Manifesting, again!

There was a time in my life a few years ago where I was tired of the same old relationship that was doomed to go nowhere from the beginning. I would always find the "good for now" kind of guys and we'd have fun for a while but I'd always know that he wasn't the right one for me. I had asked the Universe for "someone I could share a good portion of my life with." I thought this request was very specific, and I got a very specific person to share a good portion of my life with. See, I was scared to ask for what I really wanted; a soul mate. The universe provided me with someone whom I did share a good portion of my life with. I brought him home with me and showed him my old stomping grounds. I took him to the places I spent time with growing up and in high school. We hung out with my old friends that I hadn't seen for years and then just like that, he was out of my life. I did get to share a "good portion" of my life with him, it was just the wrong portion. The universe has done it to me before, with very specific results.

About a year ago, I was up to some manifesting again. I decided that I was about ready for a new relationship in my life. I knew the Universe is good at getting specific and I was going to ask for someone pretty specific. I made a list and put down all of the qualities in a man that I would like to have in an ideal mate. It was a pretty extensive list: humour, reciprocation of feelings, sexual and mental attraction, intellectual and spiritual equal, someone I would grow old with, I even wrote down great sex in the mix. I wanted my soul mate. I wasn't scared of asking for what i wanted this time.

This was the money shot for me, this was something that would change my life once and for all. I was ready to make the leap and let it happen when I was ready for it to happen. Because it was a very important manifestation, it kept popping up in my head. I had a hard time to let it go and trust in the Universe. I didn't fear asking for what I wanted, but I had some doubts actually receiving what I had asked for. What if i wasn't ready? What if it didn't work out? Thoughts kept popping up in my head and this kept on pushing this person away. I think I felt that I wasn't ready for receiving what I wanted. I wasn't quite at the right point in my life to welcome a partner into the mix of craziness that is my life.

A few months ago, I turned a corner. I stopped worrying about what the Universe would provide me and I let it go. I just had faith that I would receive what I had asked for when I was ready for it.

A few months ago, the brother of an old friend of mine contacted me on facebook. I had known him for over a decade and had helped him out when he was going through a rough patch a long while ago. We started talking and somewhere in the mix the fact that we had been attracted to each other years ago but weren't in the right place in our lives to do anything about it. It was weird because I had always had an inkling that he was attracted to me, but it was great to find out that it was mutual. An online relationship started then and the more we talked the more we discovered that we have a lot in common. A few weeks into it and I remembered the list that I had made and went through it; I ticked most of the things off except for the few that I couldn't tick off because I'd need to actually be in contact with him.

It was decided that I fly back home to see him on my break, which was only a couple weeks away. This is where I'm writing this post, the end of my two weeks with him. Everything I listed has been provided for me. I have everything I asked for. Not a day has gone by where I haven't been in awe with what I have received from the Universe. We are both extremely connected with each other, we can feel what the other is feeling without words. I can hold his hand and feel the love he has for me and he can feel mine for him. It is unbelievable.

What will happen next? Who knows? We have decided to do our best not to think too much on the situation and to just feel. Letting our spirits and hearts guide us through what is yet to come will be awesome. I am excited.

Ask and It Is Given

When I first began to notice my manifestations, I wondered how I did it. Later on, when I realized how I manifest things I questioned what my state of mind was like when I was asking the universe for something. Where was I, what was I thinking about? How did I know that I was going to get what I wanted?

There are many people who liken manifesting with ordering something from a catalog; for me it's essentially the same in mind. Meaning, the state of mind that we are in when ordering something. We simply ask, we expect to be given something and then we get what we asked form. It's that simple. When we order something we really desire, there's that excitement at knowing that in a couple of days we'll have it. It's the same thing when we order from the universe.

For me, there's a certain clarity that comes when I know I am in a true state of manifesting. My mind is calm, I have no worries or doubts about what I'm asking for and those worries and doubts do no enter my mind after I have stated my desire. It's like being in the zone. I ask something from the universe and the universe says, "So be it." It's not like it's hard for the universe to create something for us. Everything is made of the same stuff, and it happens to be a very malleable medium.

Things happen quickly when you let them happen. When I have manifested in the past, for instance, I asked for "a man in my bed". It took the universe about 3 days before I found that man to be in my bed. Though, he was only a man in my bed in a very literal sense, I still got exactly what I asked for and in that time in my life it was exactly what I needed.

After I asked for that man, I didn't wonder when it would happen, I didn't worry about it and I didn't wonder how it would happen. In fact, I didn't bother thinking of it again until I received it.

It was that sort of confidence where I didn't have to worry or wonder about what I was getting because I knew I was going to have it. After I asked, I didn't have to think about it anymore. It was a done deal.

If you force yourself to believe that you're going to get what you desire because you're thinking that you're not going to receive it, you're blocking that desire from fruition. Any sense of doubt will attract the doubt of it happening.

A really easy way to think about it would be to just think about the answer that the universe gives you for each thing you desire.

So Be It.

Stay in alignment

The state of being happy is one where we are vibrating at a high frequency. It feels like nothing can touch us; like all the good of the world is with us and flowing with us. It's like we're rowing our boat downstream. Everything comes easily to us and it feels right. This is when we are powerful and when our ability to manifest is potent. This is because when we are in a happy and positive state of mind we are the closest to the source of pure, positive energy in the universe; the essence of life. We are in alignment with it which makes it easy to manifest anything we desire.

When we manage to keep ourselves in this state for a while, things around us start to change. The people in our lives start to change around. The people who are not in alignment with us will fall to the periphery of our lives when they may have been in the center. This makes room for the people who are in alignment with us or for more possibilities to present themselves. We start to think positively about a lot of things and those things return that positive energy back to us - people become nicer or difficult things in our lives start to resolve and become easy.

I started being in a positive frame of mind a few weeks ago and I have noticed that the only people that are still in the center of my life - the ones who constantly want to hang out with me - are the ones who are in alignment with me. They are happy, they are positive and they love themselves. Everyone else who isn't on the same wavelength has fallen out of my little circle.

Strange things have happened to me. I started watching this manifesting video every morning and suddenly I get an email from a person that I don't really know very well who left the country and is not coming back when she thought she would be. She wants to pay me to sort through the stuff she left behind and send it to her. She's going to pay me to do this. Everything else is for me to keep or sell. The stuff that is left over is stuff that I don't necessarily need, but that I can sell easily. It's great! It was totally unexpected, but I manifested it into my life quickly because I kept myself in that positive mindset.

It's easy to stay positive. It's easy to bring good things into your life. Begin to be positive and see how many unexpected and wonderful things come to you from different places. I believe it more and more each day. It is amazing.

Let the good times roll!

Extreme Money Manifestation

Today was an amazing day!

I receive loans from the states and I am much in need of the next one to come in, or at least I thought I was. I have been working on bringing money into my life. I started watching this video and things have started to turn around for me. I just started a job that is awesome! I'll keep it until the semester starts at the end of February. I got an email today from a friend who was in New Zealand with me for the year and went back home for the summer break. She transferred into OSU and I couldn't be happier for her! She and her friend (who is in the same boat) are going to pay me to pack their stuff up for them. I also get first dibs on whatever they're leaving behind and a car to either buy myself or sell and make a profit on (10%). This is exciting stuff! This was also completely out of nowhere.

About a week ago, I was surfing the blogs that I like to visit and I found this video on subliminal messaging and attracting money. It is awesome. I knew it would work and it is! I watch it every day and it is changing the way I do things and think about money - which is something I have wanted to do for a while.

I am so excited!

How do we manifest?

The creative process that is explained in the movie, The Secret is simple to understand yet difficult to master. It was described as having three steps.

1. Ask - This can be just thoughts. They don't necessarily have to be spoken out loud. Think of it as placing an order with the universe. This is a catalogue that has everything imaginable in it and it never has anything on back order. It is all-abundant.
2. Answer - This is something the Universe does on its own. Our thoughts have such power that the Universe simply rearranges things to make stuff happen. It does this effortlessly. It isn't important to figure out how it does it, or how it's going to happen. It just does.
3. Receive - This is the tricky part. This is where it becomes important to be aligned with what has been 'ordered'. It is a positive emotion. There must not be any doubt with it. It is one of the hardest things to overcome, the doubt, but once it happens the rest is easy.

"What you think, what you feel and what manifests is always a match, no exceptions." - Abraham through Esther Hicks

I have have some experience manifesting in my lifetime. I didn't realize I was doing it until recently. What I have been manifesting is relationships. It seemed so natural to me. The funny thing is that I received exactly what I wanted each time. This has made me become very careful with what I ask for now. Why? I'll tell you. The first time I remember manifesting a man in my life I said, "I am ready for a real relationship." This was after a long period of one-nighters. I was tired of them, I wanted something stable. I did indeed get a relationship with a great guy. The only thing was that he wasn't the right person for me. I knew this almost immediately but decided to give it a go and see where it went. Three years later it ended. The relationship was just that, a relationship. Despite the fact that we got along pretty darned good, there wasn't any spark there for me. It's hard to explain.

The next one was right after that relationship. I said that I didn't want to be alone. I needed people around. The next day, I got a call from an old friend who was flying back into town. Her and I go way back and it was refreshing to have someone around. She decided to see what one of our mutual friends was up to and suddenly there was this new guy in my life. That was a relationship and a half. Guess what? He was a bit clingy. He never left me alone. I got to have an old friend to hang out with for a while and a new relationship with a guy who pretty much drove me nuts.

A few years later I was on my own again. I was enjoying myself and having a good time. Then I started that thinking process again. I took more notice of it this time around. It was something I felt. I knew I was ready to manifest someone else into my life. It felt like a window of opportunity. It was like, 'if you don't ask something now you won't get anything'. So I asked. I said, "I want a man in my bed." That weekend, I hooked up with one of the funniest guys I've met in a long time. We started a thing with each other. I'd see him on the weekends when he was in town. We didn't do anything but hang out in my bed. That was it. I got exactly what I asked for. A man in my bed. He didn't want anything serious and I was perfectly happy about that. It dissolved when one of us tried to change what we had into something more. It wasn't meant to be anything more than what it was; what I had asked for. It took me a while to figure that one out.

The next manifestation was one where I decided to get a bit bolder. I asked for, "A man I can share a good portion of my life with." What I really wanted to ask for was 'the one'. I wanted the big one, I wanted the soul mate. I changed my mind at the last moment and asked for this other thing. I got exactly that as well. I met a guy and before I knew it, I was taking him home with me. We got on a plane and stayed with my parents for a few weeks. I got to show him my old stomping grounds where I grew up, what I did as a kid. I got to let him meet my old friends and my parents. Right after that trip, he broke it off with me. Again, it wasn't meant to be anything more than what I had asked for. I had exactly what I wanted. I met someone and shared my whole childhood with him. That was it.

I wonder what would have happened if I had asked for the Soul Mate? If I hadn't chickened out and asked for what I actually wanted. I was ready to ask for it as well, but I didn't. I believe it was one of those life lessons that I had to learn. Don't worry, I did a lot of learning with that relationship. I have done a lot of learning with all of my relationships.

Life is about growing and learning and changing. It's about making yourself better with each challenge. It's a good thing to remember.
