It is Spring here in the northern hemisphere, and nature is lifting her beautiful head after a particularly active Winter. The trees are budding, tulips, daffodils and crocuses are blooming, and the energy of new growth and myriad possibilities is a driving force for all living things. In addition, we recently entered the New phase of the Moon, which means that we cannot see the Moon at this time ~ it is in darkness, since the Moon herself emits no light and is only seen when she is reflecting light from the Sun. A New Moon always represents rebirth, new beginnings, and new cycles. Potential!
This particular New Moon is in the Zodiac sign of Aries. In brief, Aries is about confidence, assertiveness and independence. It represents the Self, and our conscious will.
With the New Moon, and its position in the sign of Aries, this is the perfect time for goal-setting and formulating new ideas and projects! The darkness, in this context, represents the Void ~ the amorphous world of thought, from which all creation is birthed. This is an ideal time to look inward, connecting energetically with your creative potential, to identify what you desire to bring to Life in your experience.
Once you have identified your objects of creation, you can use the Law of Attraction, and the potent inner technology that we all carry in our bodies, deliberately and consciously, to enLIVEn your creations and, eventually and inevitably, witness them coming to fruition in this physical realm.
This is a lengthy blog, so get comfortable! Find a cozy, quiet spot, have your favorite beverage on hand, put your feet up, and prepare to activate your goals!
Who Are We to Create in the World?
Each of us is Source energy. Each of us is Source, focused in a physical body, for the purpose of knowing its Self, in relationship with that which, for the purposes of this discussion, we will call “other.” “Other” can be persons, material goods, conditions, circumstances, identities or titles (mother, father, sister, friend, teacher, pastor, boss, etc.). Through relationship with other, we experience our Selves in the scenario we call Life. As a result of this experience, we discern preference. Preference gives way to desire, and desire summons Life force, the creative force. The summoning of Life force is what creates more life! More discernment, more preferences, more creations. If we did not experience desires, we would not summon life force, and one could then posit that life would very quickly cease to be.
So, the question really is who are we NOT to create in the world?
To iterate, each of us is Source energy, focused in a physical body. The portion of Source that is focused in this physical body is relatively small, in comparison to that portion of Source that resides in the non-physical realm. Yes, the portion of Source energy that enLIVEns your physical body is an extension of a much larger, broader, expansive Source energy “body,” which remains in non-physical.
Houston, We Have Lift-Off
To illustrate this relationship, I like to use the analogy of the relationship between NASA and its exploratory vehicle, the Space Shuttle. Each of us is like the Space Shuttle, an important part of NASA, launched from home base on its exploratory mission, tasked with a specific goal (in this case, experience Life in relationship to “other”), and sending intelligence back to home base.
NASA represents the huge portion of Source energy that remains in the non-Physical realm ~ home base, if you will. When the Space Shuttle is launched from home base to carry out its exploratory mission, it is a small piece with a huge team (NASA) that remains behind, with its broad, expansive, abundant perspective and power ever at the ready. When the Space Shuttle identifies a need, NASA is there to assist from that broader, more expansive perspective.
When the Space Shuttle is in orbit, in outer space, NASA doesn’t say, “Okay, orbiter, you’re on your own. See you when you get back.” No! NASA is always there, always communicating, always ready with assistance and encouragement.
The Universal Law of Attraction, In Brief
The Universal Law of Attraction (for it is, indeed, a Universal law) is a very simple, straightforward formula:
- Ask for what you desire. We do this in a variety of ways, all of which influence, affect and constitute our vibration, which is the language through which we speak to Source.
- The answer is always yes! (This is Source’s part in the formula.)
- Allow your object of creation to manifest in the physical.
There are many ways of asking ~ through contrasting experience (you experience what you don’t want, and instantly identify what you do want, on the subtle, energetic level), through prayer (and there are several types of prayers), through direct experience (“I like that, I want that!”). Regardless of the asking mechanism, the Higher Self, the part that remains in the non-Physical realm, immediately becomes that which we do want, and vibrationally goes about pulling together all the people, circumstances, conditions, etc. that are in vibrational alignment with that-which-we-do-want.
Then it is our choice to stay in alignment with our desire, or to experience resistance to our desire.
Ask and Ye Shall Receive
As we experience life here on this planet Earth, we come to realize that we live in a Universe based in contrast and polarity. Everything in this Universe has its opposite counterpart. Neither is good or bad ~ “good” and “bad,” “positive” and “negative” are labels of judgment that each of us assigns subjectively, as a result of our own individual filters. Each thing just is ~ it would not exist without the benefit of its opposite.
As we continue to accumulate Life experience, we learn to discern our preferences, and just through having a preference, we are asking.
Communion with Source ~ Asking with Deliberate Consciousness
Now we come to the heart of this discussion, the purpose for this paper. The previous discussion and analogies present the perspective that we are here in this physical body on this physical plane deliberately, consciously and purposefully. You are not here randomly or by accident. Since you are Source energy, you intended your Self here now.
You intended your Self here now. That is how powerful we are. And we can use that power deliberately, consciously and purposefully to craft a more pleasing, joyful life experience.
Are We There Yet?
I want to now discuss what I believe to be the most effective, streamlined way to do that.
This blog may be lengthy, because I am still getting clear on the mechanics, the relationships, the logistics ~ how it all works. “We teach what we need to learn,” so I’m learning right along with you!
But the actual creation process, utilizing the internal technology that we all hold within our physicality, takes only a few minutes. You can take longer if you want to, if you are enjoying how it feels as you go through the process. You will see how it really is all about feeling good.
Now that we know the formula, and have a clearer understanding of our relationship with Source, we can begin creating now deliberately with clarity and purpose.
Communion and Creation
We have identified something particular that we want to experience in our Life ~ our goal ~ whether it’s a relationship, condition, material possession, circumstance ~ whatever. Now, find a quiet place where you will be undisturbed for at least 5-10 minutes ~ longer, if you have it. Get into a comfortable position, whether you are sitting up or lying down. Close your eyes and get comfortable. Take several deep, long breaths and feel your body relax. You are now releasing resistance in your body, and getting your Self into a more peaceful state of Being..
Once you feel that Peaceful state, bring your desire into your mind. Do you see it as a picture in your head? If it’s a relationship, see that person physically with you. If it’s a career or business, see yourself in that setting. If it’s a material possession ~ a home, a car ~ see yourself in that setting.....
See yourself there now.
Now, here’s where it gets fun. With your eyes closed, what do you see? What do you smell, taste, touch, hear? What are the feelings associated with your desire?
Do you feel the wind in your hair? Smell that “new car” smell? What do you hear, see? Are you on a multi-lane highway, or a quiet country road? Driving down the Pacific Coast Highway, with the ocean view? Or driving up Route 1 in Maine, with its lovely, quaint coastal villages and harbors. Do you smell the sea? Hear the gulls? Feel the salty air on your skin? Are you on a country lane? Can you smell the earth? Are you passing horse or cattle or dairy farms? Can you smell those earthy, potent animal smells? Can you hear the birds ~ crows, chickadees, geese?
What’s the atmosphere like in your “office?” What sort of furniture do you see? Are there lots of windows? Is there a lot of light, or do you prefer a more subdued lighting concept? Can you smell coffee brewing? Is there lots of hustle and bustle in your office, or is it more peaceful and quiet? Do you keep a bowl of candy or mints on your desk? Is your chair upholstered in cloth or leather? Do you have a PC or a Mac? Is it on your desk or a near-by credenza? Do you have plants and photos, or do you prefer a more stark, uncluttered environment? Is there lots of wood, or do you prefer more metal?
Are you out to dinner with your Beloved? Is the restaurant setting romantic, candle-lit? Is there lovely music playing in the background? Can you smell the candles, the flowers ~ the food? What kind of restaurant is it ~ Italian, Greek, French, Thai? Are you holding hands across the table? Are you dressed up, or casually dressed? Is this the perfect end to a lovely day together, window-shopping and antiquing? Or is it a reunion after a long work day? Are you celebrating a special occasion, or simply reconnecting? What is your conversation like? Are you making plans for a future event? What do you see on the walls? What is the atmosphere like ~ light and airy, or subdued and intimate? Are you in a small town, a big city, near the water, in the mountains?
What does it feel like to be in your healthy body? Do you feel strong and efficient? What kinds of healthful foods are you eating? How does that apple, or peach or pear feel in your hand? Can you feel your feet planted firmly on the earth? Are your shoes on or off? Can you feel the grass under your feet? How powerful do you feel knowing all your systems in your body are working optimally, just as they were meant to? Are you going for a walk, or preparing for a 10K? Are you relaxing after a long day running after your children? Preparing a healthful meal with your family? Or maybe your favorite recipe and a glass of wine as you sit down to watch your favorite movie? How does it feel to have the energy to perform routine, mundane tasks yourself, contrivuting to your feeling of independence and competence?
What words would you use to describe the feel of your ideal home? Is it big and airy? Cute and cozy? Are there carpets, or hardwood floors? Are the lines clean and simple? Or do you prefer enhancements, like moulding and chair rails, wainscotting? Do you have built-in cabinets and shelving in your house? What are the bathrooms like? Marble sinks? Lots of glass? Big clawfoot tub and exposed brass or copper plumbing? Two sinks or one? Glass shower door, or shower curtain? Are your walls painted or papered? How many floors in your ideal home? Is there a porch? Are you in a house or a condo? What is the surrounding landscaping like? Are you in the city, a quiet suburb, or in the country?
You see the point. Engaging all your physical senses, through thoughts, plus feeling the essence of your creation ~ this is Communion. You are communing with your Higher Self, BEcoming one with your creation. This is a form of prayer, a highly effective form of prayer. The feeling is the prayer. The feeling is what determines the quality of the vibration, and the level of vibration. The vibration activates, if you will, the blueprint that you have selected for your creation.
Spend some time “there” now. Use your thoughts to access all your physical senses ~ create through Being, which is to say, through feeling.
Wrapping It Up
Now that you have spent this time creating, take a minute to take a few deep breaths and settle back into your body. How do you feel? Peaceful, or anxious? Happy, or uncertain? Little of both, maybe? That can happen, especially when we feel attached to the outcome.
What you’ve just done is you have tapped into the essence of the creation. You have just connected energetically with your creation. Now, the Universe, your Higher Self, is doing its part to connect your physical Life experience with everything that is in alignment with that creation. If you continue to feel resistance in the form of doubt, anxiety, worry, you are attached to the outcome, or more precisely, you are afraid that it won’t come to pass, or at least not in the way that you envisioned it.
Please understand that even before you sat down to participate in your role as a co-creator, the Higher Self that is connected to you already knows what’s going to make you feel good. Your participation as a co-creator ~ looking at details and characteristics and specifics ~ is to get you to the feeling, not to pick out the nuts-and-bolts, 2x4‘s and raw materials of your creation. It is to get you to the feeling, the feeling, the FEELING! The feeling is the activator code ~ the feeling is the hotline to 1-800-IAMSOURCE.
So you want to stay feeling good and peaceful. You want to release your attachment to the outcome. Feel that peaceful feeling again, and then access the feeling of gratitude. Gratitude is a feeling of the highest vibration. “Thank you for allowing me the gift of creation.”
Finish your visualization, your meditation, your creation with “This, or something better.” This is a great little phrase, crafted by Catherine Ponder, a 20th century inspirational author who has written many books on prosperity. “This, or something better,” tells the Universe you like what you have connected with and you are open to something even better ~ which, by the way, is probably what the Universe has in mind for you anyway.
The Bottom Line
In conclusion, let me end with something I read in Esther Hicks’ book “Money and the Law of Attraction.” I used to have the mindset that I had to control every detail of my creation, and my faith in myself and Source was lacking (no pun intended). When I read this simple explanation, I cant tell you enough how inspired I felt. It was, to quote Oprah, an “a-HA!” moment:
“Everything you think you want, is because you believe that you will feel better in the having of it. When you understand that you can feel better any time [through your thoughts and emotions]...that is true freedom.”
It’s not the thing I want ~ it’s the feeling that the thing represents for me! And I can feel that feeling any time ~ yes, I can, any time.
I released a whole lot of resistance with that one.
Now, just sit back, relax, stay peaceful, and watch what happens with your creation in the coming days, weeks and months. And keep your eyes and ears open for signs that it’s manifesting ~ you will be amazed, especially when you ask for confirmation!
