Q: I have read your article about the signs of land and projections and it’s not very clear. Please explain how can we be sure that it’s our Divine soul who is sending us signs and not our ego? – Maria, Bucharest, Romania 

A:
Higher Consciousness ALWAYS feels aligned and at peace while ego and lower level consciousness feels judgmental, disappointed, edgy, unsure, and hesitant.

However, when we judge the signs of land as ‘insignificant’ or ‘less than what we want’ they may be Divinely Ordered but our EGO gets in the way by saying, ‘this isn’t what I wanted?!’ It’s this judgment that suffocates the potentiality, rendering what might have been wilted, fragmented or dying on the vine.

EVERYTHING is a sign of land representing what we’re attracting at any given moment. Ego and our Divine Soul are always intermingling according to our current level of consciousness. Therefore, the question isn’t to ask is it Ego or Divine, but to ask how I could respond to this moment in order to navigate to the destination of my conscious choice. When we respond with gratitude, we align with the Higher Divine Soul. When we respond with doubt and criticism, it’s Ego.

Q: “But what if I’m 72 and I have health issues and that keeps me from manifesting a love relationship?”

A:

My grandfather married his 5th wife at age 93 because he still believes he’s ‘all-that-and-then-some!’ It’s all in our belief system. If you recognize you have beliefs that prevent YOU from loving yourself, then use Emotional Freedom Technique to first get rid of the self-punishment and self-hate. What will be left is the joyous love of your own true self… And, THAT is vibrationally powerful and attractive to a mate that would jump tall buildings to be with you!

To use EFT, you might try ….
– ‘Even though I have this health issue (be specific) and no one is going to want an old, sick woman… I don’t care – I LOVE myself anyway. And, what if I did find my ideal mate who is CRAZY about me?!’

–Even though I’m really afraid that I’m too old for love, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. And, what if I claimed my right to the best romance and love of my life? What if I allowed the unlimited power of my divine self to shine on me now – illuminating my heart and magnetizing the best relationship of my life?!’

Q: What do you sense in your spirit for me to do? How can I manifest my heart’s desires?

A:

When we ask others what they ’see’ for us it’s because we don’t trust that we can ’see’ for ourselves, or that what we see is trustworthy. However, since our souls are forever connected – what my soul accesses your soul can access. Thus, in order to manifest your heart’s desires, you must first tune-into your heart. Practice meditating with your heart and the love of love as the center of your meditation. You will find the answers there. I know this sounds quaint and silly, but if the answers you are searching for were ‘out here’, you’d have already found them!

In the book, The HeartMath Solution, by Doc Childre and Howard Martin, you’ll find marvelous exercises for accessing and expanding your connection to your spirit, your own sense of intuition, and very importantly – your heart’s desires through the love of yourself!

Q: I have a question regarding The Law of Reciprocity as discussed in “Conscious Creation 101, Module 4″.
In the module you mention the following:

“One tip about this law: The Law of Reciprocity cannot be positively harnessed from a place of “I want this, so I’m going to give ‘this amount’, in order to get.” This intention sets forth a vibration of self-centered, egocentric, giving that neither benefits the receiver nor the giver.”

However in the Fieldwork section you basically want us to do what you just said we must not do?, i.e.:
1) Write down the answer to: “What three things do I want more of in my life?”
2) Now, decide how you will give these three things away.

This process confuses me and has been bugging me for a very long time.
Also, when you don’t have something and you desire that which you don’t have, how can you give it away?

Thanks for your time and I have already learned a lot from the first couple of modules. – Nico (Centurion, South Africa)

A:
Great question, thanks Nico. Let me clarify as I can see why that’s confusing! It’s really important to understand that our most dominant vibration is what attracts or repels the very things that we want in life. Thus, if we give $10 dollars away because we ‘desperately’ need $100, then the vibration of desperation will prevent the Universe from responding generously to our toxic-generosity.

However, I dare anyone that is ‘broke’ to see what happens when you give money away – not because you WANT money back but because you WANT to help others experience a little prosperity and because you WANT to show your higher self that you KNOW where your real source and supply comes from.

There’s a story of a priest and a nun that were driving to a special function where they were expected to feed a crowd of hungry villagers. They didn’t have enough money. The nun said, “But father, we only have $13.00?! How will we decide who to feed?” The priest took the coin-purse and threw it out the window. He said, “It’s not up to us to decide. Let’s put our faith in our Father above – let HIM decide who to feed and how.”
They arrive at the village and within minutes, a stranger approaches and hands them a key. The key unlocked his supply truck that held an entire shipment of much needed medical supplies and of course, more than enough food to spare and to share.
The priest didn’t throw the money out the window in order to ‘get something in return’. He threw it out the window to remind him of where his faith should be. Our faith is NOT meant to be on the money, or the job, or the lottery, or the relationship, or anything else that is external. No person, place, thing, or condition is EVER our supply. It’s our acknowledgment and understanding of the Divine Mind within that is the source and supply of our good. This source and supply is GOD and it is ever-increasing and always present. Our work is to tap into it from a place of faith and love.

Therefore, the more we give from a place of faith and love, the more we are tuned-in to the ever-increasing supply of the Divine within.

You also ask, when you don’t have something – how can you give it away?

The answer is you find a way to give some of what you do have away from a place of love. Eventually, you will receive more of what you want. When it arrives, and it will, be sure to continue giving some more away in love and gratitude. Like a storehouse that you continue to stock, your vibration will increase with every act of love and generosity. Eventually, your storehouse will be full and you will have helped others in the process.

P.S. My friend Janis (amazingly wonderful creator) uses this all the time – she’ll say, “Ohhh fast, let me throw this out the window.” One time she threw some change out of the window and within a day she had manifested the perfect amount of unexpected income to attend a seminar that she had wanted. “Works like magic” she says!

What’s the truth about Chain Letters? Will something really bad actually happen if I don’t send it to then others? Will something great happen if I do? How should I feel about responding to chain letters?

This is a matter of personal belief and whether or not you can maintain your connection while being confronted with a superstition. Superstitions themselves are NEVER true. Nothing outside of ourselves can control our experience unless we give it the power to do so.

However, your point of attraction and your ability to maintain your connection can easily be swayed depending on the attention or credibility that you subconsciously/consciously give to these superstitions. In some countries, certain superstitions have become so powerful, documented, and ingrained that it’s easier to follow the superstition, maintain a positive vibration by doing so, and be in harmony with a positive experience than to fight the current of the collective consciousness. It’s easier to move with the herd than to fight our own “what if?” Certainly in some countries it’s better to go along with the superstition than to have to deal with your indoctrinated grandmother’s wrath.

For example, I’m reading A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry, a novel set in India, that is full of superstitions and their effects on the health, welfare, and happiness of the people. Intrigued, by some of the superstitions, I’ve read further and discovered for example, that about ten thousand people die from a poisonous snakebite every year in India. One superstition is that tantriks (dancing, ritualistic sort of medicine men/women) cure people of snakebites and according to articles I’ve read, the tantriks, have a success rate equal to (or better than) that of the allopathic doctors. Of course, if the snake was non poisonous or didn’t get a full-fang mouthful of its’ victim then naturally the tantrik’s cure works easily. Additionally, as the law of Creation would dictate that if the victim BELIEVES “tantriks are the ONLY way to cure me” then this plays a more important role than any scientific evidence of a tantriks real abilities or lack there of.

Therefore, the real question is do you BELIEVE something bad will happen if you don’t send the chain letter? Do you feel even remotely negative at the thought that it could be true, and if you don’t act now you’ll regret it later? Do you wonder and slightly fear the repercussions of not acting?

The opportunity for growth here would be to recognize whether or not you are doing something with the motivation of fear (negative emotion) or the motivation of love (positive emotion). When we forward (or choose not to forward) a chain letter and we feel positive, then regardless of the documented cases, we will be uplifted naturally. However, when we engage in the circle of fear, and forward (or choose not to forward) an email that swears some ill-fate will come upon us if we do not, then we are placing our power in some wicked outside force that we have no control over and eventually we will become one of the case numbers, even if it isn’t this time. It boils down to how do we feel about it?

Let me give you another example, there are a few mainstream superstitions running through America that look something like this: “You don’t ever want to get sick, if you don’t have health insurance! Heaven help the man/woman that gets sick without insurance!” And “I have to have car insurance now! I don’t want to get in an accident or get pulled over!”

Getting sick doesn’t have anything to do with having or not having health insurance. Getting into an auto accident or getting a speeding ticket has nothing to do with having or not having car insurance, alone. However, the feeling of fear from not having the insurance is what could attract the illness or accident to us.

For example, if you take away your insurance, would you be afraid to drive? Would you be afraid to go on a trip without health insurance? Would you be afraid of doing certain sports, or other things if your health insurance lapsed? If you currently do not have insurance, do you ever wonder or think about “what if…?” Most of us would answer yes and therefore, we keep insurance. Not because we’re superstitious (necessarily) but because if FEELS better to be protected. We gain the peace of mind that comes with the insurance and therefore, it’s easier to maintain our connection by owning insurance than to fight the fear of NOT owning insurance. We as a society feel positive when we own insurance and feel vulnerable when we do not. One feels good and therefore is attractive to positive experiences including health and security. The other feels scary, and therefore attracts ill health, traffic violations, and even more serious negative experiences depending on how long or how much we’ve fretted and worried over the issue.

It doesn’t matter whether the chain letter or insurance is a superstition. It only matters that we maintain our connection! Therefore, for now, do what FEELS good. Follow your inner guidance that will always lead you to a place that FEELS better. Positive feelings attract positive experiences, always. If for now, it feels best to forward a chain letter, then do it. Keeping in mind that as you grow in awareness, you will grow in your ability to take personal responsibility for all your choices and experiences and will be more deliberate and protective of your power. You will eventually get to a place where giving your power away to ANY external circumstance feels less positive, than guiding your experience from within. The optimal state consists of being so connected to source that we feel the absolute unlimitedness of our birthright and have no need for external securities. This state comes from continually connecting to source, living intentionally, focusing on our inner-being as the one and only source and supply and choosing all of our actions out of love, peace and harmony. In this state, superstitions have NO power over us.

I’m working on this! However, in the mean time, I’ll be keeping my insurance because it feels better! So, in the end – always do what keeps you connected, and feeling the wellness.

Difference Between Laws Of Attraction And Detachment

Hi Anisa, I am a little confused. I am practicing the Law of Attraction. to get and manifest your desires, you desire it, see it and feel it in your heart. Like a movie in your mind. I am wondering why the Law of Detachment is saying the opposite of what the Law of Attraction says? Regards,Neil

Hi Neil,

Thank you for your email and questions.

The law of attraction operates on an energetic level – drawing and magnetizing comparable energy; energy and experiences that are vibrationally attuned with our most dominant thoughts. When we desire something, we launch a vibration that begins to bring that experience into our lives. However, desire alone is not enough to complete the vibrational creation. It’s when we take our thoughts to the level of ‘allowing’ that our dreams can solidify and materialize.

The law of detachment says that we must relinquish our attachment to our desire in order to manifest it. Let’s look at what detachment is and what it is not. We are attached when we feel that we will not be satisfied until or unless we get what we want (our desires fulfilled) therefore we are ‘attached’ to the outcome. Desire alone without faith, willingness, confidence, acceptance, expectation and/or certainty yields a vibrationally descending or repelling space. Desire alone is NOT enough to manifest our dreams.

Detachment does not require that we give up our desire. Detachment is not apathy or indifference. Effective detachment never feels negative – ever! Effective detachment feels freeing! When we are successfully detached from the outcome we feel like the Universe has our back; like all is well; like we can trust in our greater good; like we are absolutely certain that all that we desire is already ours.

Seeing and feeling what we want in our hearts absolutely supports the conscious creation of the life we desire. However, if we see it and feel it during our meditation but then later in the day continue to acknowledge ‘we still don’t have what we want’, then we counter-act the very creation we launched earlier. We are STILL applying the law of attraction, but we are attracting the opposite of what we ‘desire’ and the opposite of what we ‘envisioned’ earlier.

For example, I have a friend that owes back taxes. We spoke about her manifesting the money to pay them off and how wonderful it would feel to be financially free. As we were discussing her living vision, it came out that what she wanted was “to not have the pressure of this debt.”

Unfortunately, the vibration of ‘back taxes’ and ‘pressure of debt’ is so incredibly negative that it’s a real challenge to get into the space of, “all is well” and “I am financially free.”

As you can imagine, even though the desire is strong for financial freedom, as long as the subconscious thoughts are resonating with the fear of the back taxes, then the desire ALONE is not enough to attract resolution.

This is where the law of detachment comes in. It is essential to intentional creation to get into a feeling place of peaceful expectation that what we want is already at hand. As long as we are ‘attached’ we will continue to focus on the negative aspects of what we don’t want and the fears that come up as we doubt our ability to manifest.

Effectively applying the law of attraction requires both desire and acceptance. Practicing the law of detachment is how we can accept and expect what we desire. The two laws work harmoniously to support us in effectively applying the power of our minds and the universal laws of creation.

Using EFT to apply the Law of Detachment
(Examples given.)
 

Emotional Freedom Technique is simply awesome at supporting the Law of Detachment in our lives. (This is not an understatement!)

If you feel ‘attached’ to the outcome of whatever you want to create, use EFT to get rid of the attachment.

Here’s a quick way to clarify the attachments and EFT them away:

1 – List what you’re afraid will happen if you don’t get what you want.

2 – Take the reasons on your list that are the most troubling, put them into an “Even though I’m afraid.” statement.

3 – EFT the negative – starting with the set-up phrase then one pass on the points with the negative reminder phrase (Set up: Even though I’m afraid.) & (points: “.this fear”).

4 – Now implant the positive (the positive opposite of this fear that you want instead). For example, “What if I were at peace.” or “What if I trusted in the Divine Order.” or “I choose to allow myself to courageously and boldly..”

A few generic set-up examples:

Even though I’m afraid that I can’t have what I want..

Even though I’m afraid that I’ll lose (this thing) if I don’t get what I want.

Even though I’m afraid that even if I get what I want this will happen too.

Even though I’m afraid that it won’t be enough.

Even though I’m afraid that I won’t be able to handle (this) if I get what I want.

Even though I’m afraid that I’m inadequate and don’t possess the (talent, intelligence, skills etc.)..

(Remember, you’ll do three set-up phrases on Karate Chop point or Sore Spot then you’ll use a negative reminder to do one pass on the body points. Then, you’ll complete the EFT round with positive implants. See below.)

A few generic positive implant examples:

What if I were optimistic and trusted in myself to see this through easily?

What if I were hopeful and allowed myself to be happy?

What if I trusted in the Divine Order and knew all was well?

What if I were satisfied with ‘what is’ and still easily allowed myself to reach for me?

What if I courageously and boldly took action now?

What if I were willing to risk failure and risk success?

What if I were at peace now?

I choose to trust in the Divine.

I choose to allow my greatest good to flow effortlessly to me now.

I choose to enjoy this moment and joyously create the next too.

With EFT & LOA, you’ll find that you begin to enjoy an overall sense of wellness that you may have never experienced before. Each round of EFT creates subtle but lasting results. Ask anyone that’s done EFT for an extended period of time. They will tell you that they ‘don’t know why’ but their life is simply more peaceful, joyous, and easy! It must be all that EFT!!!!

How Bad Things Happen to Good People?

The Universal Laws operate on a consistent, orderly, impartial and uniform basis.

Although this truth is harsh and even unfathomable when we think about the victims of September 11th, 2001; or the abuse or murder of a child, or even the senseless destruction of our planet, for example, the Universal Law is operating in Divine Order, never the less.

I’ll be honest, although I have my theories, I don’t ‘get’ the meaning or the purpose of it all, and I certainly would not be so arrogant as to proclaim to have the ONLY answer to this profound question or to ‘How did they attract this?’

Never the less, I am unshakeable in my gratitude for the consistency of the Laws. From my perspective, it is this truth – that the laws are consistent and dependable – that makes life livable.

If I thought that some indiscriminate force could simply bluster into my life ripping my world apart, as if the law of chaos granted the winds of destruction the right to randomly wreak havoc, then life and my role in it would be meaningless. If there really was such a ‘random force’ I’d scream, ‘then what’s the point?!?!’

On the other hand, there is also no way that anyone could convince me that an infant ‘attracted’ abuse through negative thinking. That just doesn’t match what we know about the pure love that is an infant’s gift.

Therefore, for my personal peace, I have reached for an explanation that attempts to consolidate what I believe to be true, as of today, about the Universal Laws and the Spiritual nature of life.

First, there is the fact that Creation is Teleological. Teleology is the study of final causes – especially as it relates to circumstance and events leading up to the final event.

We see this law time after time in nature. For example, the Lodgepole Pine Tree, the most widespread tree in the British Columbia province, cannot propagate without its cone being exposed to extreme heat, as in the heat from a forest fire. No fire (death) = no new trees (birth).

When we think about the ramifications of this fact, we then realize that it was not the lightning bolt that caused the fire, but the end result (natural reforestation) that indeed inspired the original lightning bolt and thus the fire.

Then we have the second verity that there are multiple levels of consciousness and many layers of energetic frequencies, intentions and super-intentions that collectively co-create our experiences.

For example, one such layer of consciousness has been observed in the study of past-lives. Whether we believe in reincarnation or not doesn’t negate the fact that millions of patients have discovered that their present day illness (allergy, disease, phobia, etc.) is connected to strong emotions, thoughts, actions, experiences (etc.) that occurred during a past life. Once discovered, many patients are able to recover from their malady.

Carl Jung, well-known psychologist and mystic, called this the ‘collective unconscious’ or ‘universal memory’. This of course implies that we are collectively influenced by the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs of the collective whole.

Thus we are now led to yet another layer of consciousness: the collective consciousness aka the global consciousness.

Here’s an interesting fact that illustrates how influential the ‘global consciousness’ can be:

There’s an African culture that believes all children born on Wednesdays are the devil’s offspring. To prove their belief is true all one has to do is look to the fact that more than half of the crimes committed in their culture are by those Wednesday children. Is it Wednesday that causes the problem or the global belief, we ask?

Combining the principle of teleology with the many layers of consciousness we find answers. I’m not suggesting the answers are satisfactory or comforting, but they are at least answers that are congruent with what we believe about the Universal Laws of creation.

Consider, for example, the evolutionary changes that, as far as I can tell, always ensues chaos, destruction and tragedy. We can’t help but wonder if somehow super-intentions along with the multiple layers of consciousness were at work inspiring the end result?

Viktor Frankl, considered one of the most profoundly influential psychiatrists of our time wrote in his book, Man’s Search for Meaning:

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms–to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” (-Viktor Frankl, M.D., Ph.D., (March 26, 1905 – September 2, 1997) was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor.)

Imagine for a moment that Victor Frankl’s story, listed as one of the ten most influential books in America, had never happened? Is it possible that the Divine Order (possibly his soul-choice) inspired not only his Nazi concentration camp experience but his survival as a match to his higher calling; a match to a super-intention? If his life purpose was to arouse the spiritual liberation of millions of souls that found his work then who are we to say that what occurred for him was not a match?

Considering the teleological nature of life, the multiple layers of consciousness, and super-intentions we find at the very minimum, food for thought.

This does not cancel out the impermeable fact that we still have free will and when combined with awareness, we can at any point choose to intentionally direct our experience using the Law of Attraction. It just may be that the way we ‘thought’ we wanted it and the way we ‘really’ wanted it are not always the same.

By accepting that all is well, all the time, we actually tap into the stream of well being that will take us through one ‘negative’ experience and into the meaning and purpose beyond. This is where passionate living can really flourish.

I was at a Dr. David Hawkin’s lecture (he’s the best-selling author of Power vs. Force) when something he said shook me to the core. With as much emphasis as a mid-day yawn he said, (I paraphrase):

A soul chooses its date of death prior to birth. And, on that date they simply transition from this plane to the next. Like a butterfly squished on your car window, they just keep flapping their ethereal wings.

What if our souls make choices before we arrive concerning our time of death and our purpose while in physical form? Wouldn’t these decisions then co-create with the intentions and beliefs of the moment to fulfill this ‘fate by soul-choice?’

One last personal example, the magnitude of which I did comprehend until many, many years later, happened the summer before my freshman year of high school. My best friend, Zena, was killed in a car accident. I was devastated. And, I was angry. I was angry because I had been denied one last visit with Zena before her accident. My father said no because he needed my help in the family antique business.

Losing Zena AND being denied the freedom to see her caused an internal chain of events that became the foundation upon which I create my life today. It was this loss that caused me to fearlessly seize my life. My motto became, “I will never let an opportunity go by without seizing it. I don’t care what the consequences may be. If I have to defy orders, fail, get into trouble and risk everything to be free and fulfill my dreams – I will. Never again will I be denied.” You see, Zena was a poet and I still have her poems today. The poems she wrote as an 11-year-old child were about living your dreams. Zena’s spirit has never stopped inspiring me.

Of course my original motto got me into quite a bit of trouble, as you can imagine. However, I eventually settled into a more vibrationally aligned manifesto: “I choose to live every moment fearlessly and passionately, as if it were my last opportunity

Without this experience, in my soul, I know my life would have been very, very different and I also know I would not be living the life of my dreams today, not the way I do now.

As a mother, this wouldn’t ease my pain but as a spiritual student, I find all of these and other spiritual truths helpful in finding meaning within suffering.

And, what if that was both the cause and the purpose?

How to Manifest a Miracle ?

How to Manfiest Question

 

 

Dear Anisa,
My son was illegally arrested in Mexico almost two years ago. He is still in prison there. Is it possible to manifest his being released soon with positive results? I am not sure this type of thing can be done. If so, I am willing to do what is needed to have positive results on this. Thanks. I have been very anxious on this and having negative feelings so am sure that is part of what holds this thing up. – Sherry

Yes, it is absolutely possible to manifest his release. It won’t be an easy task but it is certainly possible.

I have witnessed clients turn amazingly devastating situations around using the law of attraction, so there’s not a doubt in my mind that you can do it too.

I have worked with clients who have produced instantaneous cancer remission (healing), prevented back surgery, manifested miraculous amounts of money just in the nick of time, manifested fair and swift resolution of malpractice lawsuits and so many other seemingly impossible, “against all odds” types of creations/miracles.

You’ll have to be willing to detach, which is usually the hardest thing for a mom to do. However, the law of attraction applied intentionally works with pure belief, detachment, and faith… which is why the anxiousness and worry that you so rightfully feel must be eliminated, in order to attract your son’s release.

Here’s your order of business in Manifesting a Miracle:

1 – Accept and Make Peace with What Is!

As long as we feel angry, indignant, or anxious about the current situation; and we reject our reality as it stands, we are vibrating in harmony with resistance, negativity, and uncertainty. This uncertainty must be removed if we are to manifest a miracle.

How do you accept what is? How do you make Peace with something as horrible as your son being locked away unjustly and maybe never getting to see him again, ever? How can a mother possibly make peace with that?!?!?!

Your Answer: Choose Faith.

Making peace with what is; loving what is and honoring it as somehow part of the Divine Plan, leaves you in a place of automatic faith.

“The only force that can overcome an idea and a faith is another and better idea and faith, positively and fearlessly upheld.” – Dorothy Thompson, (1893-1961) journalist, political commentator and a leading opponent of Hitler and 1930s fascism.

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Heb 11:1 (NIV)

Whether this experience deserves your understanding or not, you must relinquish any and all resistance to honoring your son’s experience as absolutely a part of the Divine Plan for his life, his son’s life, and yours.

In my experience, you can access that place of peaceful acceptance with a combination of prayer, affirmation, meditation, EFT and/or any other modality that helps you to process the emotions and come out the other side.

Please note that peaceful acceptance does not feel like apathy. When you have achieved a place of absolute acceptance, you will not feel apathetic, sad, or resigned but you will feel hopeful, peaceful, and certain. Anything less than these positive emotions are an indication that you have not truly put your faith in the Divine Order but have succumbed to apathy instead. Be diligent and demand pure acceptance from yourself as opposed to ‘giving up.’

“Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all — the apathy of human beings.” -Helen Keller

2 – When you’ve achieved peaceful acceptance, Command your Desire.

The ingredients for powerful intentional creation are peaceful acceptance of what is combined with positive intention, belief that it is possible, and optimistic emotional fuel topped off with gratefulness and absolute certainty.

Practice absolute certainty by imagining your son’s return as confidently as you imagine the sun will rise in the morning. When you see yourself embracing your son as he exits the airplane with as much conviction as you feel about the moon and the stars shining at night, on a regular basis, then you will be in a place to attract his safe return.

This applies to anyone reading this article that has a miracle to create. Apply the same level of certainty, assurance, confidence, and expectation to your desires as you do the belief that your heart will still be pumping in the morning or the Earth will still be spinning.

3 – Trust in the inherent goodness of man.

“I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.” – Pearl S. Buck

If you believe the Mexican penal system to be unjust, it will continue to be for you. If you believe his jailers are cruel and immoral, it will be for you.
Instead, you must send your son’s jailors love, strength, acceptance and the idea that within them is an inherent goodness that cannot be undone.

“If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.” – Mohandas K Gandhi

This applies to anyone who is facing a crisis. If you are facing surgery, then putting your confidence in the intelligence and skill of your surgeon is required; if you are facing divorce then sending love and acceptance to your future ex is essential; and, if you are going to manifest the release of your son from a Mexican prison, then acquiring a peaceful love for his jailors is crucial for his safe and swift return.

4 – Follow your guidance and take inspired action.

Having worked towards the above, God/The big Universe will send you inspirations. You may be guided to give or participate in worthy causes for others. You may feel an urge to contact certain authorities, to reach out for assistance, or to speak about your son’s situation.

Your work is to bravely and boldly listen and follow your guidance while still remaining peacefully detached to the outcome. Choose to take inspired action for the sake of the action alone; trusting that wherever it leads will be perfect; while maintaining that feeling of certainty that your son is already set free.

I am holding the vision of Brad at home with you and your grandson; sipping a nice cup of hot chocolate and smiling with the kind of joy that only freedom and loved ones can supply.

The Law of Detachment

What’s the definition of the Law of Detachment?

 

Law of Attraction Help

Law of Attraction Help

The definition of the law of attachment might be understood by pondering the following quotes.

“As we want it and allow it – it is.” -Abraham, from Jerry and Esther Hicks

“The Law of Detachment says that in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it.” – from The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra

How can something so simple be so difficult to grasp? How can one little law be the brunt of so many of our laments and ailments? Detachment has been, for me the most difficult Universal Law to grasp. One minute I’m fine for example, saying, “I’m perfectly okay if I never get my book written. I know that all is well and divinely perfect. I’m completely detached and totally fulfilled now.” The next minute I’m saying, “Ugh, why can’t I just have some time to write and finish this darn thing! I want it completed now!”

The struggle and perpetual vacillation continues as one minute I’m honoring the perfect timing of the Divine in my life, knowing that Spirit never makes a mistake while the next minute I’m having a spiritual temper tantrum screaming, ” I WANT WHAT I WANT, WHEN I WANT IT – NOW!”

When we have these little temper tantrums it is always because we are looking at that which we do not want in our life. We are looking at the lack of what we want as opposed to looking with faith towards the desire. Ernest Holmes in The Science of Mind wrote, “Never look at that which you do not wish to experience.” Turning away from our limited reality and maintaining focus on the vision of our desire while diligently allowing it to occur is practicing detachment.

Often the questions that arise when working with clients on detachment have to do with, “If I say I don’t care – won’t I manifest it not coming into my life?” Or “If I relax, won’t I get complacent and then stop all the energy that’s flowing towards my desires?” Or “If I say I’m happy and content now, won’t it keep me where I am forever?”

The answers (depending on the situation) will vary slightly but will always come back to how positive or negative you are feeling. How does it make you feel when you relax and let go? How does it feel to find happiness in the now while pursuing what you want for the future? Is it positive, joyous or comfortable? If the feelings are positive then you are in alignment with your desires. If your feelings are negative then you are still attached somewhere in the vision.

If you continue being in alignment (by letting go) while still maintaining the vision of the desire then (and only then) will you be practicing detachment and your desire will have to come to you.

Our ultimate personal growth and happiness truly depends on mastering to some degree the law of detachment. Some philosophies practice detachment by dismissing all desires while others practice detachment by honoring the sacred in everything. Choosing a method or a combination of methods will serve you to be a more intentional creator while experiencing more peace as well.

How do I apply the Law of Detachment technique ?

How can I detach myself from the outcome of what I want to manifest? Is there a technique that you recommend?

Detaching from the outcome of what we desire is, in my opinion, the trickiest and most difficult manifesting step to master. Here’s the dilemma that I’m sure you’ve run into, first, you identify what you want. Okay, I want “a beautiful garden” for example. Then, you imagine what it would feel like when you have this beautiful garden. You imagine how relaxed you’ll feel kicking back and enjoying the beautiful view; you imagine how wonderfully fresh and inviting the aroma of jasmine, honeysuckle and gardenias will be as they take turns blooming throughout the year; you imagine how the sound of birds playing, hummingbirds spinning and squirrels chasing each other around your garden oasis lifts your spirits and instantly makes you feel inspired and in awe of life. You imagine sipping your favorite beverage while breathing in the fresh air and relaxing deliciously into your achievement.

Now, you’re flying high even though you haven’t begun to break dirt. You plan to go to the store to purchase some flowers tomorrow and thereby begin the physical part of your manifestation. You wake up feeling inspired only to discover that a late snowstorm is headed your way and spring will be postponed for another two weeks or longer. You wait two weeks; only to discover that this is going to be the wettest spring in history and you can’t get into the garden to start digging without being swept away with the rain. You continue to wait it out; only to get to the nursery and everything is so outrageously priced you can only justify affording one small, rose bush that you feel probably won’t make it a week!

Okay, the power of imagining your ideal garden is not completely wasted but the disappointment, however slight, resulting from what we judge as one set back after another is certainly an indication that our attachment to what we want is preventing us from having it.

On the other hand, if we choose to refuse to judge anything as wrong, but instead choose to assume the best, then we will be maintaining our vibration while remaining detached. For example, assume the snowstorm is the Universe ensuring you will plant in perfect timing to be able to enjoy your garden for the longest, desired time possible. Assume the rain is there to wash the bad soil away, leaving beautifully irrigated, nutrient rich soil ready for your artistry. Assume a plant sale is about to be held somewhere and you’re not meant to buy anything overpriced today because then you’ll miss out on what you really, really want.

One technique that I use with great success for detaching is to completely surrender to the worst-case scenario.

For example, when the snowstorm shows up I would say:

“Okay, if it’s meant to be that the worst case scenario happens here and I don’t get to plant in time for my favorite flowers to bloom, then so be it. It’ll be okay. I know that there’s a divine plan in store for my desires and I relax into this plan. I surrender to the snow never clearing up. I surrender to my worst fears coming true. And, so what?!? I’ll still survive and it’ll all be okay!” And, then I’d say, “And, what I want is to feel, wonderfully relaxed in my beautiful garden. And, I enjoy so much imagining my garden that it doesn’t matter if I ever get it or not. However, what I want is to feel the flowers and the dirt in my hands. What I want is to invite friends and family over to enjoy it with me. I see this happening now, in perfect timing and I relax!”

To surrender does not mean to resign. Surrendering is nothing like resignation. You are simply realigning yourself with the knowledge that the Divine Order of life is at hand and you are at peace with it now.

You will know you are detached when you feel “at peace” no matter what the manifestation and you feel faithful and content that in perfect timing all that you desire already is and will be yours.

I’m stuck in the pain of my past relationship. I can’t get over her!

Dear Soul Mate Coach,

Dear Stuck in Despair,

Here’s the prescription for getting over a love:

  1. Breathe.
  2. Cry.
  3. Breathe some more.
  4. Cry some more.
  5. Then go outside and admire the moon.
  6. Jog through the park looking for beautiful leaves, melodious birds or chirping crickets.
  7. Take an ice skating lesson or go see a movie.

In other words, distract yourself with a mindless activity that recharges your spirit naturally. Then come home and breathe, cry and breathe some more. Repeat twice daily (as directed) until the pain and suffering cease to exist.

That’s the medicine for releasing your sorrow and attachment.

Eventually, the tears dry, the breath becomes less deliberate and life begins to work again.The worst thing you can do, however, is to ignore these feelings or to move on as if you can simply dismiss your despair with a simple sweep of the hand. Some emotions are not rational and are not likely to respond to denial.

Eventually, the mourning and the healing has to come from within. I have had countless clients share with me their formula for “moving on” and when it involves quickly getting involved with someone new – I can almost mathematically calculate the results: “New face – Same Relationship.”

You may want to ask yourself – what is the payoff for not letting go? Do you get to hang on to your love or do you just get to avoid feeling the pain?

Once you are able to recognize there is no avoiding it, you can begin to heal. Your willingness to allow yourself to truly grieve and thereby release your feelings of hurt, rejection, inadequacy etc. will dictate how quickly you can heal your heart and move forward in life.

“What we need is a portable form of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, where we can unburden ourselves of accumulated suffering. We must not try to bear the sufferings of the creation ourselves. We are to articulate these agonizing longings and let them pass through us to God. Only the heart of the loving God can endure such weight of suffering.” – Walter Wink*

I recently discovered that I had not allowed myself to grieve the passing of a very beautiful relationship. I had hidden all of my most painful feelings under a veil of anger and resentment – it was much easier to feel angry and to pass responsibility and judgment on to my partner than to accept it as mine.

Friends said, “Wow, you’re handling this so calmly.” While another very in-tuned friend said, “Are you hiding from your feelings?” I of course, rejected that idea.

Then, I caught myself moping and I’m not a moper!!! What’s wrong with me? I was suddenly depressed and miserable – and that is completely out of character for me.

Fortunately, I remembered to call my own personal coach – and I realized what I HAD to do – Cry like a baby! Wail like a weeping siren; Beat a few pillows; Bawl through some Kleenex boxes and let my heart lament until I regained my sense of peace and connection.

It took me four days of committed attention to my feelings but I finally stopped drowning in my tears. The feeling that has come over me sense then is a pure sense of gratitude and I am not only buoyant again but actually floating in a sea of acceptance and peaceful appreciation.

It requires courage and strength to go into our feelings – but it requires greater courage to reach out for support. If after a couple of days you are still in unbearable pain – call someone that can support you in working through the expression of your emotions.

Call a professional – a coach or a therapist, a friend or a priest.Your ability to create a fresh relationship will be in direct proportion to your willingness to release the old, forgive yourself and your partner, discern the lessons from the heartaches, create new decisions from your mistakes, and become grateful for experiencing life’s greatest teacher – a broken heart.

Much love and support to you on your healing journey. I know you’ll find the glowing candle of love burning strong – once you look within to discover it was right where you left it.

Criticism – The Insidious Saboteur !

A client was recently considering ways in which she could consciously raise her vibrational flow and creative energy so that she could manifest more freely. I asked her if she knew consciously of any behavior that may be sabotaging her efforts. I asked her to consider if she has found herself gossiping or sharing information about another person in a judgmental or disapproving way, I asked her if she made comments to other people that were unloving or in an abrupt manner. As she was considering this and allowing anything to come forward, she exclaimed, “I know what it is! I have been nagging and complaining to my husband. I have been judging his behavior and finding fault with things that I see him do.”

I so admired her willingness to live life above the line – and choose to learn from her upsets. So we began by exploring why she is critical and finding fault with her husband and circumstances around her. 

Ah yes, criticism – the insidious saboteur. When we comment on someone else’s behavior in a negative way we are giving our power away because at that very moment we are unconscious and projection is operating, we are stuck in the past and our energy is not available to us in the present. By finding fault we then project onto another unhealed issues that we have with ourselves. If we continue to find fault with circumstances and people around us without taking personal responsibility our power and energy leaks and our creative flow is weakened. 

How can you tell when it’s a projection rather than a boundary issue? Simply stated, when we have an out-of-balance emotional reaction to another person or situation, followed by judgmental thoughts, these are indicators that projection is taking place. Projection often looks like self-righteousness: “I’m right and they’re wrong.” 

Blaming others or justifying our upsets based on “becauses” is the way most of us were conditioned. It seems to make sense that others are to blame when we become upset. And it’s not that we want to blame others for our disturbance, it’s that we’ve learned that this is the appropriate way to define reality. We literally see the “cause” as something outside ourselves. The alternative approach involves accepting responsibility for our own disturbance and learning to work our process to heal that part inside that’s upset.

How, then can we stop being critical of others and take responsibility for our internal environment (thoughts and feelings)?

First, we need to consider that our relationships with others reflect our relationship with ourselves and that the things that we judge or find objectionable in others are potentially indicators of things we do to others, but are not aware of doing. What does that mean?

This means that the person in front of you is mirroring back to you your inner reflection on some level; a detached level because the perception is outside oneself and we are not aware that we are projecting our beliefs onto someone else. 

Or consider that these projections are things we do to ourselves inside, but are not aware of doing. This means that we are verbally commenting to another our feelings and thoughts about ourselves but we are claiming its about their conduct . . . that they’re doing something; or possibly reflections having to do with our relationship with God. For me, my idea of the universal wound is separation from God. That on some level we believe there is a “disconnect” from our Source and Creator; that there could even be a space where God did not reside. So when we are being critical it actually appears that someone is doing something wrong.

Or things that we don’t do inwardly or outwardly but judge as wrong when others do them because we have yet to make peace with the fact that we are quite capable of doing them given certain conditions. Expressed in the original lie, the belief that we are born sinners and that there could be something evil within ourselves.

When we consider that we are finding fault with the circumstances and people around us due to our own unhealed issues then we are empowered. When we are willing to acknowledge that our discomfort or trigger comes from a mental or emotional imbalance inside of us rather than outside, we are working our process and in the flow with life’s purpose: the purpose of healing.

The value of projections is in using them as a signaling mechanism that an opportunity is present for healing by re-owning previously disowned energy; those aspects of ourselves that we have not forgiven.

So, the next time we are finding ourselves being critical and projecting onto others, let’s stop and work our process. This is done by exploring the situation on the physical, emotional, mental and self-level and making a time for quiet contemplation.

On the physical level – what happened? What was the triggering event? 

On the emotional level – how do I feel about what happened?  What is my reaction? 

On the mental level – what are my thoughts about this situation? Are any irrational beliefs present? Am I making any judgments and if so what are they? 

On the self-level – am I in the loving?

When you are willing to consider all levels of perception you will uncover the core issue and unhealed wound within. As you continue to take responsibility for your own healing and bring forgiveness and compassion to yourself you are on your way to the mastery of creative living.

I Thought I met my Soul Mate – But I was Wrong!

I thought I had met my soul mate. We have so much in common and I have had the best 6 months of my life but my heart is now breaking. We’ve started to fight and the disagreements seem to take on a life of their own. It’s as if out of nowhere – our world of magic is suddenly spiraling into this out of control ugliness. Only two months ago we were excitedly talking about getting engaged and now I’m rehearsing our breakup. I love this woman deeply but don’t know what to do to repair the damage that has already been done and don’t foresee a future that’s any brighter. I’m very sad and don’t know what to do. – Heart Broken in Austin

Dear Heart Broken,

Accepting the pot of gold beyond the rainbow is not always as easy as we assume it should be. Magic, synchronicity and natural ecstasy color the first few months of beautiful love affairs intensifying our desire for life long happiness with passion, potential and naïve possibility. We fall head over heals in love with the idea of “and they lived happily ever after.” Let me clarify – there is nothing wrong with imagining and embracing the dream of complete happiness forever. In fact – the only way to ever experience any kind of ever lasting happiness is to be willing to believe it exists- whether that belief be conscious or unconscious. However, the fallacy of the fairy tale is the assumption that “happiness” in a relationship is defined by the perfect union of two people who never have any problems or disagreements to resolve. Two healthy and whole people who have found each other and have nothing left to heal. 

I believe you may realize there is work to be done or you wouldn’t be reaching out for support. The pot of gold still exists. Every relationship has a Divine gift and every relationship has its glory and reward. The glory is the opportunity to heal the life-long issues that haunt you and your relationships; and the reward is the fulfillment of your soul’s truest potential for joy. It is true that this may not be your life partner but that does not mean she is not your soul mate. Bowing out before discovering the growth the relationship has to offer will only postpone the healing that is required to experience that life long happiness that we so desperately desire.

Assuming you’re willing to grow, let’s talk solutions. First, create a space of peaceful acceptance. You must let go of your attachment to the ideal relationship having to be with her while still visualizing what your ideal relationship looks like. You must be completely willing to let her go while at the same time be completely centered on the desire to love fully. I’m not saying, “let her go.” I’m saying be “willing” to let her go and maintain your vision of how your ideal relationship would look and feel. Your communication to her may sound something like, “I love you and I am completely willing to let you go if that’s what is required for our happiness. I would love to have you in my life if that’s what is meant to be but I’m turning this over to God. And my ideal relationship would look like this….”

Second, restore the love. You must release any and all judgements about what’s happened as right or wrong and replace these opinions with the decree “This is all part of the Divine plan and somehow perfect!” Look at what this love has brought to you and kindle a sincere sense of gratitude. Your communication would sound like, “I know this is an appointed relationship. I am so grateful for the opportunity to love you and to be a part of your life. Whatever happens is meant to be and I’m sorry that I have judged you. And again my ideal relationship looks like this…” 

Now, ask for input. Say, “If you had your ideal relationship -what would that look like?” Focus on your commitment to grow and be willing to risk exposing yourself to the negative feelings that you’ve been avoiding. You do not have to agree presently to her input but you do have to accept the input as valuable information necessary for your personal growth. Additionally, know that EVERYTHING another has to say about us is true for them and therefore, MUST be true on some level within us. Ask, “Teach me to love you. Tell me what would help you feel loved in this situation.” And again, without judgement accept this input as part of the Divine plan for your growth and be willing to sit with it a while to see and feel how this may or may not be a part of your ideal vision.

With the awareness that you gain you can then choose whether to create anew or simply renew your love.
