Can We Actually Order Up More Bliss?

I won't debate with you whether it was a dream or not, but last night I had this experience with these "angelic surgeons" who seemed to be working on me as if they had my physical body cut open and were performing "surgery" on my spiritual body and my emotional network.  It was kind of like a sci-fi movie in that my conscious self was "checked out" but could observe what was happening.  At one point, my voice, but much more rich and resonant, and with what seemed like a touch of Hollywood vibrato, came from someplace unreal and excitedly said to these surgeons, "Increase my capacity for bliss!"  Now, this is a phrase I used a lot several years back, but I haven't used, or even thought of this phrase in a very long time.  That it came out of me ... and not via my conscious mind ... startled, and THRILLED me!  But what thrilled me even more is that these "surgeons" responded to the request.  I felt a wave of joy flow through me as if someone had just cranked up the volume on a car radio!  It lasted for what seemed like hours.  As it went on and on, I thought that at some point it would get to the point where I couldn't stand all that joy anymore, but I never did!!!

How much do we "settle" for what seems to be in our lives?  How much are we really designed to understand, feel, think, create, flow, and soar?  I think our physical bodies have created such an illusion of our humanity and of limitation that we have only a smidgeon of awareness, a pinch of imagination, and a dash of belief ... compared to what is actually possible.  I am not the only one who has had things like this happen to them.  Stories similar to mine are recorded in great volume throughout the world and throughout time, actually.  They could be taken as dreams, wishful thinking, madness ... OR ... as spiritual glimpses into a Reality more real than we are currently allowing ourselves to experience.

The Art of Allowing as explained by Abraham-Hicks speaks to this kind of thing as they encourage us to focus on alignment with our good ... with what we are desiring ... so that we can let it in.  Imagine what your life would be like if you allowed yourself to increase your capacity for bliss by just 5%.  What if you increased it by 1% every day for a month?  How would your life be different from what you have been experiencing?  Can you think of ways to align yourself with bliss, or what you believe bliss is, or would feel like?  Can you imagine if you increased it by 1% every day of your life for the rest of your life ... if the capacity for bliss were endless?  It IS endless!  So stretch your imagination so far right now, this very minute, that you build the knowing that you have much more bliss available to you than you every thought about before, and feel the determination well within you to amp it up in your life!  

It is all there ... waiting for you!

Amp it up!

When It Rains, It Pours!

I just wanted to share with all of you that my world just seems to have opened up and is raining JOY!  Miracles are happening all around me.  Every area of my life has been touched in some beautiful way or another!  There are several things I've been doing to align with all this joy, but the most important thing I think I've noticed is my utter abandonment of doubt.  Just thought you'd like to know.

Blessings in Abundance,

Have I Started a New Business?

Hello from the land of miracles!  I have to tell you my latest manifestation.  As many of you know, I moved at the end of 2008.  But this wasn't just any move.  This was a life-changing move. This was BIG.  The whole process actually began months before when I started going through papers in an attempt to downsize my paper world and not move it with me.  I went through every paper in my home!  I ended up keeping only a fraction of what I had ... shredding, disposing, getting to my sons, and even burning massive volumes of the stuff that had filled my office and several storage bins for years.  I sold the big file cabinet I'd had and now I have two of those little hanging file containers and a box of office supplies and that is it.  

But that wasn't all.  I also sold about 90 percent of everything I owned!  I had dreamt about this time in my life for years, and now it was here.  It was time to get to the core of who I was and what I wanted to bring forward into the next phase of my life and to release all the rest.  

It took months before and after the actual moving day, moving through a process that I didn't share with the world to figure out what in my life was important to my soul and what I was ready to release.  But I can tell you this:  it feels totally wonderful now to be this free of stuff! After it was all over, I heard myself telling someone, "It feels so good I think I'd like to help others do this.  Maybe I've just found a new coaching niche!"  I laughed at the thought because the idea felt so wonderful laughter just bubbled out of me, but guess what happened next!

First my massage therapist friend approached me and asked if I'd help her to sell some things because she just didn't want it anymore and it was too much to keep holding on to it.  Then another friend asked me to help her thin out her house of stuff saying that since her mother had moved in, there was hardly room to walk.  Then I was talking to a man teaching a class I was attending and somehow we got to talking about my experience and he asked if I would help his wife as they were preparing to move.  Before I even realized it, I had 3 clients!

Now, let's take this story and break it down into Law Of Attraction (LOA) terms:

I was passionate about not bringing this part of my past into my future life experience, and determined to get it done during this move.  This equals emotional desire ... what Abraham-Hicks calls a rocket of desire ... fueled by passion.  

I took consistent action to keep the goal in sight and to move to realizing it.  This equates to aligning with the desire, which shows the universe that you have become a vibrational match for what you want and broadcasts that you are ready to receive it.

I allowed myself to let go of things that had at one time held great meaning for me.  I am a writer and a lover of deep thought and meaning and I had collected a lot of articles, music and quotes ... and much, much more.  By releasing these things, I reinforced my alignment to my goal of energetic freedom.

I launched a new rocket of desire when I joyfully had the thought of sharing this freedom with others.  This built the momentum I'd already established, as well as increased the emotional alignment as I radiated joy at the thought.

When the opportunities appeared, I embraced them.  I said "Yes!"  This is the culmination of the third step in the simple LOA process described in the book, Ask And It Is Given.  The lining up (alignment) and becoming a vibrational match to what is wanted is a part of letting in that which you desire ... letting in your good.

Here is the process for your review:

Step 1 (your work):  you ask 

Step 2 (not your work):  the answer is given

Step 3 (your work):  the answer, which has been given, must be received or allowed (you have to let it in)

So, I seem to have a new business venture underway without having done a stitch of advertising or even creating a brochure or a website.  I'm sure these will come effortlessly (the business materials) now that I have welcomed this vibration and have stepped into this particular stream of wellbeing.

Is there something you would like to create that hasn't quite clicked into being as of this moment?  Can you identify which step you are on in the 3-step process above?  Usually it is Step 3, which is why we are here.  This is the nitty-gritty stuff of life!  This is the journey we came here to take!  This is where the fun is at!  All of life is about launching rockets and moving into alignment to receive the joy of them when they arrive.  

Are you ready to receive your joy?

Happy manifesting!

Another Great Tool: The Miracle Money Technique

Hi from me!  

I did it again; I hibernated!  I don't know how many of you know this about me but I am right on that Introvert/Extrovert line and when winter comes, sometimes I get very introverted.  This year, it was much more than that.  If I got an astrological reading I would probably find that a lot of big cycles were coming to a close this year (my birthday is in December) and a lot of new energies coming in now.  That's how it felt ... um, feels.  Anyway, I buried myself in work, both practical and spiritual, and I moved.  But this move was major.  I sold and/or gave away about 90% of what I owned.  It has been such a freeing experience!  As you know, the universe sees this as a vacuum that it can then fill.  It will be fun to see what comes in now!

Meanwhile, my blog has been right here waiting for me these several months.  I hope you didn't lose faith in me.  I think that kind of life-shift only happens on that kind of scale once in a lifetime, so I should be here pretty regularly from now on.  And to start off this new period, I have a wonderful tool to share.  I just received it myself, but it reminds me of a phrase I used to use a few years ago ("I wonder what amazing thing will happen to me today!").  This comes courtesy of someone who uses the name "SAGMOON," and I hope I get to learn who this person is one day.  So, if you send a copy of this to anyone, please be sure to give credit to Sagmoon ... and ask them to honor that as well.  Thanks.  Here it is:

The Miracle Money Technique

The Statement:  "This week I will experience a Miracle having to do with money."

There are only Two Rules:

1.  When the Money Miracle happens, recognize and acknowledge it.

2.  This is not an affirmation to be repeated, except in the case of doubt or fear, and after Rule #1, meaning after you have received and acknowledged a Money Miracle.

Rule 1 can be tricky - it is actually training in "new vision."  Can you "see" the miracle when it comes?  This will be more clear when you learn about the phrase "having to do with money" below.  One may simply say, "Aha, here is a Miracle having to do with money!"

Rule 2 - This statement is NOT an affirmation that is to be repeated constantly.  Say it, and let it go to work!  If, however, you find that something disturbing occurs to bring in doubt that this will work, or a fear about money arises, then firmly repeat the statement, and again let it go. Also, as soon as you have acknowledged a Money Miracle, repeat the statement this way,  "And this week I will experience ANOTHER Miracle having to do with money!"

PURPOSE OR MEANING  OF THE WORDS IN THE STATEMENT:

"THIS WEEK":  These words accomplish two purposes; the first is to create a known framework of time in which the Miracle will occur.  Without these words the time is too vague, encouraging doubts to arise.  The second purpose is to fool the inner "judge" who has no faith in abundance.  This "judge" is of the ego and encourages our fears around money.  However this "judge" tends to be lazy, upon hearing "this week," it sets a strategy to send out its doubt and fear messages three or four days after the statement is made.  In actuality the Money Miracle will occur much sooner, thus getting around the tactics of the "ego-judge."

"I WILL":  This is NOT a future tense verb.  It is an expression of personal will phrased in such a way as to again fool the ego.  If there is one word in this statement that is to be emphasized, it is this one!

"EXPERIENCE":  When one receives and then sees the Miracle there is a real "aha!" reaction in the body.

"A MIRACLE":  It is critical to have no expectation of the source or the amount of the Money Miracle.  Do not think, "Now I will get a raise."  Or "Now I will win the lottery."  A penny on the floor can be as much a Miracle having to do with money, as an unexpected refund from the IRS for $850.00!  Acknowledge the penny (which appears primarily to let you know that the technique does work, and you need not be in fear) and then repeat the statement again.

"HAVING TO DO WITH MONEY":  This is the hard one.  It is easy to see a Money Miracle when it involves actual currency, and more difficult when you receive something of value that did not require an exchange of "green pieces of paper."  Once acclimated to acknowledging unexpected money as a "miracle" you will find the process may change - you begin to receive things at no cost.  (Being taken out to lunch, given a set of books or a ticket to a concert).  This phrase is the one most associated with Rule 1 - if it does not directly involve cash, check or money order, are you able to perceive that the Money Miracle has occurred?

Now - I've (Sagmoon, er and me too) actually had to add a 3rd rule, which was to tell people not to call me (after 9:00 PM or) before 7:00 AM to tell me that it worked for them!  And because this is a message board, that rule doesn't apply, thank heavens!  If you follow the two simple rules it WILL work -- promise.  There's a whole story behind how I was given this, and that can wait for another time.

(end of Sagmoon's post)

Well, I'll bet the story is great and I wish I knew it, but I don't, so you'll just have to settle for this very cool little game.  I'd love to hear how it works for you.  Leave comments on this blog, or email your stories to me.  

This was the first week I used this technique and to date I have received:

• a dime and penny from the floor of my car
  
• a reduction in a phone bill of $112.00
  
• free samples
• a $40.00 check in the mail

Cha-Ching!

I can't wait to see what amazing thing will happen to me next!   

Happy Manifesting,

CJ
