Vibrate Your Desire

Many years ago, I moved from Ohio to Florida to take a new job with a major telecommunications manufacturer.  My new job came with a spectacular relocation package.  One of the perks included flying me to Florida to find a place to live.  In advance of my trip, I spent hours online looking at apartments.  I found one that I really liked and had a good feeling about.  I knew that I wanted to live in a relatively new complex not too far from where I would work.  I also knew how much space I needed, what kind of amenities I liked, and they had to allow my dog, Haley, to live there!

When I arrived in Florida, I was a bit overwhelmed.  I’m not so good with maps, and I had to find my way around by myself.  I looked at several apartments that were on the way to the one I found online.  But none of them felt right to me.  When I arrived at the one I found online, I knew right away this was the place I wanted to be!  It was perfect… and best of all, they had two buildings that were dedicated for people who have big dogs.  There was just one problem.  There were no openings for the size apartment I needed in either of the buildings, and none coming up that were known.  I didn’t know what to do.  I just knew this was the place, but it wasn’t working out.

I left the premises and drove down the street to get some privacy and check in with my inner guidance.  I sat in a K-mart parking lot while I asked for guidance.  I immediately heard “Take an apartment in another building, ANY building.”

So, I made my way back to the complex.  I asked if I could take an apartment in another building and move to the big dog building as soon as the apartment I wanted came available.  They agreed.  I had no idea what would happen, but by doing this, it meant that my dog had to stay in Ohio until the right apartment came open.  I just had to believe that it would come together somehow, because I didn’t want to leave her behind.

On the day the movers were at my house, I received a call from the apartment complex.  Guess what… a woman who was scheduled to move in to the apartment I wanted in the big dog building started to move in and changed her mind!  The apartment was never lived in, and they called to offer it to me first.  Of course, there was nothing to think about.  Haley joined me in Florida shortly after I moved in my things.  I was thankful I was able to hear my inner guidance and take the leap of faith that it would work out.  This is truly what it means to believe even before you see it!

Several years ago, I was experiencing a shortage of money.  There was money on the way, but I needed some to show up right away.  You see, my dog is my child, and I cannot take it when she is in distress or pain.  I have to take her regularly to the vet every few months for this small problem.  I started noticing that she was showing symptoms that it was time to get to the veterinarian’s office.  I decided I didn’t want to wait for money to come.  I wanted to take her that day.  So, I decided to ask for what I needed.  I stated that I wanted my dog, Haley, to feel good, and I wanted to take her to the veterinarian’s office in the afternoon.  I asked for a way to be found to make that happen.

Just after I asked, I went into my bathroom to find that my toilet was leaking.  I called the landlord, and he called the plumber.  Within an hour or so, the plumber was at my door.  He was making small talk with me and asked what I do for a living.  I told him that I just got involved with this jewelry business.  He commented that he was planning to leave my house and go to a nearby store to buy a piece of jewelry for his wife for valentine’s day.  Then he said, “maybe I’ll just buy something from you.”  You can see where this is going!  He left my house with a nice bracelet for his wife, and I had more than enough money to take my dog to the veterinarian that afternoon!  It was a great match for the both of us!  He later told me that his wife really loved her bracelet.

When you ask, stay open to what happens next.  You never know when a situation disguised as a problem (leaky toilet) can provide the solution you are seeking.

This is truly my favorite manifestation story.  It’s not the biggest manifestation, but it is the most special!  It is clear that it was my pure love for my dog that created the rapid result delivered right to my door!

I had a really funny moment the other day.  There’s something I’ve been wanting that hasn’t shown up yet, and I was becoming highly irritated about it.  My conscious mind tried to bully my subconscious mind into submission.  Within minutes, I heard a thought that made my head jolt back.  “We are One.  Who are you trying to convince?”  I busted into laughter.  The spell I was under was instantly broken.

What I really want to share with you is the insight that followed.  I started thinking about best friends.  Who is your best friend, and why is that person your best friend?  When you need to talk, do you expect your friend to be there?  When you need help, do you know you can count on this person?  When times are good and times are bad, is that person steady in your life?  When you set out on a new adventure, does that person come along?  Sometimes or many times, you don’t even have to ask… that person was a step ahead of you.  This person in your life keeps coming back for more even when you’ve been difficult or hurtful.

I thought… if only we could know that these are the qualities of our true self all the time.  Our true self is our true best friend.  Sometimes, we approach this best friend as if he/she is holding out the goods from us.  But really, this is just a belief that this part of us is authority over us rather than partner with us.  It is really a partnership born of cooperation.

The next time you identify something you want to bring into your life, and you feel it is impossible…. remember your true self best friend.  Call up the feeling you would have if you picked up the phone to call the most reliable person in your life.  Call on your true self from the same feeling of knowingness as you do this reliable person.  And, don’t be surprised if you get a shockingly quick manifestation!

Just after I had this thought process, I received a telephone call from a new friend of mine.  It was a great wink from the universe because he was talking about how he was going to help me with something, and then he said “I’m going to be your new best friend.”

Is there something that you want right now?  And, the more you think about it, the more you want it?  It’s important to understand that when we “want” something, the “wanting” itself runs contrary to attraction.  An alternate meaning of wanting could be “I don’t have it.”  You don’t give a thought to wanting something you already have…tangibly that is.

Now, let’s talk about having.  Having is the feeling that you are shooting for when using the law of attraction deliberately.  Remember, the law says like attracts like.  When you feel that you have it, it has to become tangible.

Don’t be hard on yourself if you are stuck in “wanting” though.  Every new desire starts with wanting.  So, every new desire starts in a place of non-attraction.  Wow!  So, as soon as you acknowledge that there is something you want, the point is to work with the idea of having it in your mind and feelings until you accept the idea fully.  When you accept it, you will see it tangibly.  Things that are easy for you to accept manifest quickly.

Learning to sense where you are when you launch a new desire is key.  For example, maybe you want to learn about a new topic.  Well, that’s super simple right?  Most of us would just start with google, right?  No hesitation.  Easy breezy.

As contrast, let’s say what you want is to increase your income by double.  How does that idea make you feel?  Does it have the same easy feeling as getting information on a new topic?  Are you agitated, irritated or frustrated by the idea of being able to attract double your income?

If you feel agitated, irritated or frustrated, then what you are feeling is a variation of wanting.  What I am about to say is big time important!

THE FEELINGS OF AGITATION, IRRITATION, OR FRUSTRATION are not saying “Are you crazy….you can’t double your income (haha)!”
THE FEELINGS OF AGITATION, IRRITATION, OR FRUSTRATION are simply saying that at this moment in time, you do not feel that you can attract double your income.  That’s it!  That’s all it means!

So now, if you really want to double your income.  You have to start working with ideas in your mind that will allow you to accept that it is possible for you.  Don’t stop just because you don’t think it’s possible right this second.  Here’s a little trick to try.  Instead of deciding it’s impossible and forgetting the idea altogether, turn it into a game for the next couple of weeks.  Forget completely that you want to double your income.  Put that idea on the backburner.  You’re not going to manifest that right now.  Instead, you are going to manifest attracting people into your life who have increased their income substantially.  You are also going to manifest seeing opportunities for increasing income everywhere.  Every morning, before you start your day, just give it some thought.  Remind yourself to see these people and these opportunities.  This game is as easy as attracting information about a new topic, right?  You don’t need to act on any of the ideas you find.  You just have to see them.  Keep a log of the people you notice and the ideas that are presented.  After a couple of weeks, look over your log, and notice if the idea is feeling a little more possible now.  Just have fun with this… there is no pressure in looking for people making the money you want or seeing ideas.

Please send me a comment if you found this helpful!  And, definitely send me a comment if you play the game for the next couple of weeks.  I would love to hear what happens!

Let’s face it.  We’re all salespeople no matter what it is we do for a living.  So, it’s a good idea to understand your part in what makes the sale.  I am going to share a fun game that I made up and have been using with success over the past couple of weeks.  Before I share the game with you, I want to remind you of one very important point.  Here it is…

When you ask, the answer is always yes!  You are not asking the universe for permission.  You are not asking a parent who might say no.  Your firm decision to sell whatever it is you sell means it is as good as sold.  The moment you decided, the universe identified your buyers.  They are the counterpart to your manifestation.  They are ready and waiting to step up and buy and fulfill your asking.  Assume this and don’t question it!

From here on out, your part is to turn your attention to any feelings you have that will bring it to fruition physically.  It is done.  Your items or services are sold.  Now, you have to tune yourself to believe it.  As soon as you feel that you believe it, let it go!  Stop thinking about it.

This is how I used the game.  Recently, I decided to sell some things on eBay that have been hanging around in my closet or jewelry box way too long!  Out of maybe 15 items, I knew certain things would sell.  I had no question about it at all!  Sure enough, everything that I felt sure would sell did…and fast!  I knew that everything that was left was sold too, only it hadn’t happened physically yet.  As I thought about it, I realized that I might be blocking it from happening because those items are not my taste and style.  This was the reason I made up the game.

Here is how you play…

You are pretending that you are the customer making the purchase.  Write yourself a letter or a testimonial from their point of view.  Say everything that you wish people would tell you about your product or service.  Do not spare any gushing!  Just let it rip!  No holding back allowed!  You will be feeling so good about the exchange between yourself and the customer.  When you feel a real sense of gratitude in your chest, you’re right where you want to be.  Remember the feeling and recall it whenever you start wondering about your sales.  When you have reached that place….Stop!  Let it go!  I mean really let it go.

I did this process for three items that I wasn’t so sure about.  It took a couple of days, but one of those items sold today!

The other benefit of doing this process is it will help you to naturally connect with how you are helping someone else no matter what you sell.  Sometimes, we are not sure how selling a product is contributing to someone’s life.  Become the customer.  Feel how you have impacted their life, no matter how slight.

One last point… never give up on something you really want just because you haven’t seen it happen yet.  The universe said yes to your request.  You may need to work at the internal modifications until you find the click.  Just don’t give up or give in!

Here’s a sample letter to help you get the idea.

Dear Chriss,

I am soooo excited that I just had to drop you a note!  I just bought both of your multi-colored stone charm bracelets.  I saw them somewhere years ago but when I went back to buy them, they were gone.  You can imagine my surprise when I saw them on eBay.  I grabbed them up right away.  Thanks so much for putting them up for sale.  Finding these really made my day.

Thanks again!
A totally happy customer
