Ever notice how when bad things happen, they seem to come tumbling in and that the same is true for good things? I have a friend who had everything break down in a single week, her phone, her car, she's filing bankruptcy and she lost everything on her hard drive (5 years of precious projects and photos). I also have a client who has had incredible things pour in last week. She is surprised that there are so many suitors in her life, just found an amazing new apartment and is starting to get clients without "working hard."
So how do you get into that flow of receiving a bunch of wanted versus unwanted things? Personally I've been wanting a new car for some time and I haven't been able to decide. Part of me wants a convertible Bentley. I now, just slightly pretentious and outside of my lifestyle right now- but give me a year; )
I also have thought about a Lexus SC430 which unfortunately my Beloved Drew does not fit in very well. He's 6'10" So, I've been vacillating. It wasn't until I decided to just let go, and visualize myself having fun driving up Highway1 with Drew singing in the car that the perfect car appeared. A MINI COOPER! When I asked the dealer whether or not a very tall man, would fit, he said, "Yes, Shaquille O'Neal has one." My friend joked, "Yeah, he's not telling you it's a convertible!" But I had nothing to be concerned about. In fact, Drew not only fits, he says it's the roomiest car he has been in for quite awhile and even roomier than his Passat. Who knew? And it's super fun. It has changeable mood lighting, free satellite radio for a year, and takes the curves on Highway 17 like it's on rails. In the same few weeks, we have an article of our short film in ELLE magazine.
The key in this case to allowing all these good things in was to not be too specific about how and the what. I'm sure you've all heard about the power of creating a list for the things you want. I've discovered that if you are in your flow than specific lists are OK and even beneficial. But if you are not completely believing that it is possible to have exactly what you want, then pull back a little and allow yourself to be more general (it loosens resistance.)
So 3 Powerful TIPS on How to Make It Shower Blessings in Your Life!
1. Allow your specificity to be determined by how much resistance you have on the topic. If you have a lot of resistance, be more general about what you want. Get into the sensation of having what you want.
If you have little resistance then be more specific. Get into the details of your desire.
2. Did you know that the feeling of "longing" or "yearning" = resistance?
You have a desire that you know you can get, it's a pleasurable experience, even life giving. Your eyes brighten, you get a smile on your face, you may even clap your hands in excitement.
However, when there is something that you've been wanting for awhile and it hasn't come, it can be irritating rather than pleasurable. Have you noticed though that when you ask for something off hand (not that important) and forget about it, how it can show up unexpectedly? These are usually smaller items because we, as a culture, believe that the bigger things that we desire require time, hard work, and effort to receive. Nothing could be further from the truth.
So how can you change this pattern? First, let go of the big items, just stop focusing on them and make a list of 3 small things that you'd like to receive. Material or experiential. Also, write down why you want to receive them. When you receive them, start a new list and start to slowly upgrade the list with "bigger ticket" items. This will start to show you how willing the Universe is always to cooperate with your desires.
If you find it taking too long to get the bigger items, step it down a notch, and start to manifest different aspects of the bigger ticket item. For instance, if you want a new luxury car, manifest a ride in one, first. When you start to see this car drive by often, you know you're close.
3. Where people mis-create the most. Do you know the most common mis-creation happens when you are daydreaming, in the shower, or driving? It happens when you're just letting your mind wander. If you tend to daydream about incredible things happening to you then this does not apply to you. However if you daydream about problem solving, scenarios where you are in conflict or contemplating something that troubles you, you are putting experiences of an equivalent vibration into your experience.
But tracking your thoughts all day long can be tricky. A simple way to take back your power in your unconscious or repetitive tasks, is to track where it is that you day dream most and include sensory objects to remind you to focus on what you want!
In the bathroom this could be creating a ritual of self care putting a few drops of essential oil in your shower, pretty sponges, orchids. In the car, this can be something that you hang from your mirror that makes you laugh (nothing too distracting) and of course creating Cd's that lift your spirit or listening to audio books about people who have had extraordinary lives. I recommend any of Richard Branson's (the founder of Virgin) autobiographies.
You could find that you daydream at work, so make sure you have collages up that affirm what you are desiring to have in your life. Helping your mind to gently land on things that are desirable consistently will make the rain of blessings in your life an inevitable forecast!
