Manifesting

We take a close look at our comfort zone. We decide something's not comfortable in our lives anymore. This is our inner compass (God, Spirit, Universe, High Self - whatever we choose to call it) letting us know it's time for us to change, grow and evolve into a higher level of being. Ok, so it's not a comfortable place to be physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually - any or all of the above. Then what?

We can decide "change" would be a good thing. Change isn't always easy, immediate or fun - more often than not our lessons are painful. But the decision to change requires a focus point. One of my favorite tarot readers tells me "sleeping on the fence is painful" . Sometimes we need a "miracle". A Course in Miracles calls a miracle "a shift in perception"; it also says that "there is no order in the difficulty of miracles". There are no limits, there are not quotas no miracles greater than others; we're dealing with The Universer after all. Go ahead and ask but before you ask, be clear.

This is a biggy. No time to be wishy-washy or for limited thinking here. Choosing carefully what we would like to manifest or the new direction we'd like to continue in requires clarity of thought. There's an inner knowing that always points in the direction we should be heading. Sometimes we listen, sometimes we decide to ignore it. Whatever it is, once we get to a Clear Choice, then it's time to state it.

Placing an intention is like choosing from the Cosmic Menu and telling your Waiter you'll have your special order of "this". Some say you should write your intentions down and read them three times a day. Some say you need to have a special ritual. Some say thought or prayer is your direct line to the Divine Kitchen. However you state your intention, though, is entirely up to what feels right for you.

*Using positive language is a metaphysical known - "I want this" instead of "I don't want that". The Universe, being only positive, doesn't understand the negative statement.

Whatever it is, we really, really want it. Details are good ("Oh, and make sure my Mr. Right is AVAILABLE!!!)" but we can't be overly controlling. It's ok to want things how you want them, but the Universe ultimately knows what's best. Finishing with a "this or something better for the highest good of all concerned" to any intention is the way to make sure you plan works out for the best in all ways. How many times have you wanted something and got it in a way you hadn't even imagined? There are no "glitches" in the Universal system. Is there anything else we need for this? Ahhhh yes, one of the most important points.....

Emotion is like cosmic velcro in manifesting. Do you want this new comfort zone in your life? How much? Sit back and "feel" what it's like to have what you want. "What you put out there is what you attract." Positive energy attracts positive energy. Don't worry about the details of how it's going to happen or when or where, just imagine you've got things where you want them. Stay in the energy state for as long as you can as often as you can. Some people meditate on the emotion. Some people write and rewrite as often as possible. Some people use a traffic jam as a good time to take a breather and go into a better emotional zone. However you choose to acheive your "zone" is up to you, but know it's powerful. Form follows thought - but faster when it's backed with emotion.

Metaphysic speak calls this "detachment." This is probably the most difficult part - the TRUST part. This is what we need to do, though. We need to act and feel as if we already have whatever it is we want. There are a lot of techniques to help those of us who just aren't great at Trusting. I know a few people who take an ordinary jar and call it a "God Jar" or "Prayer Jar". One friend writes "as if" in gratitude form "Thank you God for ~" on a slip of paper as if she's already received it, puts it in the jar and forgets about it. When the jar is full, she reads them all again before she blesses them and throws them out. She says the only time she DOESN'T get what she requested, she's glad she didn't because the situation didn't turn out to be in her Highest Good. However you choose to Detatch & Trust, it's an essential part of getting to the new comfort zone and knowing that YOU ultimately are choosing what shows up in your life. We need to keep our thoughts in a clear, positive energy zone. Then we need to....

Metaphysic writings say that what we desire is actually what the Universe wants for us too, so there's nothing wrong with wanting to be happy, healthy or prosperous, in fact that's why we're here. Let's say we ask for perfect health in some situation. We are clear that we want perfect health, we set our intention to get healthy, pray for perfect health, we are visualising and feeling perfect health and then what? We release it to Spirit and watch who and what shows up to help us in our process. There are no accidents, nothing is randomly planned. Jung called it "synchronicity", some might call it "coincidence" but once you ask, you are never refused. How you interpret and choose the help that you are given is your Free Will.

Without a doubt, this is the cosmic glue that holds manifestation details together. Being grateful for what you have is sure to attract better. Humans evolve; it's not that we can't be happy where we are or with what we have, we need to learn. We don't stay in any spot forever, we're constantly in motion. If we choose to learn through a better situation, we need to acknowledge that right here right now is what we've been manifesting by our thoughts so far. We need to be grateful for what we asked for and got. This appreciation is not only respectful of the benevolence of the Universe, it's a great way to go back to square one in manifesting carefully and clearly .

If you want it to be different, try doing it a different way!
