3 Tips for Manifesting Desires and OH, Do You Know They Already Exist?!

On this gloreous day, I feel the elated knowing that YOU are, in this moment, able to access what you need to make your desires available to you.

=========================================
Your desires are ALREADY created. They already exist.
=========================================

Your journey has more to do with creating the consciousness that allows what is for you to reveal itself.

So, as I envision you becoming aware of this wonder, I imagine an "awakening" of sorts in which you exclaim, "AH-HA!". And it becomes so clear to you. :)

I thought I'd post these tips from Deepak Chopra as a compliment to your manifesting process.

Below are his words. I suggest you add flavor and zest to this declaration by breathing deep, standing tall and projecting your voice with passion!
================================================================================
I will put The Law of Intention and Desire into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with me wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go into my silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.

2. I will release this list of my desires and surrender it to the womb of creation, trusting that when things don’t seem to go my way, there is a reason, and that the cosmic plan has designs for me much grander than even those that I have conceived.

3. I will remind myself to practice present-moment awareness in all my actions. I will refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the quality of my attention in the present moment. I will accept the present as it is, and manifest the future through my deepest, most cherished intentions and desires.

Martin Luther King's Teachings on the Law of Attraction

Oh, you didn't know that Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Law of Attraction teacher?

Before I get to that, I begin with an honoring of this beloved man, a torch bearer, a way shower, a change agent. Thank you for your passion, your courage, your devotion, your vision.

I bow to the divine in you, Namaste.

MLK was a teacher of great proportions. His wisdom and light continue to ripple on this day. His vision for equality, his knowing of a way that upholds reverence for all, his call to and practice of non-violence... just a few aspects of his impeccable modeling.

I bet you never considered him as a Law of Attraction teacher. Have you?

Well, let's get to it! 3 quotes, 3 teachings....

1) "I have a dream."

MLK had a dream. He named it. He articulated it. He described it in detail. He described what would be happening. He outlined the reality of it coming to be. He declared it. He repeated it. He felt it. He passionately exuded it.

All of these aspects are necessary to launch your dream so it can become reality. You must identify it. And you must identify it with clear definition. No generalizations, get real about what you want to have occur. Put it out there. And like MLK so profoundly modeled, FEEL it.

Get it into the fabric of your being.

2) "Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal."

MLK taught that practice of what we desire is the only means of knowing its reality. In Law of Attraction, one of the effective tools you have at your disposal is the choice of behaviors you engage in each moment, each day. These behaviors stem from your thoughts.

You can align your thoughts with your desires. Then, because your thoughts create your behaviors, your behaviors will reflect your desires. Does that makes sense?

So, with peace.... MLK did not create peace by loading a gun and shooting at the "enemy". Instead, he choose to be an instrument of peace through his words, his deeds, his beingness.

When you are attracting what you desire, you are bringing toward you that which reflects how you already think and be. You can't bring something to you that you have not been able to feel and know as part of your consciousness...even if it's just in your imagination.

3) "Faith is taking the first step when you don't see the whole staircase."

MLK knew one of the greatest instruments of the Law of Attraction*, faith. You must have faith in order to know the realization of what you desire. Without faith, you bow to your doubts. You bow to a smaller reality based on fear. With faith, you trust in a higher purpose, a higher vision, the process of life.

Now, some of you may question my association of MLK with the Law of Attraction. You may say that his dreams were never realized. While this is true in some sense, i.e. true equality for all, I would propose that MLK's dream for his life WAS realized. He dared to dream a dream that was beyond himself, that captured a potential of reality that was for ALL beings. In that, he was not the only one responsible for the manifestation.

For that reality to come to be, we all must show up....more awakened and aligned with a greater truth.

You can begin with your own dreams. Believe it or not, you manifesting what you desire DOES help create the change that MLK desired. You being alive, you flourishing, you being healthy, you contributing.... as you do this, it liberates others to do so.

And one by one, as we each take responsibility as the creators we are, we will all become the manifestation of MLK's vision and be....

FREE AT LAST!

*I'm talking about the Law of Attraction on purpose. Being a deliberate user of the Law of Attraction vs. it just working based on your past programming. Remember: the Law of Attraction is always in effect.

Manifesting Through Who You BE

"Whatever you are looking for in your life is there for you."

~Wayne Dyer

I posted this quote recently and received question about where, how?

It inspired this video.

The how is in the BEing you are. If you want love, be love. If you want peace, be peace. If you want prosperity, be prosperity.

With the Law of Attraction & manifesting, you do less and BE more.

Wouldn't It Be Nice To....

As you continue to affirm the reality of the experiences you desire, to become that which you envision being.... you must keep your attention on what you want.

This is an exercise from Lorraine Cohen, my colleague in Manifest Mastermind. She did this with her mastermind group as a way to unleash visions and intentions for 2009. Thank you for sharing this tip openly, Lorraine. We all succeed when we each succeed.

This is a great way to dream and vision, because it helps with getting into the possibilities mindset and away from the "how to's".

Here's a list of some what came to me when I did this:

Wouldn't it be nice to....

1) Know joy, peace and freedom at my core.
2) Serve millions in being fully alive and flourishing.
3) Know that I've lived each day with full presence and capacity.
4) Dream bigger each new day than I did the day before.
5) Write and sell my best selling books.
6) Be in true prosperity, feeling my sense of plenty all the time.
7) Experience the creative flow with ease and abundance.
8) Have an abundance of money from multiple sources of income that ensures I easily tend to all my responsibilities and aspirations, including giving generously to humanitarian causes.
9) Live in gratitude every moment.
10) Be a known expert and sought after international coach and speaker.
11) Celebrate the magnificent success of Manifest Mastermind at the end of 2009.
12) Feel the vitality and vibrance of my strong healthy body every day.
13) Experience the unwavering clarity and faith in connection to source/Spirit.
14) Travel to new cultures and expand my lens.
15) Have a couple of vacations with deep relaxation and fun.
16) Enjoy quality time with family and friends.
17) Be in power of nature regularly.
18) Feel my bliss.
19) Experience nourishing, playful, extraordinary relationship with my partner.
20) Become a greater expression of love, light, compassion and all the qualities of the Divine source that uplifts, elevates, and expands us all to wholeness, oneness and aliveness.
21) Always reside in my knowing that that I am an expression of the Divine.

WOW!~ I could keep going. It's fun! Try it out. Exercises your "nice to" muscles so that you become savvy at flowing in the consciousness of what you desire.

DREAM ON!

Are You Going Upstream or With the Flow?

Are you in the flow?

If you are, you are experiencing joy. You are letting the Law of Attraction work for you and what you want.

If you are not, you are feeling bad in some way. You are letting the Law of Attraction attract more of what you don't want and more of what contributes to you feeling bad.

In the flow=feeling good
Out of flow=feeling bad

Could it be that simple? Yes.

"If you are to be the joyful being you want to be and are meant to be, you've got to go with the flow. And when you don't, you don't feel good, it's just that simple. Not going with the flow of your own creation is what makes you not feel fulfilled. It's what makes you feel dissatisfied and worse."

~Abraham-Hicks

When you are in the flow, life feels good. You feel that all that is occurring is the way it is meant to be and as a result, there is a sense of contentment. This is not to say that you will not feel emotions i.e. sadness that come with the cycle of life- I'm not talking about slapping on a permanent smiley face. Let's get real.

I'm talking about a greater sense of okay-ness, a deep knowing that all is well and in alignment with what is meant to be. Even in the face of difficult developments in your life, there is an ability to "be" with it all in a way that keeps you in the flow.

"Nothing that you want is upstream."

~Abraham-Hicks

"If you would let go of your resistance and start going with the flow, you will discover how good this stream can be to you."

~Abraham-Hicks

10 Ways You Stay Out of the Flow and Fight Upstream:
1) Frustration
2) Holding on to Emotions
3) Resistance
4) Clutter
5) Control
6) Fear
7) Force
8) Victim Consciousness
9) Doing Things the Way You've Always Done Them
10) Attachment

10 Ways to Get in the Flow:
1) Relax
2) Create a Daily Practice to get Still
3) Allow
4) Surrender
5) Feel Your Emotions
6) Do Things That You Feel Alive In
7) Become Self-Aware (then will know when out of flow and can change course)
8) Learn to Hold a Healthy Detachment to Everything
9) Practice Acceptance and Forgiveness (of self and others)

AND number 10?

You guessed it...GRATITUDE. :)

Remember, joy is your birthright. Let yourself feel the flow....

Align in 2009: The Glorious Experience of Allowing

"The true satisfaction of life is to come into alignment and co-create with others."

~Abraham-Hicks

If you are ready to create true satisfaction, you need to align. Align with source/creator/spirit. Align with the true you. Align with thoughts that create experiences that feel good. Align with people that show up in a way that feels alive to you. Align with your values. Align with your joy.

============================
What will you align with in 2009?
============================

i.e. I AFFIRM: I align with only that which is alive.

"The law of attraction does not bring to you what you are not."

~Abraham-Hicks

As you affirm, you become. What you repeat, you become. You have become what does not work for you through practice, right? REMEMBER: What has become your habitual way of being that is depleting, limiting, stressful, etc.... it came through practice. It came through repetition. It is not reality because it is "true". It became your reality because you had beliefs you adopted that you affirmed and habits that results that you repeated.

YOU have the power to become that which you want to be. And, in the not being what you are not, you will not attract what has been. Make sense?

ALIGN in 2009! Choose what you want. Align with what you want.

Align with allowing. More from Abraham-Hicks....

Happy Alive New Year!

"And now let us welcome the new year,
full of things that have never been."

~Rainer Maria Rilke

May you know the joy, peace, freedom and prosperity that is your divine birthright.

May you accept the gifts that life beholds for you in each moment.

May you see, feel, think, be, choose, decide and act through a lens of what is alive.
