The Past Can Prevent Your Future
Why am I stuck? Why am I not advancing? Why can’t I find love? Why is money never coming to me and always flowing out from me? These are questions I struggled with for a long time in my own life.
I delved deep into many aspects of life design, manifesting change, the Law of Attraction, deliberate creating, and personal growth and reinvention. I have watched, listened and been active in more workshops, online webinars and online learning in this genre than most will ever do in a lifetime. I have read the books and taken many notes. I have made the visions boards and spoken the affirmations. But no matter where I turned, I was always confronted with actual reality versus trying to ‘positive think and believe’ something else. How can we believe we are destined to be something different or better simply by speaking it…or visualizing it? The truth is, it isn’t that simple.
In my search for answers I have also watched others who have participated in the forums, seminars and workshops, and actually achieved something significant in their life. And it has been my observation that the people who have truly risen above their circumstances and achieved their dreams, are the ones that did the deeper inner work.
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.
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.
The Secret Of ‘The Secret’
The Secret, a best-selling book and film by Rhonda Byrne, has popularized the concept of the universal Law of Attraction in mainstream society since it was published more than a decade ago. Yes, there is such a law, but most people’s understanding of this law is that it depends solely on the conscious mind – what we think is what we become. But in truth it has nothing to do with our conscious mind. If it did, all the Law of Attraction gurus in the world would be rich without working, skinny without dieting, have muscles without working out, and in love with a perfect mate without having to apply any relationship skills.
The conscious mind, our wishful thinking, our conscious desires and appetites, does not drive our lives. Mainstream Psychology knows this. Famous Austrian psychoanalyst and neurologist, Sigmund Freud popularized the concept of the unconscious mind and believed that it was a repository of thoughts, memories, feelings, which our conscious mind is reluctant to accept. Sigmund Freud’s theory of personality divided the human mind into 3 levels: the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind. The conscious mind, he believed, only represents 10% of our mental capacity.
Manifesting Your Dreams Into Reality
Just about every person has something in their everyday life they would like to improve, myself included. So, with that in mind, I set out to research and figure out how to manifest certain things I wanted to shift in my everyday life.
Manifesting comes in many forms, and can help with many aspects of life, including the attraction of more prosperity and abundance, or meeting that special someone to commit to, or finding your dream job. The possibilities of manifesting is endless, and can applied in anything we need help with. It is also helpful to remember manifesting is an art and not a quick fix to all our problems. Instead it’s a metaphysical tool to better our lives and remove obstacles.
Over the years, I have tried many different methods of manifesting and have found some that tend to promote the process more easily than others. I would like to share the knowledge I gained on my quest to learn how to manifest my dreams into reality.
