as different as night and day. I will use my dear parents as an example. My parents have been married for over 50 years. They live in the same house, in the same town, in the same country, on the same planet. However, they live in entirely different universes. My mother lives in a universe that is benevolent at its core – a loving universe permeated with wisdom, kindness, tolerance and understanding. My father, on the other hand, lives in a malevolent universe – a universe in which there seems to be no justice of any kind, a universe in which bad things happen to good people for no apparent reason. Now, how is it possible that two people can spend more than 50 years under the same roof and have such opposing perceptions of reality? What is “reality” anyway? Where does it come from? How does it arise and how do we “perceive” it?
Self Forgiveness
If you are grappling with an inability to forgive yourself for something you have done, a “wrong” you feel you have committed to yourself or someone else, then you should know that there is not a more disempowered place to be than that. There are not more disempowering emotions than guilt and self-worthlessness. If you are carrying these emotions around with you – even (or maybe especially) if they are running on automatic pilot so that you are no longer consciously aware of them – then you are perpetuating internal resistance which will most certainly keep you from achieving your goals and desires. It’s time to look at letting go of that resistance so you can move forward in your life.
Getting in Alignment – Gratitude: Start a “Gratitude Chain”
Gratitude is the most powerful vibration there is for attracting goodness into your life. If you could spend all of your days in true and complete gratitude, you really wouldn’t even need all of the “things” you think you need in order to make you happy, because you would simply BE happy. At the same time, you would not be able to hold back the goodness and “things” that would flow effortlessly into your experience as a result of your positive vibration of gratitude. In fact, many great spiritual teachings impart the importance of giving thanks in one form or another. Christ ALWAYS gave thanks in every prayer and he also gave a powerful parable about the one who went back to give thanks. It is the single most powerful thing you can do to shift your vibration to a higher level.
Letting Go of the Emotional Traps – Addictions
Yeah, that’s a heavy word, addiction, but I do want to devote a short chapter to the subject because I think it is worth a quick look. When I say addiction, I don’t just mean traditional addiction to chemical substances like alcohol or other mind altering drugs. Research has found that some of the most addictive and indeed most powerful substances on the planet are in fact produced by our own bodies, by our own brains. They are the chemicals that govern our emotions and our emotional reactions to different stimuli. You’ve probably heard of endorphins, which are the “feel good” peptides. This was a buzzword that was all the rage in the 80s when the fitness craze first started. Endorphins are the body’s natural pain killer and can have an opiate effect on us, inducing a feeling of “well-being”. This hype led to the terminology “runner’s high”, which refers to that great feeling people can achieve when they do strenuous exercise repeatedly.
Letting Go of the Emotional Traps
Ok. I have been on vacation in France for the past week and I have really missed doing my blog entries. I’d like to thank those who have visited my site and especially those who have left comments. You have motivated me and encouraged me to continue! I hope that was your intention.
