Activate Abundance! Blogapalooza 2012: Manifesting – What Do You Want? Do You Know How to Get It?


Manifesting - Do You Know What You Want? Do You Know How to Get It?
Manifesting – Do You Know What You Want? Do You Know How to Get It?
Do you sometimes decide you want something and it appears in quicksilver time?
Do you sometimes long for something and it takes eons to appear, or sometimes just never comes to fruition?
Are you aware of the way you feel in both cases?

Manifesting comes from feeling the feeling of what it’s like to already have that which you desire.
Say you really want chocolate – and you spend some time thinking about chocolate, and you can imagine how it would taste…then you start to feel the warmth of happiness in your heart because of how much you love the taste. Then that warmth creeps over your whole being, and you are hugging yourself and smiling because of the pleasure you feel when you are imagining your chocolaty desire.
Little by little, you come back to the room, look at the computer screen and remember the task at hand, letting go of the yummy feeling that came with your chocolate dream.

Later that evening, your significant other comes home from work, and he or she is holding a little plastic bag from the store and smiling. 
“I got you a present!” You open it and, yep! Of course. It is a box of your favorite chocolates.
You are astonished as you realize you were only just wishing for it that very day! Your partner must be a mind reader! Well, sorta…He or she felt the vibes that you yourself jump-started into being when you powerfully felt what it was like to taste and savor the luscious treat!
This all happens on the energetic plane, but the more you pay attention, the more you will notice that…this stuff works!

Be careful, because it works – no matter what the feeling.
If, say, you wish for chocolate and you really wish your partner was sensitive enough that they knew you wanted chocolate, and you lament that they are so insensitive that they never bring you presents and they never know what you want and they are so wrapped up in their own life that they never take one moment to think about you and your needs, and this feels really really bad, and makes you very sad, and so on….
In this case, do you think your partner will get the hint and spontaneously decide to stop at the candy store on the way from work?
Heck no!! Because not only are you feeling “bad” and “sad” that they “never” think about bringing you chocolate, you are putting the vibe out there that they are too wrapped up in their own world to ever think about what you want.
Bravo! Again you are manifesting perfectly and exactly “out there” what you are feeling on the inside!

Manifesting is magic.
It is instantaneous.
It is all about feeling.

Desire into thought, thought into feeling, feeling into the physical realm.

Here is another example:

“The world is scary, bad, dangerous, icky and unfair. Hmm, I think I will watch the news!”
And what do you think you will see? Yep, you guessed it.

Now:
“The world is beautiful, miraculous, amazing, and full of wonder. Hmm, I think I will go spend the afternoon in the garden, looking at the new flowers and the developing vegetables, watching the worms till the soil  and – Oh, is that a chrysalis? I think I can see the butterfly starting to break out! Wait, listen – a woodpecker! DUDE – check out the size of that dragonfly!! Far out! I have goosebumps!!”

I think you get the picture, yeah?
If not, please DO email me with any questions! :)

Water (A Blessing)


A Blessing for Water
A Blessing for Water
Coming through today is my love for water – physical, symbolic, powerful element of the Universe.

A BLESSING FOR WATER: 

The flow – the rapids, the trickles, streams, drizzles, steams - water, I love you.

The openness, warmth, coolness –
splashing, seafoam, swimming, misty –
the shallow, deep, reaching the horizon – and further –
holding us afloat, drinking us in, water, I drink you.

Teach me, water, to be clear.
Teach me, water, to love my mystery.

Teach me, water, to ripple when I need to speak -
be still when I need to sleep.

Water, teach me.

Show me, water, how to float without a boat.

Show me, water, how to rise and fall in perfect rhythm.

Water, love me as I love you,
as we fall together over the cliffs in deep, swooping drops –
as we drift together down tributaries to mother ocean.

Love me, water, as I love you. I can feel it.

I know you do.

Thank you.

I love you.

Thank you.

…

What is Success?
What is Success?
Success can mean many things to different people.

-It can mean you finished reading that book you’ve been meaning to read forever.
-It can mean you finally made the plans for the family vacation that has been a long time coming.
-It can mean you got a job you were hoping for.
-It can mean you have left a job that was sucking out your soul. (CONGRATULATIONS!) :)
-It can mean you have gotten started on creating the business of your dreams.
-It can mean you have learned how to relax and simply Be.

Often, we know what success looks like to ourselves. And often, we don’t take the action steps needed to fulfill our heart’s desires.
This is due to a big old energy block. This energy block is centuries old. It is an unhelpful thought form that has built up from years and years of being taught that it is not OK to be happy, joyous, successful, fulfilled.
This energy comes from the outside - and it is not valid. It is outdated. It is passé. I mean, it is like, SO Middle Ages.
Success comes from the inside. It is valid. It is hip, happening, Here and Now.

What does success mean to you?
To me success is being clean and clear and flowing on every level:

Soul, Energy, Emotions, Mind and Body.

When a challenge comes up for me, I ask:
Which level of myself is this challenge manifesting from?
And I address it thusly.
I check in with all my levels to see that each is clean, clear and flowing. I do this daily. It may sound like a lot of work, but with practice one can go through this ritual in about 5 minutes – and it is worth it to feel A-OK, and in great shape to live from a space of being empowered to create your own successful life from the inside-out!

To Your Success!

Shamans and Witches and Magic Folk – Throw Them to the Lions! WHAT??



Shamans and Witches and Magic Folk
I can feel my throat chakra wanting to let go of all the lies, the hideous ugly lies that have been going on for centuries as people have berated shamans and witches and magic folk – and situations in which people threw other people to the lions for not believing what they believe….

I weep for generations of humans who have held the key to the mysteries of the Universe only to be shunned, belittled, imprisoned, tortured, and killed for being who they were and not backing down. Killed by their fellow humans – who also had the magic inside of them – but who were too afraid of their power to own it.

I feel the pain of this phenomenon welling up and spilling out of my high-heart chakra, and out and out and out and out flowing into an ocean of Truth:


That what we are
- the interdimensional, the magical, the mystical, the powerful -
what we are is beautiful.
What we are is essential.

We are the mouthpieces of the Universe. 
 
We are the leaders of the new way of Being.
 
We are the humans who show the way of Love.

…

Will you join me in letting go of the unhelpful beliefs?

Will you take a stand by stepping into your powerful, magical, beautiful Self?

Will you walk with me on the path of Love?

I will walk with you.
