Why PRAYING Doesn’t Work

Why PRAYING Doesn’t Work

The difference between a prayer and a manifestation.

I have been exploring my spirituality for decades.  I think we all have, in one form or another.  Through loss and through life, we are always feeling into what this life experience is and what’s underneath it all.  What is the PURPOSE of life?  Why are we here? 

I’ve been exploring it, but I have always KNOWN it.  I always felt it – that deeper calling, that resonance, that BELIEF and that grace. 

Even as a kid I knew there was something bigger than me that was guiding me forward.  In the 70’s and 80’s we called it ESP.  I felt and I knew I had whatever that was.  Extra Sensory Perception – or a 6th sense – intuition – an ability to tap into another dimension.  I feel it is available to everyone.  It’s just that some of us are more open to it and have a more heightened awareness of it. 

With this knowingness life feels easier at times and a lot harder at times.  Sometimes it’s comforting.  Sometimes it’s confrontational.  Sometimes it’s weird and sometimes it’s wonderful.  But it was always, ALWAYS there to pull me forward and to help me in the darkest of times.  Times like when my sister died, when my Dad left, when the divorce was final, when I saw how broken our family was and when I took that leap out into the real world without a safety net.  There was always a power greater than me that I could lean on. 

I never really prayed except for one time when my sister was in a coma.  I prayed for her to stay here and to get better.  I prayed for her not to die.  When she did die,  I never prayed again.  It never felt right to me.  It felt like I was begging and pleading for something that was beyond my control. I was.


difference between prayer and manifestationI remember when things shifted from praying, or not praying into placing orders.  I was in college, getting my degree in theater, and I decided I wanted a certain part in a play.  I wanted it really badly but the odds were stacked against me.  There was a senior girl who always got the leads.  But I had such a strong desire so I asked for it.  I didn’t pray for it.  I announced it.  It was more of a “I will have this!” and not a “please can I have this.”  I demanded it.  I expected it.  I declared it. I wasn’t going to back down from it.  I auditioned with a KNOWINGNESS that I was getting that part.  During the audition I was pretending I was playing the part on stage.  I wasn’t auditioning for it.  I was BEING it. 

And I got it.  I didn’t even need to look at the sheet of paper with the parts announced.  I knew it.  With every fiber of my being I knew it. 

This was a different type of prayer.  Today I know it was a manifestation and I can see how and why it was so effective. 

I decided that I wanted it.  I knew I could have it.  I declared it. I acted as if it already happened.  I was BEING it, before I even got it.  I expected it, beyond a shadow of a doubt.  I KNEW it was mine.  And…. I let it go.  I never sat for a moment in the possibility that I wouldn’t have it but I also let go of any attachment to it.  I ALLOWED it in through my detachment. 

This is how manifesting works.  It is different from a prayer for me, it’s a knowingness, an expectation and a decision.  We align with it and allow it in and it’s ours.

A Quick Shift and a Powerful Process to Attract What You Want in Your Life

A Quick Shift and a Powerful Process to Attract What You Want in Your Life

I hope you’re all doing ok friends. I wanna teach you a process I’ve used for over 20 years. This process can help you shift your state in the moment if you’re feeling fear or overwhelm or worry. And..it can help you align with the reality you DO want and attract it into your life. This process called a “future pull” can be worked into your everyday life. (I do it in the shower.)

You can practice it by visualizing what you’re excited to experience after we’re on the other side of this pandemic. I share some fun examples in this vid. And fun ways you can do it.

 

I hope this helps you find more peace and joy!

I’d love to hear what YOU’RE excited to do when you can live life outside again! Reply to this post and let me know.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay positive. #wevegotthis

THE POWER OF INTENTIONS

THE POWER OF INTENTIONS

I launched a rocket of desire before this school year for the right and perfect teacher.

I got specific in my request.

I asked the Universe for a teacher who was…

Positive. Focused on gratitude. Catered to all learning styles. Very sweet and nurturing. Used a lot of verbal and visual cues. A great communicator. And who really understood my kids needs for breaks and movement.

I can say with 100% certainty that I got the right and perfect teacher for my kids this year.

What a blessing.
What a relief.

THE POWER OF INTENTION.

In Zoes classroom this morning I sat in on their morning meeting before a field trip.

Listen to some of this magic!!!

They greeted each other by looking in each other’s eyes and shaking hands and saying good morning in Japanese. Yep, Japanese!

THEN they went around the room and shared something they were grateful for!!! (Hold back the tears…)

How amazing!! To do that every morning?! Starting your day at school focused on gratitude?! (You know I was crying…)

So so grateful for this amazing teacher. And for this beautiful day. And for this life experience!!

Intention is a POWERFUL thing.

Have you set a powerful intention lately?

What are you waiting for?
