The Lessons for Learning to Manifest Your Dreams

The Power of Feeling Good Now

We need to learn to be pleased with where we are right now, in this moment, no matter where we are. When we understand the power of feeling good right now, in this moment, we will hold the key to the achievement of any state of being, any state of health, any state of wealth, anything you desire.

There is nothing that you cannot do, be or have. Learn to leave behind any perceptions that are preventing your joy and power and start learning to reactivate the powerful ‘knowing’ that pulses within the very core of you.

You Create Your Own Reality

You were born with an inner knowledge that you create your own reality, but as soon as you began to integrate into society, you began to accept the ways that are considered the norm.

We need to realign with Source Energy. We need to start consciously returning to the knowledge that we are free to choose every thought. By consciously choosing the direction of your thoughts, you can be in constant connection with Source Energy, with God, with joy and all that is good.

Well-being is the basis of this Universe. Well-being flows to you and through you – you have only to allow it. Like the air you breathe, relax and draw it into your being.

How Do I Get There From Here?

It is not because you do not want it enough, because you are not worthy enough, because fate is against you or because somebody else has it and there isn’t enough.

It is because you are holding yourself in a vibrational holding pattern that does not match the vibration of your desire. This is the only reason!

So the only thing you need to do is gradually, piece by piece, start releasing all resistant thoughts – these are the only disallowing factors involved. Your increased sense of relief will be the indicator that you are releasing resistance, just as your feelings of fear, tension, anger and frustration are your indicators that you are adding to your resistance.

Everything you have ever desired, whether expressed aloud or unspoken, has been transmitted by you, vibrationally. It has been heard and understood by Source. You are now going to feel your way into allowing yourself to receive it.

When we think thoughts that hinder our natural connection with Source, thoughts that don’t have a positive vibration, we are offering resistance.

We must learn to be happy with what we have, while being eager for more, with anticipation and optimism, with no doubts or impatience or feelings of unworthiness. Any negativity will hinder the receiving of what we want.

The Simple Basis of Understanding Makes It All Fit Together

You can feel whether you are allowing your full connection to Source Energy. The better you feel, the more effectively you are allowing your connection, the worse you feel, the less you are allowing your connection – in other words, you are resisting your connection.

You are a vibrational being, a being of energy, and everything that you experience in your physical environment is vibrational. Through your eyes you translate vibration into what you see. Using your ears you translate vibration into the sounds that you hear. Your nose, tongue and fingertips are translating vibrations into smells, tastes and touches. By far your most sophisticated of vibrational interpreters are your emotions.

By paying attention to the signals of your emotions, you will begin to understand your life experiences. By understanding your emotions, you will be able to direct your future experiences that will bring you fulfillment.

The Law of Attraction, the Most Powerful Law in the Universe

Every thought carries a vibration and radiates a signal and every thought attracts a matching signal back. This process is called the Law of Attraction – that which is like unto itself is drawn.

When you send out vibrations of things you desire, you need to find ways of consistently keeping yourself in vibrational harmony with those desires, in order to manifest them.

Whatever you give your attention to, causes you to generate a vibration and the vibration that you are sending out, equals your asking, which equals your point of attraction. If there is something that you desire that you currently don’t have, you need only to focus your attention on it, and by the Law of Attraction, it will come to you. However, if you focus your attention on your current state of not having it, then the Law of Attraction will match that not having vibration and you will continue to not get what you desire. This is the Law.

The key to bringing something into your life that you wish to have, is to achieve vibrational harmony with it. The way to do this is by imagining that you have it, visualize it, feel it, enjoy it as though you have it. As you consistently send out this vibration, you will attract your desire into your life.

By paying attention to the way you feel, you will know if you are giving your attention to your desire or if you are giving attention to the absence of your desire. When your thoughts are a vibrational match to your desire, you will feel good, when they are not, you feel pessimistic and discouraged. You will know from how you feel, whether you are starting the allowing part of the Creative process to work. By paying close attention to your emotions, you will be in a position to start guiding your life in the direction of your desires.

You Get What You Think About Whether You Want It or Not

Whatever you think about, is like planning a future event. If your emotions are invested in the thoughts, you will bring the thoughts into reality, whether you are appreciating something or worrying about something. Nothing can occur in your life experience without your inviting it in via your thoughts.

Your desire for an improved financial situation cannot come to you if you feel envious of your neighbour’s good fortune, because the vibration of your envy is not in line with the vibration of your desire.

An understanding of your vibrational nature will make it possible for you to create your desired reality, for there is nothing that you cannot do, be or have. Doubt and fear can be replaced with knowledge and understanding, optimism and certainty and joy will return as the basic premise of your experience.

We must start learning the Art of Allowing and learning to stop the flow of resistance. Allow the well-being that you deserve, to start flowing into your life.

If You can Desire It, the Universe Can produce It

There is a stream of wellbeing that is available to you. You can allow it, or resist it. If you truly desire something, the Universe responds and it is available to you, provided you can match the vibration of that which you desire.

Without Allowing, You Will Not Receive

Remember that there is a stream of wellbeing available to us. The flow of this wellbeing towards you, will depend on the degree to which you feel blessed and expect good things to come to you. The more positive your belief is, the more you are allowing, the more negative, the more you are resisting. Whether you allow the flow of wellbeing or whether you resist it, the stream is constantly flowing toward you, always there, always available to you.

No matter what your current situation is, you are in the perfect place to begin right now!

You Are a Vibrational Transmitter and Receiver

You are a vibrational transmitter and you are broadcasting your signal in every moment of your existence. Your life, present and future, is directly and specifically affected by the signal that you are now transmitting.

Every thought you give your attention to, expands and becomes a bigger part of your vibrational output. Whether it is something you want or something you do not want, your attention to it, invites it into your experience. A small thought can become a powerful belief the more attention you give it, so be very focused on what it is that you would like to bring into your experience.

The Hidden Value Behind Your Emotional Reactions

Your emotions are about your relationship with your Source. Your emotions indicate the degree of your alignment with Source. You are an empowered Being and are completely free to create, and when you become aware of this and focus on things that are in vibrational harmony with what you want, you experience joy. But if you focus on what you don’t want, you experience disempowerment, disappointment and pessimism.

Like a sculptor molding clay into the perfect shape, it is up to you to mold your thoughts into harmony with your authentic self, creating energy that brings contentment, peace, joy.

The Three Steps to Whatever You Want to Be, Do or Have

The Creative Process is conceptually a simple one, it consists of three steps:-

Step 1 Ask
Step 2 The answer is given
Step 3 Receive – allow, do not resist

Step 1 Ask

Know what it is that you want and simply ask

Step 2 The answer is given

Every prayer is answered, every wish granted

Step 3 Allow, do not resist

This is the application of the Art of Allowing. This is where we learn to match the vibrational frequency of our Being to the vibrational frequency of our desire. Unless you are in the receiving or allowing mode, you will not be able to access your answered prayers.

Your attention must be on your wish, not on the lack of it

What you think and what you get is always a perfect vibrational match. If you are wanting good health, don’t mention or think of ill health. If you are wanting financial security don’t think of any shortage, if you are wanting a relationship don’t think of being alone.

As long as you focus on what you don’t want, more than on what you do want, you block what you do want and it cannot come to you. Start using your Emotional Guidance System, the way it is meant to be used.

The basis of life is freedom, the result of life is expansion and the purpose of life is joy. Appreciation and self-love are the most important aspects we must work towards and nurture.
