My husband and I head up a program for our church members who are college students going to school away from home. We wanted to do an end of year reception for all the participants and the best day was May 23 right after church. The students would be through with the spring semester and Summer school would not have started yet.
After we put it on the church calendar, I realized I was scheduled to count money after the service that Sunday. We could not move the reception to an earlier week (not enough time) and the best attendance would occur on a Sunday right after church. The next Sunday would be memorial weekend, a bad choice and then we would be into June and Summer school. So we stuck with May 23. I just did not have time to try and find a replacement for my counting duty that Sunday so I threw it out to God or the Universe that if I was going to be able to attend this event that I was planning ‘you’ are going to have to get me a replacement. I then let it go.
Sunday May 16th I received an e-mail that the finance committee had a meeting Monday. I did not have this meeting on my calendar! I went and at the end of the meeting I told my dilemma and had a person volunteer to change days with me. Problem solved.
So did God or the Universe or I on another level cause this meeting to take place so I could get a replacement so I could attend the reception? I have heard about a technique of listing all your to-do items and then deciding what you really want to do and what you are going to leave up to God or the Universe to do. I have done this before with a problem concerning an incorrect income reported to the Social Security Administration and nothing has happened. Maybe it will be a moot point when it actually is needed so that is why nothing has happened!
Manifesting or Intuition?

I wanted to continue with yesterday’s topic as I feel it is very important. Maybe I am just trying to get it clear in my own mind.
One morning last week I started thinking about my watch. I had to take this watch in for some repair work in April and had to leave it with them. I was thinking it was about time to get my watch back. That afternoon, I received a call that my watch was ready.
Some people call these types of occurrences idiosyncrasies, others call them coincidences but I want to propose something else. What if these are actually manifestations of our thoughts? What if we have more power than we think we do?
Are you ready to take responsibility for your thoughts and resulting actions?
You could probably tell me your own stories. The time you started thinking about someone you have not thought of in years and all of a sudden you get a call from them. What about the list of things you wanted to do that you wrote up years ago then rediscovered the list recently and realized you have accomplished them all.
There are many such stories. Are these coincidences? In this household we have a favorite saying “There are no coincidences”.
I think one of two things is happening. Either we are using our intuition and accessing the future or we are creating, manifesting the future.
I find myself leaning more and more toward the idea that we are manifesting the future. What do think is going on?
Have you ever ‘known’ something was going to happen – and it did? There have been times I saw a door prize and ‘knew’ it was mine. I would be out of my seat and about to head to the front before my name was even called. I always wondered if I was creating the event or exercising intuition.
This can also apply to unpleasant events. Once my husband and I were outside watching our two-year-old ride his new bike. I was close to the house and Paul was by the end of the drive where there was a three foot drop into the bar-ditch full of muddy water. Jesse had ridden to within five feet of where Paul was and stopped. I ‘knew’ Jesse was going to head for the ditch but I thought ‘Paul’s there and will stop him’. Sure enough, Jesse gave a little banzai scream and headed for the ditch, and Paul just stood there. I was pretty frustrated with Paul at the time (we ended up in the emergency room – but Jesse was ok). But now I think I was picking up on intuition about that event when Paul was not.
Then there are the times I just knew it was time; time to get a job, time to go on a retreat. The feeling was one of resignation, a letting down of an energy that was keeping the status quo. As soon as I let the energy down the event happened. For example: I had moved to Austin with my new husband and had been searching for a job. One day while driving around I felt it was time to get a job. There was an energy shift. When I got home, I received a call from some one who had received my resume and I knew from their tone that they were going to hire me. Another time, my husband had talked me into signing up for a 3 day retreat. This was a women’s retreat that had a six month waiting list. I was not totally sold on going when I signed up but two weeks later while driving around town I decided it was time and I really did need to go on this retreat. When I got home, my sponsor called and said there was a cancellation for the retreat happening that weekend and could I go! As soon as my shift in thought or energy occurred the event happened!
I have been playing with shifting energy lately and it is hard. The resistant energy resides at the bottom of my heart and just above my stomach. I can feel it. But letting it go is difficult. I can’t seem to force it to leave; I have to let it go or release it. I would be interested in knowing of other people’s experiences.
Create Your Own Rules

We all live by rules. Some rules are there to protect you. Some rules are created to level the playing field. Some rules are just to make the game more interesting.
We have legal rules to keep us safe. Then there are general and globally accepted morality rules about relationships, food, money, religion and a host of other areas. Each culture and country has rules on social behavior and acceptable ideologies. Then there are more personal rules that we create for ourselves. These rules are often a refinement of the more global rules such as: I will never find that perfect partner, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and I just can’t lose weight.
These rules hold true of us because we created them. But on the personal level, what is true for one may not be true for another. We manifest these personal truths into being. How do you manifest them? By putting energy into the idea. To manifest something you have to start with an idea. Then you add your passion, your energy, your emotion. Over time that extra energy solidifies into reality. The reality may start as an idea, such as “I can’t lose weight” that manifest into being overweight.
From what I have read about manifesting, answered prayers and even the paranormal activity some police departments run up against, it is intense emotion that creates things. I have found from personal experience in my prayer life that the more intense, emotional prayers get answered the fastest. I have heard and read many true life stories where some one in the midst of strong anger had extraordinary experiences such as: ironing clothes with a hot iron that was never plugged in, seeing objects falling off shelves and other objects being thrown across the room, witnessing objects appear in thin air. Often when someone feels their house is haunted and they move but the haunting continues in their new home, it is because their own strong emotion about something is still with them. It is the emotion that is creating the haunting activity not another entity.
If we are so good at manifesting, why don’t we direct that energy and create a more desirable life for ourselves? I believe we are attempting to learn that right now. Some people can do that. Some people seem to have a natural ability to manifest what they want. Maybe the rest of us are trying too hard. I would love to create my own rules and manifest what I want at will. I’ll let you know when I get there.
Sometimes on a conscious level we may want something but on an unconscious level we are pushing it away. I found this happening with a woman in California. This lady had a house she had been trying to sell. She had already purchased a house in another part of the country and really needed to get rid of this California house. The housing market was not helping any and she was willing to try anything, no matter how unorthodox.
At her scheduled appointment, I quizzed her a little about the house, looking for attachment issues. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is great with emotional issues and often our emotions will hit our logic over the head and take over when we don’t even realize that is happening. I found out that this was the house where she had raised her children. She had seen them grow up and move out. Now the house was too big and she had moved on with her life also.
Ah ha! This house symbolized a past she was afraid of losing! I now had an emotional tie. We worked on this issue and various aspects of it (letting go, keeping memories). At the end of the hour I suggested that she go to the house and perform a release ritual, going through each room and thanking it for being a good house and releasing each room to be used by a new family. I got word from this lady a week and a half later that the house was sold!
Sometimes we hold on to things and can’t let them go. I think this also happens sometimes when someone is in a coma and needs to move on but their loved ones just can’t seem to let them go.
Placebo Effect

Wow! It looks like the changes in the world are occurring!
What changes you may ask? The changes the holistic community and light workers are expecting soon. These involve the ability to manifest easier, a realization that there is much more out here than the physical world and the ability to heal ourselves.
Dr. Mercola recently had a report from Wired Magazine (August 24, 2009) that stated: “From 2001 to 2006, the percentage of new products cut from development after Phase II clinical trials, when drugs are first tested against placebo, rose by 20 percent. The failure rate in more extensive Phase III trials increased by 11 percent, mainly due to surprisingly poor showings against placebo. Despite historic levels of industry investment in R&D, the US Food and Drug Administration approved only 19 first-of-their-kind remedies in 2007—the fewest since 1983—and just 24 in 2008. Half of all drugs that fail in late-stage trials drop out of the pipeline due to their inability to beat sugar pills.”
To me this is saying that we are making headway with changes in our spiritual beings.
The article continues with: “Some products that have been on the market for decades, like Prozac, are faltering in more recent follow-up tests. In many cases, these are the compounds that, in the late ’90s, made Big Pharma more profitable than Big Oil. But if these same drugs were vetted now, the FDA might not approve some of them.
Isn’t this wild! Even the older drugs when retested are not beating the sugar pills!
It’s not that the old meds are getting weaker, drug developers say. It’s as if the placebo effect is somehow getting stronger.
Maybe we are finally realizing we do have more control than we thought.
The fact that an increasing number of medications are unable to beat sugar pills has thrown the industry into crisis.”
I guess the drug companies would get pretty nervous about this report and will probably try and debunk it. I think it is great and gives me more hope for the future of mankind.
Manifesting Your Bank Account

April 29th, 2010 >> Change, EFT, Manifesting, Meridian Tapping, Physical/Material
I believe in the symbolism of life, everything around us including our aches and pains are there to represent something in our life. Often it is there to mirror how we feel about ourselves, or it maybe to reflect some other emotional state. With this in mind, I have an interesting idea. What does your bank account symbolize? Could it be a symbol of your perceived value of yourself? The numbers on your bank statement are just numbers, you give them meaning. These numbers are reflecting back to you your perceived value.
If this is true, you could change you bank account by changing your self value! If you struggle with money, you may be undervaluing yourself. But you may say, “This doesn’t apply to me. I think I am a great or at least good person with value to offer.” Let me counter that. Often symbolism shows up when we will not acknowledge an emotion, or a problem that we are having. Our ego tries to protect us by hiding our true emotions from ourselves, it doesn’t help that our culture has tried to teach us to smother our emotions. The physical manifestation appears to try and show us what is going on in our emotional life.
Our emotions drive so much of our life. It is our strong emotions that manifest things in our life. The law of attraction relies on emotions. The more intense the emotion the faster it will manifest.
So now that you realize that you have a low bank account and want more in it, what do you do? One method that can help change your emotional outlook is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or one of the other meridian tapping techniques. If you would like help uncovering the emotions behind what is going on in your life, go to www.naturallyresilient.com and sign up for a session. We can get to the bottom of it and make a change for the better.
Playing With Life

April 27th, 2010 >> Change, EFT, Energy, Life, Manifesting, Meridian Tapping, Vibration
There has been an idea coming to me over the last two years. I have always heard that if something comes to you three times you better take notice. Well this has been coming at me multiple times! The last one was Sunday when we were reviewing Ecclesiastes. This is a book in the Bible that is rather cynical as one of my classmates put it. We all agreed that it sounded like a teenager blogging their deep thoughts and questions, trying to make sense out of life. There was a kernel that jumped out at me. Ecclesiastes 3:22 states “So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is why they are here!…” This was just another version of what I have been confronted with over the last 2 years.
“Have fun”, “Play with it”, “Enjoy life” this is what I have been hearing over and over again. Am I that dull of a person that I have to keep being told to enjoy being here? My life has had some hard and rough patches or stretches over the last 18 years so maybe some one is trying to wake me up and tell me that it is ok to have fun again. It is hard to stop stressing about life when you have done it for so long. I am working with the various energy techniques I know such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Meridian flushing and tracing, other meridian tapping techniques and of course “Law of Attraction” work.
I see playing with life, playing with energy flow, as being positive qualities that according to the “Law of Attraction” will bring more good and positive things into my life. I want to play with life and have fun!
Last year I did an experiment where I noted how I was doing emotionally and what happened in my life soon after my emotions changed. I noted that when I was feeling up and positive good things happened and life went smoothly. When I was feeling down, depressed and scared soon my life started attracting reasons to feel that way. The feelings always came first!
This year I am trying to stay positive, trying to play with life. I never thought of myself as a negative person but it has been a struggle. Writing positive words on me has helped; also shifting to anticipating good in the future is helping me stay positive. I can often feel the energy flowing and I will often stop and play with it, raising its vibration. I will keep you informed about how the “law of attraction” goes with the positive thinking.
Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised
There are numerous interpretations or editions of Hill’s original book. The one I reference claims to be “the original version, restored and revised”. It is a good book, well organized and planned. If you choose to buy a different editions or version, make sure it has a 5 star rating as they are not all created equally.
Hill breaks down his procedure to 13 steps. Many other authors of similar topics have this condensed to fewer steps but if you want to know the whole method get Hill’s book. Some of the steps are: Desire, Faith, Autosuggestion, Specialized Knowledge (this deals with personal experience and observations), Imagination, Organized Planning, Decisions, etc, you get the idea.
Intense Emotions = Manifesting
Posted by: Ann
April 24th, 2010 >> Change, Energy, God, Guides, Life, Manifesting
I am big on symbolism. Many of the inconveniences and problems in life are symbols of other things that are going on in our emotional life. Our emotions have a tendency of coming out in physical form. This is what the ‘law of attraction’ is all about. In fact the more intense the emotion the faster something will manifest.
I have heard that the prayers of mothers are answered the quickest and I believe that is due to the intense nature of a mother’s prayer for her child.
However, to our dismay we often materialize the negative things in life quicker than the positive. This is because we can quickly bring up the negative emotions with more intensity that we can bring up the positive emotions. Try it right now, think of something bad and see how fast and how intense you can bring up the fear, the worry or the anger. Now think of something happy or good and see how long it takes to bring the intensity of that emotion to the same level as the negative emotion.
Some people are good with the positive emotions. I am not – yet. I am working on it. As they say, the first step is recognition of the problem.
There are techniques that can help. Vision boards give you something to focus on. Meditation can help calm a person. Prayer or talking with your spirit guides can help you realize you are not alone and it gives you someone to hand your hard problems to. But all of these are difficult when you are in the middle of the trauma that is bringing on the emotions. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow and let it wash over you and when you come out on the other side you will finally see the sun shining.
