Manifesting
Be Patient And Trust The Process
Life presents many challenges to each of us. Even those people who you think have lucky ‘horseshoes’ and ‘rainbows’ over them, have their own challenges, just like you and me. However, it is how they choose to deal with adversity that makes the real difference in their ‘fortunate’ lives. Their choice of reaction, or non-reaction, to each setback or negative event in their life, is what creates their ‘luck.’
If your life seems to be suffering from a lot of ‘bad luck’ lately, take another look at how you reacted to your last break-up, loss of a job, lack of finances, or not manifesting your dreams. Are you that person who chooses to sulk, complain and be envious of the success of others… or are you the person that knows that challenges are just side-steps towards what you are going to achieve for yourself?
Your perception, or the way you look at life, is what makes or breaks us in the end. That person who seems to have everything you desire, did not get there because they were ‘lucky.’ They arrived where they are because they believed, and they worked hard on what was important to them.
When that job didn’t come in that they wanted, they didn’t get upset or discouraged,. They didn’t give up and think they were not good enough. They stood back up, shook it off. They accepted that they didn’t get that job because something far better was probably in store for them down the road. It often is that simple.
Abundance – A Message From My Guides
Nature thrives with abundance. Notice the number of pine cones, acorns or maple keys that just one tree yields. Turtles and fish produce dozens of eggs to ensure survival. There are millions and millions of examples of abundance in nature.
Abundance is your natural state as well. Even in times of hardship, it is important to understand that there is enough for all. One need not do without in order for someone else to have their basic needs met. In addition, when you thrive, you are not preventing anyone else from achieving their highest goals.
It is incumbent upon each of you to create the world in which you wish to live. Some people are born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouths and manage to waste everything they have been given. Some people are born into poverty, yet grow to inspire millions and effect change in the world. Regardless of your position on Earth, you can create an environment of abundance.
First, it is important for you to determine what abundance means to you. Is it wealth, health, family, friendships, a committed partnership or perhaps a combination of these and more? Once you have determined what you are dreaming about, it is important to solidify your thoughts by putting them into goals.
Visualize your desired outcome in each of the categories you have identified. Show up to help make things happen by taking small steps to get started. Make a phone call. Do some research. Join a group. Take a class. Help a neighbor. Comfort a friend. Persevere and you will see your environment start to change and improve.
Change Your World With The Butterfly Effect
Simply defined, the Butterfly Effect is the phenomenon where a small, localized change in one part of a complex system can have large effects elsewhere, like an escalating ripple effect. The idea came to be known as such when a meteorology professor, Edward Lorenz, suggested that the flutter of just one butterfly’s wings could ultimately cause a tornado on the other side of the planet.
We all have beautiful opportunities to introduce the positive in our lives. We can do this by shifting our energy around with regards how we choose to view a particular person or situation. In this way our thoughts and actions can act as those butterfly wings that shifts and effects people, events, and even environments throughout the world.
It’s A Wonderful Life, a 1946 American Christmas fantasy film, demonstrates how every man’s life touches many other lives, and without the presence and actions of those other people, so many things might be different. The point is, we often have no idea how significantly our lives affect others. When we think back over our own life experiences, and the experiences of others, it often becomes clear how we have all been touched by the so-called Butterfly Effect.
Never Give Up Finding Your Perfect Partner
I once had a client who wanted a marriage more than anything else in the world. She has been single for many years and not getting any younger. She wanted a loving partner, and she never gave up thinking about the qualities she needed in that partner. She even told me she could feel him when she thought about it.
I have never met anyone so determined. She would find men to date on the internet, and asked married friends to arrange some blind dates for her. Even her adult son would introduce her to some of his friends’ divorced fathers! Of course, some of her dating experiences were very disappointing and she would tell me a variety of weird and wonderful stories about some of the men she had met.
In time she decided to keep a list of what didn’t work for her from each dating experience. She would edit her list after every new date. Even I was amazed at her courage and conviction. She simply told herself Mr. Right will come at the right time and never gave up on her dream.
She also encouraged her friends in a similar predicament to stay positive and have faith. A group of these women would even go to dinner a couple of times per month and discuss their dating experiences. They would talk about their recent dates and make their own list at the dinner table. They made it fun; they finding relationships a positive experience.
Manifesting With The Lunar Cycles
In Astrology, the Moon is deemed to be the celestial body most relevant to our everyday life patterns and mundane activities. This is because the Moon is the fastest moving astrological body and thus it is more specific to our earthly rhythms and daily routines. We can see this effect in nature, as the Moon influences several of the earthly rhythms, such as the ocean tides, animal behaviors, and even women’s menstrual cycles.
Because the moon wields this kind of influence, we can ride her current, if we pay closer attention to her cycles, rather than swim against it when it comes to achieving our goals in life. You don’t have to be an astrologer to follow the rhythms of the Moon and use them to help you in getting what you want. Any old calendar will typically detail the lunar cycles, and all you need to do is hang one on your wall and take heed.
A basic understanding of the major lunar rhythms, and what they mean energetically, can easily be incorporated into your life and monthly routine, in order to make ‘big waves’ in your everyday existence.
New Moon
When you think New Moon, think increasing. The New Moon heralds the waxing moon cycle, which means between this time and the Full Moon, the Moon is increasing in size. Thus, the energy is conducive for bringing in new things, growth, and anything that we want to see more of.
If you wish to begin anything new, such as a fitness regime, diet or educational path, then choose this time, between the New Moon and the Full Moon, to launch your new endeavor. If you want something to grow, like a tree, or an investment, this is also a good time to get it started.
An Attitude Of Gratitude
I find that people who don’t appreciate what they have, often have their gifts and blessings challenged, or even lose it. And obsessing about what we don’t have can lead to depression and anxiety. It certainly does not help you to attract more into your life.
So, consider shifting from thinking about what you don’t have, and what you want and goals, and instead try an ‘attitude of gratitude.’ This is a dramatic shift. Changing from thinking about what we don’t have to instead feeling grateful for what we do have, what we have been given, and what we have already achieved, changes what we attract.
This shift in thinking does not mean you can’t have goals, it just means you don’t feel an emptiness associated with those goals. Nothing is missing. There is just more to be gained. You already have the sundae… it doesn’t need that cherry on top. A cherry would just be a nice bonus!
I’ve seen people become so obsessed with a timeline for getting married, for example, that they soon did get married… but to the wrong person! The universe knows your true destiny. It knows what you need and when. Try to be patient and trust the flow.
Putting 90% of your focus on feeling grateful for what you do have and 10% on what you would still like to obtain, will completely change your outlook on life, as well as your physical and emotional health.

Managing The Blocks To Manifesting
It’s no longer a ‘secret’ that we contribute to and shape what comes in to our lives. The art of manifesting, or co-creating, is influenced heavily by the soul’s individual frequencies or vibrations. The key to controlling the process is to heal and clear emotional states or patterns that present an energetic block to it, resulting in a partial result, no result, or even a reverse result. I call this counter-manifesting and it often occurs unconsciously, which is typically the more powerful form of creating.
The idea that we co-create can be somewhat challenging to accept and itself may come with an attachment of fear due to the level of personal responsibility involved. It’s much easier to say it was God’s plan, or the Universe sent this, than to accept that within yourself you are having a hand in the show.
It important to understand that to manifest and create, self-awareness and self-love are key driving factors and involves acceptance of the whole self, including the ego and shadow self. This process directly impacts an individual’s level of self-worth and value. Without being at a level of deserving and in a receiving frequency it can be difficult, or almost impossible to manifest.
