Manifesting is an art

Manifesting is an art.  And everyone does it.  The life you are living is a manifestation of what you primarily focus upon.

This is the way that life works.

I know that many people watched the movie, The Secret, got their hopes up only to have them crashed back down.  The reason being is that they didn’t “get” how manifestation works.

That picture up there is a view out my dining room window.

Our dreams, our desires are like those icicles.  They become frozen within us and they stay in that state until we release them.

Most people don’t know how to do this.  They don’t know how to bring their dreams into manifestation.  They do know, however, how to manifest “crap.” And because a lot of people primarily experience the bad stuff they don’t believe the good stuff can happen for them.

Which is just more crap heaped on the pile that’s already there.

I’m here today to tell you that you can manifest whatever it is you desire.  It takes a few steps:

1.  Get clear about what you want.  Specifically clear inside and out.

2.  Remove the crap, the negative beliefs, the “this can’t happen to me” stuff that is in the way of bringing your desires into manifestation.  This is the hard part.  It takes brutal honesty and openness to go within.  This is where the true battle is.  The battle for valued life.  Get clear here and anything you desire is yours.

3. Embrace each moment you live with joy.  If you are continually bending your head backwards at what was or arching forward to what can be, you lose the power of the NOW.  The only moment we ever ever truly have is the one in which we are in this moment.  This is where all power lives.

4. Let go of what no longer serves you.  This isn’t about what someone else thinks you SHOULD or SHOULD not do.  This is about YOU knowing what no longer works in your life.  Why are you prolonging the inevitable?  Get CLEAR.

5.  Quit waffling.  Quit going this works, this doesn’t work,  no this works, no this doesn’t work.  Nothing can be achieved with ambivalence.  Set an intention.  Set a goal.  AN ACHIEVABLE goal.  Not some pie in the sky, I’m going to win a million bucks goal.  That is not reasonable.  Remember — what you have to manifest with is the tools in your life — if you don’t think something can happen — it won’t.  Set an ACHIEVABLE, BELIEVABLE GOAL. The reason for this is to reinforce to yourself that it works.  Once you get this knowing humming through your body, the world changes…

6.  Be easy with yourself.  Enjoy life.  Live, love, laugh.  Quit taking yourself so friggin seriously.  It’s no good if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing.

7.  Treat yourself.  Take yourself out on a date.  I don’t care how much money you do or don’t have, find a way to do something special for yourself.  Do it NOW!

8. Relax.  Take time to relax and breath.

9.  Start a meditation practice or some other centering practice.

10.  Love and embrace yourself completely.  Deeply and completely.

Manifestation works.  Period.  I have manifested everything in my life — both good and “bad,” although the bad parts had some really killer hidden gems that take some mining work to get at them.

Everything that is in my life at this moment is a manifestation.  I’ve manifested my dream house, my twin flame–my soul mate as it were.  I’ve manifested the books I’ve needed to read and the books I’ve needed to write.  I’ve manifested a whole bunch of physical things–a memory foam bed, a big screen TV, my dogs, my land, my cars — everything.  It’s a matter of discovering what one truly wants.

Nothing you desire can be kept from you — except by you.

Think about it.  What do you dream about?

And what are you doing about it?  When are you going to do something about your dreams?

Only you can you know.

I did a blog post last year about about how the Law of Attraction Works for Everything.   And It truly does.  Most people seem to think that when working with the law of attraction you must desire money — not so.  Just create the desire for the thing that you want.  The universe will provide in it’s own time and way.

Unlocking the Law of Attraction Using Powerful Thoughts from Ezine Articles

Have you ever wondered how powerful your thoughts are? If you could imagine, just for a moment, your thoughts as people, what kind of people would they be? Would they be good people, would they be kind people or would they be nasty people? Would these be the kind of people you invite into your home? Or would you slam the door in their faces?

If you slammed the door on the idea of these “people” coming into your home — let me ask you this — then why do you invite them into your head, which is a more sacred space than your home?

You Have The Right To Choose Your Thoughts — Whether you recognize it or not, you have the right to choose your own powerful thoughts. The reason you may not be aware of this is that it falls into one of three categories:

—->Your Beliefs — what beliefs have you aligned yourself with that draw these thoughts to you.

—->Your Habits — what habits make you hold onto these powerfully negative and upsetting thoughts?

—->Your Self-Discipline- who is in charge of your thoughts — or do you just let any ‘ole thought in without realizing you have a choice.

If you are reading this article, it means you’re interested in gaining control. If you are serious about gaining control, the time has come for you to make a commitment

Commit To Thinking Better Thoughts — Make a decision about thinking better thoughts. Make a heartfelt decision about the thoughts you want to release from your daily life and then make a list of the thoughts you wish to entertain and actively invite into your life.

Here’s a sample list:

Negative Thoughts You Want To Release

* Nothing ever goes right for me
* I’m not good enough
* Why does this always happen to me
* When am I going to get this right

Positive Thoughts You Want To Invite

* I am getting good at letting go and letting it happen
* I am a child of the universe – I am perfect the way that I am
* I am attracting wonderful new opportunities into my life
* It’s so nice to know that I can move at my own pace

A small shift in your thinking can make a big shift in your life. You do have control, the time has come to take back control of not only your thoughts, but your life. Powerful thoughts married to powerful emotions create powerful events.

It really is OK to think happy thoughts and be happy, it’s not a crime!

For the most part I’ve viewed myself as a positive person, but it’s easy to be dragged down by the people around you, if you open up to them. The same happens to your thoughts. A good way to rid yourself of negative thoughts is to be aware of them. When you feel one coming on (and you will know by how you feel) just put a big white-lighted X over it and do what Wayne Dyer does, just say NEXT.

Sandra Carrington-SmithAs you may or may not know, I maintain an article directory called New Age Living Articles where I’ve had the distinct pleasure of reading and discovering a brand new author, Sandra Carrington-Smith who was posting articles to this site.

I enjoy her clear voice and her succinct descriptions, but more importantly, I enjoy the way that her words disappear and you find yourself wrapped in her story without even recognizing the transition.

Sandra Carrington-Smith is in my opinion, already, what a good writer aspires to: someone who doesn’t get in the way of their own writing.

So many authors today pontificate and self-gratify themselves with their own words, using words that people stumble over as they are reading. When I read a story or an article, I want to be transported from my life into whatever is the topic at hand, without words getting in the way.  I’m not into Litter-A-Chure, I’m into reading a good tale or reading to be inspired.

In other words, the writing must flow like water.

And with Sandra Carrington-Smith she makes me thirsty for more.

Both her books are available on Amazon.com for pre-order:

Housekeeping for the Soulthe Book of Obeah
