Manifesting Effortless Miracles (Are Easier Than You Think)

Four weeks ago I moved both my home and my office, and it feels like I've been sorting through boxes forever.  Today I excavated a bunch of notes from various training programs I've taken, and, my goodness, what a lot of information is in all those pages.

Just looking at them (not even reading them) feels overwhelming. And something I remember from one of the programs group calls was someone complaining how many hours she spent each morning implementing the techniques. She was meticulously doing *every*single*action* to make something happen in 30 days or less.

That's a good way to make nothing happen in 30 *years* or more!!

But we're so programmed to believe that if you work hard and do everything perfectly, good stuff will happen.

However, when you're working as Consciousness, the opposite is true.

Effort, and trying hard, stops your creativity as Consciousness. Perfectionism paralyzes us into inaction.

If you're trying really hard to magnetize your energy to attract something, effort repels it instead.

Consciousness works effortlessly. Actions taken as Consciousness are playful. Systems and processes only work if they're done with curiosity, and improvisationally.

Intentions need to be open-ended. Techniques need to be used with a beginners' mind. In fact, you often have to trick your mind, because it's the part of you that wants to be in control, it wants to KNOW exactly how to do it, and be very specific about what is going to be created.

On the Transformation Game  board, there's a Miracle Square, and when you land on it, you're instantly relieved of all your pain and can gracefully go forward to any step on your path that you choose.

Going forward as Consciousness, you have an infinite amount of Miracle Squares in front of you. And any step, in any direction, can effortlessly land you in a reality bigger than you can possible imagine.

Life for me now, is like a full immersion Transformation Game. Every morning is a new beginning. Every door a portal into a new reality.

Here's the thing, your mind wants directions, your mind wants a system. When you start to navigate as Consciousness, it will be VERY uncomfortable! It will throw up all sorts of thoughts to take you back to it's comfort zone, which is familiar but limiting.  Follow your heart, be intuitive, be spontaneous, and see what happens to you!

Are You Creating or Destroying?

This planet is a playground, an adventure in density and effort. It is here for us to experience physical reality in all it's glory.

The primary energies at play are creation and destruction.

If you look at nature, you see examples everywhere. Trees fall over in the forest and become hosts for new saplings. Waterfalls erode their rocky beds. Birds spread seeds, bees pollinate plants. And predators cull overpopulated prey.

Destruction is needed in nature. Forest fires release seedlings that otherwise would not grow. Volcanoes spewing lava create new islands. Destruction can actually be very creative.

It's a fundamental truth that if you want to create something in your life, you have to destroy something.

We have tremendous ethics around destruction. It's bad. When in reality, what may need to be destroyed in order to create, may be your limiting thinking.

Destruction feels like death, and in some ways it is. It may be death to an aspect of your identity. It may be death to a dream that wasn't even yours to begin with.

If you want to expand, you have to knock down a few walls.

The energy of destruction need not be violent. And it need not involve other people.

Often when someone wants to expand in their lives, they think they have to destroy their current relationships. They think others are holding them back.

When you release whatever is inside you that is holding you back, often people around you change. You've released the limiting pattern and the people in your life transform accordingly.

Sometimes you shift to a new level and friends fade away, with new friends showing up. You don't need to reject anyone, only those who match your new vibration are in your new reality.

People enmeshed in old paradigm power games don't understand the gentle grace of Consciousness. Consciousness is bringing expansion, always evolving with benevolent intent.

As greater Consciousness comes into this world, old ways are disintegrating. Those who are strongly identified with dominance and limitation are having a difficult time right now. To them it feels like *they* are dying. They are fearfully trying regain structures that no longer exist, that cannot be held in this new world.

If there is something you'd like to let go of, you don't have to 'burn bridges' or 'kill your darlings'. Focus on what you'd like instead, and watch your reality reorganize itself to accommodate your new desire.

The new way of Creating as Consciousness is very subtle yet very profound. As you shift your focus, it shifts your energy, and what no longer has your attention will disappear from your reality. And what focus on will manifest.

It doesn't have to be a perfect vision, in fact it often shows up more quickly when you focus on the feeling. When Creating as Consciousness it's helpful to have broad intentions.

When you're overly specific, you're often resisting what you don't have. Open-ended requests allow you to create more than you can possible imagine.

Play with this for the next week and see what happens!

Dirty Thoughts

This is still a powerful time for setting your intentions, creating your visions, and making choices to bring them into reality.  What kind of choices are you making?  From what space are you making them?

Manifesting through reality paradigms.  A fancy, schmancy way of saying, you can't paint with old oils (or watercolors).  Or an old paint brush!

You can set any number of intentions, make vision boards up the wazoo, recite affirmations until the cows come home, but if you remain in the same energy patterns, then you'll always create the same outcomes.

You can even 'do a geographic', move to another city, change your looks, change jobs, change friends, but if your core pictures don't reset, you'll stay the same.

It doesn't matter what seeds you plant, if they're going in cement and watered with vinegar, you're not going to grow anything.

What creates fertile soil?  What creates growth?

Do something different, anything different.  You can start with microsteps.  Drive a different route to work.  Wear a different color than you're used to wearing.

After you pour your morning coffee, set the timer to 5 minutes, put the phone or tablet down, close your eyes and breathe.  Listen to sounds.  Feel sensations in your body.

I know a couple who, after they moved to a different city to retire, spent a week using their non-dominant hands to do things, whether it was to pick up the coffee cup in the morning, hold the phone to their ear, open doors, etc.  It was a way of resetting their experience in a new environment.

Microsteps are great ways to create new habits.  Set the timer to 15 minutes and clear the clutter in your office.  Stop when the timer goes off, and move to a different room (unless you're on a roll, then stay where you are).

I know two different authors who prolifically write books by microstepping.  One works 30 minutes at a time regardless of her busy schedule.  One has multiple books going at once and writes on whichever one moves her at the moment.

You have to bypass your brain.  It was your stinking thinking that got you into a rut in the first place.  Dirty thoughts create a murky reality.

Haven't given an assignment for a while: For the next 7 days, make different choices every day.  And see what happens!
