Posts Tagged ‘Soul Mate’
I nearly dropped the phone in shock yesterday when I called my friend Gary up because I had not spoken to him in three months.
He explained that he had been preoccupied—with a new relationship and that he believed that he had found the love of his life.
Now this may not appear to be shocking.
After all, people fall in love all the time, and sometimes with the right person, too.
What makes it shocking is that it happened to Gary.
You’ll probably want an explanation.
Gary was an A-type personality, and he had achieved tremendous success in business. He had then purchased several nice homes, quit working, and began to live off the income from his rentals.
Since he did not enjoy working, he anticipated that his early retirement at the age of 35 would be a blessing, a situation that most people can only dream of achieving.
With nothing to preoccupy his time, apart from taking checks to the bank every month and budgeting his expenses, he tried to take an interest in gardening, but this soon faded and he hired a gardener and maintenance man to look after his properties.
Now with even less to do, he was faced with coming to know himself. Most people are too busy earning a living or raising a family to pay much attention to self-inquiry. Gary, too, had once been preoccupied with making it in the world.
He came to me for therapy, but since he was not an analytical person, he did not like my approach, which is basically to look at your past and start cleaning it up by loving, accepting, and forgiving yourself.
He looked back on his life and in his bleak mood saw only a history of struggle, humiliation, and defeat. A deep existential angst engulfed him. He decided that what he really wanted and what he had always needed was a soul mate, a woman who truly understood him.
Since his depression got worse, he went to see a psychiatrist, who gave him some drugs to elevate his moods. These did not make him happy, but they made him feel more even-minded.
He, then, started dating, and began a series of disastrous relationships, one after another, each getting worse. This serial dating continued for some years and he became somewhat of a misogynist.
On the phone, Gary babbled happily about the easy dynamics of his relationship and their perfect compatibility.
I asked Gary how this shift had happened.
He said, “Well one morning I decided to stop trying to fix things and even to stop dating. I decided to be happy anyway.”
A long pause followed.
Finally, I asked, “And…?”
“And she just showed up,” he said.
I’m not sure whether Gary realized that he had shared a profound truth with me.
In our various ways, we are always working hard to make things happen. Yet the laws of attraction work in a completely different way. When we choose to feel good, the universe responds to our desires.
Feeling good raises our vibrations and puts us in direct alignment with our inner power to manifest.
Enhance your power to manifest the life of your dreams using these ten creative methods:
1) Keep the end in mind. Ask yourself, what specific quality of life will the object of my desire bring to me? Why do I want this? Will it bring more Love, Harmony, Joy, Peace, Wisdom or Prosperity? Once you identify your real goal, do your best to assimilate that quality without the object and you will be deliberating achieving a vibrational harmony with the object you desired in the first place. When you acquire vibrational harmony or magnetic sameness with your desire – the object of your desire or something better HAS to come into your life – for it is the Law!
2) Identify what you want. The number one rule to Manifesting your Dreams is to “keep your eye on the ball.” The Universe does not process negatives – only energy. Therefore the question to ponder is “What do I want?” The question is NOT “What do I not want?” except to identify more of what you DO want.
3) Expect your dreams to come true. Expectation propels your desire and opens the runway for your dreams to land quickly, easily and gently. Additionally, with expectation as your fire, you will be less likely to run out of “desire fuel”!
4) Imagine it in the now. Imagine how it FEELS to have what you desire RIGHT NOW! Abraham through Jerry and Esther Hicks says, “Your point of attraction is now.” Therefore, whatever you are feeling and focused upon right now is what you are in vibrational harmony with and are attracting into your life.
5) Be energy efficient – be conscious of your “energy.” Keep in mind that like energy attracts like energy – therefore “what you sow you shall reap.” Feeling the lack of something only attracts more “lack of that something.” On the other hand, deliberately choosing positive feelings and focal points will keep you in alignment with your desires.
6) Maintain a laser focus on what you want. Give it your attention. Use tools such as setting goals, writing and repeating affirmations, visualization, gratitude journalizing, creative collage, treasure mapping, creation wheels and meditation. Relax, listen to yourself, state the affirmation and visualize the accompanying action and feeling. Remember, “Wherever you go, there you are!” – therefore, BE mentally and emotionally where you want to GO physically.
7) Be unattached. Maintain your desires but be unattached to the specifics of the outcome. Never limit the Universe by being disappointed if it isn’t in your life right now or isn’t coming as fast as you think it should. Be careful of being attached to the how, when, where, and who details. Turn it over to God and release your dream with statements such as “This or something better is manifesting in my life right now. I let it go and prepare to receive my good.” ALLOW the universe to let it flow to you easily!
Go on an appreciation rampage and preserve an attitude of gratitude. Relish the moment and be appreciative of all that you have. Be aware of every opportunity that comes your way and honor where you are on your path. Look at each experience as neither good nor bad, but as an opportunity to learn and grow. Don’t scold yourself when you make a mistake. Develop an affirmative statement describing your correct performance in the present tense, and allow your light to shine! See through the eyes of love. Choose to live in joy and spread it to all you meet!
9) Let Go of the past and follow your heart! Once and for all. Release the fears and prejudices that come from previous experiences. “Heaven’s not beyond the clouds; it’s just beyond our fears.” Regret and fear are the thieves that rob us of today. Accept responsibility for your life. Know that there are no victims. This means really forgive and forget, live without opinions, throw out your old baggage and live fully present in the moment at hand while following your heart’s guidance and desires for tomorrow. Your heart will never speak in fear – only in love. Follow your heart and you will have all that you desire.
10) Dream big! Ask for more than you “need.” You are the child of a rich father in heaven – claim your Divine birthright to unlimited Prosperity, Peace, Joy, Love and Harmony. Ask for all that you desire (in alignment with your values) and have the faith to relax and enjoy the journey. “I tell you the Truth, If ye have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, move from here to there: And it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20
