Vibrate Your Desire

Sometimes, when we find ourselves facing a difficult “condition,” we get stuck in the problem where the solution cannot be found.  When you find yourself in this place, it is important to remember that your True Self knows the easiest path to resolving your problem.  Your job is to soften your feeling around the problem and increase your belief that a solution exists.  Here’s a really easy way to change your focus from the problem to the solution and increase your belief at the same time.

Tell yourself that you intend to remember how easy it can be to manifest a solution.  In fact, you manifest solutions continuously!  If the condition you are experiencing is a shortage of money, then the solution you want is a quick manifestation of money that resolves the shortage.  Get out a piece of paper and write this across the top:

My True Self is an EXPERT at creating solutions!

Then, for the next 10-15 minutes, search your mind for every time you received money just in time or in unpredictable ways.  You will immediately feel the shift in your vibration as you recall how powerful you are at creating solutions!  It might take a few minutes to get the flow of memories going, but they will come.

Here’s an extra little tip…  the solution you are remembering didn’t have to happen to you!  If you love something that happened to someone else, by all means, put it on your list!  This process has multiple benefits!  You’re telling the universe that you want more things like this, your belief is gaining strength, and you are allowing… not bad just for making a little list!

In my life, I’ve been very blessed at creating free things… a free computer, 2 free cruises and other trips, and so much more.  Recently, I made a list of everything I could remember that I received totally free.  I literally had pages of things that were given to me.  Honestly, I couldn’t believe all the things I had been given when I looked at the list!  I didn’t have to “try” to feel grateful.  It was just easy for me to get into a genuine feeling of gratitude after seeing this list!  And, after making the list, I immediately started attracting more free things!

You can do this for anything that you want to create more of in your life.  If success is what you want, write down every time you’ve ever experienced what is success to you.  If a new job is what you want, write down every time you’ve experienced being presented with a new opportunity.  If you want more things for free, write down everything you can remember receiving for free including presents, things you’ve won, etc.

Just remember… If you’ve done it before, the pathway already exists.  You don’t have to re-create it.  You just have to tune back in to it!  Have fun remembering what a magnificent creator you are!

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

Several weeks ago, I listened to an interview between Denise Coates and Steve Pavlina.  Steve tells his story about how he began deliberately working with the law of attraction.  It had to do with finding coins wherever he went.  It sounded like fun to me, so I suggested that we make it a game in the Feel It Real forum.  It was named Curious Intenders.

The idea is that you start by intending to attract a penny and let it go!  You do not need to think about it again!  You will find the penny in a curious way!  Once you do, you can intend to find a nickel then a dime then a quarter.  Just keep working your way up.  In the last three weeks, I’ve attracted approximately 50 cents in change, and today, I found my first dollar bill on the ground!  I am keeping all of my “found” money in a mug that says “Future Millionaire” on it to remind me that I am filling my millionaire cup.  Whenever I find money, I think “I’m getting closer to becoming a millionaire.”  The universe doesn’t care how much money is in the cup.  I don’t add up what is in the cup.  I just keep thinking “I am getting closer.”  The only thing that matters is that I believe it!

Here is what is so great about this game.  Most of us are not attached to finding a penny or coins or even a dollar bill.  Easy…. Right?  What usually stops us from manifesting large sums of money is that our belief level doesn’t match our wanting.  With this game, you are starting a path where you can believe and see money coming in all the time.  The universe will respond to your feeling that money is coming to you every day.  And, you will not believe how exciting it is to find a penny when you’ve intended it!  In your excitement, just keep telling the universe… more, more, more!  If you do what I am doing, putting it in a millionaire mug or jar, you will see your fund growing.  You can even envision your cup or jar being nearly full no matter how much money is in it!

Since I started playing the game, I won $100.00 on scratch off lottery tickets, I received several cash gifts, I received a couple of free services that I wanted, and I received a gift of make-up items and a pair of shoes!  I also received several smaller items.  This is just what I can remember.

Just keep in mind this is supposed to be fun!  I didn’t start looking to attract other things.  Attraction just happens when you have an open pathway.  Do it purely for the fun, and you will begin to see the fringe benefits of playing a little game like this one!  It wouldn’t surprise me if your business started to attract more customers or you receive a pay raise or bonus.  Anything you’ve been wanting can come through when you’ve opened up a way.

Play and have fun!

Pretend for a moment that you could change the circumstances of  your physical world as quickly as a screen in a movie.  In order for you to see what’s on the screen, you would hit a button and take a look.  At all other times, you are in total and complete darkness.

Now, close your eyes and pretend for a moment that there are no external circumstances whatsoever in your world.  You are in that place of total darkness.  You have a clean slate starting right now.  While your eyes are closed, listen to what you are thinking about and what is the overall feeling that you carry?  After you’ve listened and sensed your overall feeling tone, think about how what you are thinking and feeling might translate into physical tangible items and experience.

If you were to open your eyes and take a look at the screen, what do you expect you would see?  Would you be happy with what you have created?  If not, close your eyes again.  Turn your attention to your thoughts and feelings.  What would you adjust?  How could you make it better?  What if there were no external circumstances at all.  There is only this world you are aware of when your eyes are closed.  How would you live there?  What would your world look like and feel like?  What would your relationships be like?  How much money would you have?  What kind of home do you live in and where is it located?  What kind of clothes do you wear? What are your favorite activities?

I hope you just had a big moment of realization as I did as I wrote this article.  Can you see that without the existence of external circumstances, we would let our imaginations soar and live an amazing life filled with everything we love.

As soon as we add the external circumstances, it gets messy.  In our attempt to deal with problematic external circumstances, we spend our imagination and feeling time on everything but the amazing life we really desire!

How much time do you spend in this internal space imagining and feeling your life just as it already exists?  When you think about your home, do you think about your current home?  When you think about money, do you think about the money you now have and the same regular money coming in?  Do you think about your relationships as they usually go?

In order to use the law of attraction consciously, become a frequent visitor to this internal space.  Let that amazing life of your dreams come alive as much as you can.  Little by little, your new life will find its way into your external reality.

Have you been watching all of the press on Michael Jackson’s life and death?  I don‘t think anyone would disagree with the fact that for the majority of his life, he was a tremendous role model for what it means to be in the flow.  He demonstrated for us what it looks like to be a master creator.  Everyone that has spoken on his behalf talked about how he knew what he wanted, and he most often got it.  He was a master of focus.

I am left wondering how many people, if given the chance, would choose to live in his shoes.  He is a person who was blessed enough to live the highest of highs and perhaps the lowest of lows.  The question is would you take the lows if you knew you would get to experience the highs?

What are we more afraid of in life?  Are we more afraid to live a life where we never experience success and flow?  Or, are we more afraid to live a life where we experience the greatest levels of success and contribution and perhaps also meet with so called failures?

What do you think Michael Jackson would say now?  Despite the problems of Michael’s life, he left his mark on the world.  He showed us both sides of what can happen when you get your vibration moving at rapid speeds.  Do you think his journey was worth the pitfalls that he experienced later?

I, for one, think his journey was incredibly worthwhile!  Without brave people like Michael, we would never know what is possible.  I feel blessed to have seen what it looks like when creative energy runs unrestricted through a human being.

It doesn’t matter what is going on in your life right now.  If you can dream, you can create new circumstances.  I always say that the law of attraction is not something new.  It is simply a law we are working with more consciously.  The reason I mention that is because I want to point out that you already know how to use it.  If you think about your life, any time you have gone from one set of circumstances to another, you were employing the law of attraction.

Did you get bad grades in school and then find yourself graduating with honors?

Have you been totally without money and then in an instant something happened to change your financial situation?

We all have a story.  If we were to have a conversation, we could tell each other at least one story about the way we were versus the way we are now.  Have you ever thought about what changed inside of you that caused you to be who you are now today.   If you really think about it, you can pinpoint the thoughts or decisions that you made on the inside that lead to a change in your physical circumstances.

This process of pinpointing the thought and decision is the process of matching your desire vibrationally.  This is the work so to speak.  What makes it difficult is that you don’t know what you don’t know.  For some desires, you have to be willing to walk in the dark for as long as it takes to see light.  It isn’t that your desire isn’t manifesting.  It’s just that there is something in your thoughts and feelings that is out of sync with the truth of the universe.  It’s just that it isn’t manifesting quickly enough for you.  When you are walking through the dark hallway on the way to your manifestation, you have to be open to seeing things differently.  This is the time to pay attention to what people are saying to you and listening closely to your thoughts and ideas.  If you can walk down that dark hallway in faith that all things that are happening are taking you to your desire, you will absolutely find yourself manifesting your dream.  Just keep in mind that being out of alignment with your desire means you have to change some thoughts that are not working for you given where you want to go.

The difference in the past versus the present is that we are now aware that the law of attraction is working.  So, don’t be tempted to think it isn’t working for you if you haven’t manifested your desire.  Can you think of something you’ve done in the past that didn’t quite turn out the way you had hoped.  Maybe it’s something you made with your hands or something you fixed.  You kept working at it and working at it until eventually it was just the way you wanted it to be.  Learning to use the law of attraction is the same process only the “working at it” part is happening in the realm of thoughts and feelings.  You are a musician searching for the right musical notes to go with the lyrics.  You keep playing with it until you find the right combination of keys and notes.  Don’t give up on the song if it isn’t perfect right away.

Be willing to walk in darkness for a time in pursuit of your dream!  Sure, you might bump into some walls, trip a few times, and skin your knees.  People might even laugh at you and tell you that you will fail or that you are crazy.  Don’t concern yourself with what anyone else sees as impossible!  If you do, you have handed over your wallet to them.  Your dreams are your value in life!  Don’t leave your dreams sitting on a shelf.  Let them come alive in your mind.  If you keep them in mind through whatever darkness, you will find the sweet reward of light.

I just have to share this story!  A couple of days ago, my neighbor knocked on my door at 9am and asked me to come outside and help her find her dog.  At 4:30am, she let him out, and when she called him he didn’t come back.  She could see him at the furthest point in the yard where there was still light, but he wasn’t turning around.  So, she went to get her shoes and a flashlight, but by the time she got outside, he was nowhere to be found.  He wasn’t wearing his dog tag either.  We searched for an hour looking under every tree, every shrub, up and down our street, but with no luck.  I realized that because I wasn’t as emotional, I could purposefully hold images and thoughts for his quick return.  I imagined that I could see him walking up the yard, as I saw him do many times.  I kept affirming that nothing is ever lost in the universe; my higher self knows right where the dog is and is leading me to him.  I also imagined a giant u-shaped magnet pulling him to me in this powerful magnetic stream.  I drove around the neighborhood and spoke to several neighbors to let them know to keep an eye out for the dog.  Later, in the evening, I decided to drive around one more time.  The dog is 17 years old and very small, so I didn’t think he could go too far.  When I was driving around, I actually went further than I thought he could go.  It was totally illogical.  I just went wherever like I’ll turn left here, and right here, etc.  Eventually, I was sitting at a stop sign.  As I looked to the left, I saw a couple outside working in their yard with their four dogs!  I said “well, if I was a dog, that’s where I’d go!”  So, I drove up to their house and asked them to be on the lookout.  Before I drove away, the man asked me for my phone number.  He commented that his wife is always finding missing dogs.  As I drove away, I thought “that woman is going to be the one to find the dog.”  When I returned home, I looked on foot until dark, because I really wanted him home snug in his little bed before the end of the night.  At 9pm, I went inside and had to let go for the night… or so I thought.  At 11pm, my phone rang, the man on the other end said “You were at my house earlier… I have your dog!”  I screamed and said “And I know exactly who you are and where you are because of all the people I talked to today, I only gave out my phone number one time!”  The dog was happy and safely returned home within 24 hours!

If you have been using the law of attraction consciously, then you have probably wondered why you have success sometimes but not all of the time.  The problem may lie in the state of mind from which you are asking.

Just as an example…  let’s say you are standing in your kitchen with a friend.  You know that there are many bottles of water in the refrigerator.  You turn to your friend and ask him or her to please open the refrigerator and hand you a bottle of water.  Because you are completely sure the bottle of water is there, you ask from a place of total ease and expectancy.

Your true self always has a fully stocked refrigerator.  So, if you ask from this place of total ease and expectancy, you are simply releasing something that is already there.  And, you are releasing something that already belongs to you.  You do not need to get permission to drink the water.  You just choose to drink the water.

The problem is that if you are focused on your external conditions, and you don’t believe that you have a fully stocked refrigerator, then you are asking from a place of disbelief and fear.  And, you feel like your asking as if the universe might tell you no.

You ask for many things all the time that you know you can have right now.  Think about how you feel in those circumstances.  Then, think about something that you don’t have any idea how you can have it.  Can you feel the difference in your approach?  This is the difference between having and not having.

The law of attraction matches your feeling tone when you are asking.  When you ask in a pure state of knowing that you have a stocked refrigerator, you experience feedback that you have begun a creation in the direction that you have asked.  But, when you ask from a place of feeling like the refrigerator is empty, you either get no feedback at all or an experience that your problem is getting worse.

So, before you consciously ask for anything, check in with yourself first.  Remind yourself that the refrigerator is totally full.  You’re just about to ask the universe for a bottle of water that you know is already there!

Practice this on some things that don’t really matter very much to you.  Think of a question you can ask your true self to provide you with an answer.  Feel the easy spirit in which you ask.  If you can find this feeling every time you ask, even if you have pressing conditions, you will make contact in the direction that you wish to go.

Have you been trying to accept a new belief about life and what you want to experience, but you have not had a result?  For example, maybe you are trying to see yourself as rich, but because of your circumstances, you do not feel rich.  So, you end up feeling worse instead of better, because thinking you are rich just reminds you that you are not experiencing being rich right now in your life.

This is the tool I use to get around that feeling I just described.  I find that I have to think of myself as two parts that are focused differently.

Part 1 is external.  The external me is in charge of watching the movie of life, choosing what to think about things, and making decisions.

Part 2 is internal and is the magic one.  The magic one holds the data.  It hears what I am continually thinking and feeling, enters in the calculations, and gives me just the right equivalent experience.  To this part of me, these calculations take a second and are adjusting all the time.  It knows the way to everything and always says yes to the external me.

So, when you are imagining that you are rich, you only need to believe that the magic one knows the way to being rich.  If you can accept that when you ask for something (wanted or not), your magic one says yes always, you have begun the creation.

Once you’ve given your magic one it’s instruction, it is taking a picture of where you are and determining the best way for you to experience being rich.  Keep in mind that part of the job of the magic one is to teach you or show you what you are thinking and feeling that is keeping you away from being rich!  Believe it or not, your magic one is showing you what you need to make an inner energetic shift, so you can attract the experience of being rich.  Everything that manifests externally MUST be held in vibration in your body before you can see it.  So, if you can accept that the external one is not yet seeing rich only because you haven’t mastered the pattern yet, and not because you are not in fact rich, you are on your way.  The key is not to turn backwards and think it isn’t working.  You may just not be accustomed to decoding the messages of your magic one.

The trick is that you are seeking to experience something that is unfamiliar to you.  You don’t know the being state of rich until you know it!  You don’t know what you don’t know.  So, don’t be discouraged or tempted to think it isn’t working.  You are learning how to adjust vibrations, and this is a skill that needs to be developed just like anything else.

Do you know that all of your desires travel along the same path?  There are not separate paths for jobs, money, houses, children, soul mates, health, etc.  There is just one path.

Today, I noticed that I was feeling fear about a desire that I have that has not quite manifested yet.  It’s a great big desire - bigger than any desire that has come before.  This is what I discovered in the face of my fear.

Fear hides in places we haven’t been before.  Think about that for a second.  Isn’t it true that once you’ve done something that you were once afraid to do, it feels easier and easier as you do it again?

My desire and my determination are prompting fear because this is a ledge that I haven’t walked up to exactly in this way before.

Think about this… what comes easy to you?

Do you find getting a new job easy?
Do you find creating money easy?
Are you good at starting new relationships?
Do you solve problems easy?

Whatever it is that comes easy to you generally doesn’t prompt fear.  It comes easy to you because you never thought it was difficult.  You might have had good role models or lots of positive reinforcement, but whatever the reason, you never saw it as difficult.  It is also true that you know a path, practical action steps, as to HOW to bring these things into your life easily.  You have done it once, and you know you can do it again.

It is when we find ourselves standing in a place we have never been before when fear tries to pull us down - to chase us back to safety - to a place we already know.  If we go forward in faith, in not knowing HOW, we grow and become stronger, and more aware.  If we go back to safety, we could miss our chance to know ourselves more fully.

So, here is my point…  the path that your desires travel whether you have done it before or not is the same path!  The only difference is that you have not established a path for HOW it can come.  This is when you have to work on your belief much more than usual. Fear doesn’t mean you can’t have it.  Fear means I am in unknown territory!

When you find yourself here, know that you are deepening your knowingness of yourself as a creator.  When you know that you can find your way from having no idea which way to turn to arriving where you wanted to go in the first place - you have reclaimed your power.  This is true freedom!

There are so many who are feeling fearful about money right now that I am choosing to use this as an example.  If you are feeling fear in relationship to money, it is only because you are fearful about money!  Can you imagine that?  Now, go back to my original statement that all of your desires are fulfilled along the same path.  What did you say comes easily to you?  Let’s say you are good at attracting help from others.

WHAT COMES EASILY
I am good at attracting help from others, therefore I believe that it is easy to attract help from others.

WHAT DOESN’T COME EASILY
I am not good at attracting money, therefore I believe that money doesn’t come easily.

Now, here is how you can use your belief in what comes easily as a bridge to help you create the thing that doesn’t tend to come easily.

I am good at attracting help from others.
The process for attracting help from others is the same as attracting money.
Therefore, I am good at both attracting help from others and attracting money.

Help from others and money are fulfilled along the same path.  It is just as easy for the universe to provide me with help from others as it is to provide me with a steady stream of money.

There is nothing in this universe that is more difficult to create - only our thoughts that make one thing seem more difficult than another.  I hope that when you read this, you disarmed your fear and saw it for what it was - a need for more belief - and not a need to turn around and go back to safety.  If you did, then you reached that feeling place that brought your desire closer to you.  Congratulations!  This is what we mean by Feeling It Real!

Today, I was watching the recording of an Oprah show from last week where she discussed the topic of our poor economy and how this happened. I decided I wanted to write about this topic and the law of attraction. There is so much fear and panic around this issue that I wanted to offer a perspective on how not to plug in to it. My own technique is to pretend that it is just a movie. I am just an observer – it isn’t real – and I can change the channel at any time. In this particular instance, as I pretended, I wondered what kind of thought would bring this kind of manifestation about. I couldn’t believe the simplicity of the answer to my question! We have to remind ourselves that “HOW” our desire will be manifested is not our job! We have made credit the how to get our desires met and have stopped imagining that our desires can come in many, many wonderful ways – ways that can truly dazzle us – and ways that do not put us into debt.

Example 1: Not letting the universe provide the HOW

I really want to go out to dinner and have a really expensive meal
I can’t do it, I don’t have the money
I could use my credit card to pay
I’ll have the money later

Example 2: The universe provides the HOW

I really want to go out to dinner and have a really expensive meal

I’m really in the mood to go to “your favorite restaurant.” I love the atmosphere there. The people are so friendly and helpful. I really have a taste for the filet mignon and one of their award winning desserts. The music in the background always gives me the best feeling. I sure love to go that restaurant.

A friend calls you on the phone and says he wants to take you out for dinner at your favorite restaurant to thank you for the nice thing you did to help him out.

The next time you have a desire and you immediately want to use credit to meet your desire – catch yourself – and decide to have some fun with the universe. Try Denise’s Feel It Real game “I’ll Take One Of Those, Please.” Have fun imagining all the things you appreciate about your desire and watch the magical ways the universe can bring it to you.
