Is it true that a smile makes the same sound as one hand clapping?

24 December 2007

Both conjure positive images.

I am writing this tomorrow - literally - because today was too beautiful to spend in front of a computer.

On that point, I never re-read my blogs, I'm afraid I will go back and change something I said. In the first few weeks I tweaked a bit, but after that I started to think it was dishonest. If I am growing through Project Palhaco, then of course I must outgrow what I have previously written. Change things... why? In search of perfection? Sheeesh.

This week, we begged and cajoled and husseled... because I needed - yeah, needed...hmm - to make this a success.

I pushed... I screamed... I swore... and what happened? Why, nothing, of course! After four days, with just two to go, I had pushed our donations from $4.00 to $8.00. Man, you want a fundraiser, just call me.

Can I talk a little about manifestation?

If you truly truly truly want something in your life, it IS possible to manifest it.

Manifestation generally follows this pathway:

  • First, be clear about what you want - DECIDE. Relax and hold this thought for maybe 60 seconds.

  • Ask the universe to send it to you.

  • Actually BELIEVE it's coming. Remember earlier where I said if you want to be confident - even when you are shaking in your boots - just act confident? And after a while, this becomes a habit, and you ARE confident. Now, believe it's coming and ACT as if it already did, or is on its way! Same thing!

  • Does this step work? Well, I just asked that ole universe to get off its ass and get me a BBQ. Then I started to organise everyone and everything as if the meat was already in the freezer! Remember where I rang the restaurant and asked them to store the food for me, in their freezer? LOL.

    Then I went right ahead and invited everyone, organised a full program around my non-existent food. Sure I was stressed for the the first day or two, UNTIL I finally said dammit, this ain't my job, it belongs to the cosmos... and I relaxed... and...

  • ...and uncovered the SECRET OF MANIFESTATION - enjoy it! enjoy the journey!

    • As soon as I relaxed, let go, simply accepted that yep! the meat will arrive - cows started falling out of the sky. Chickens, too...

    I had been my own worst enemy. I was, for a while, doubting, second-guessing, thinking up secondary strategies and emergency measures - until I was saved from myself because I simply ran out of time. What a fabulous lesson I gained: ask, accept, believe - and let it appear.

  • I guess it's like this:

    Mum, can I have a glass of water?

    Sure, honey.

    Now, you gonna stop killing them aliens on your screen and go get a glass of water.... or wait till ever-patient, ever-lovin' mommy brings it to you, and gives you a kiss on the head as well?

  • The secret is TRUST. You trust: you trust your Mum to bring you the glass of water. If she doesn't, you would be shocked, right? So... go right ahead and trust the universe...

    • I asked... I trusted... I received. [I'm quoting Julius Caesar, right?]

  • 10 steps to manifest exactly what you want.

    1. Keep the end in mind

    Why exactly do I want this? When it manifests, what exactly will it bring into my life? Be very clear on these points, because as you already know... be careful what you wish for, as that is what you will get.

    2. Identify what you want

    Be very specific, down to the smallest details. Know EXACTLY what it is you want. An example: don't intend "I want to be rich", but rather "I want one million dollars".

    3. Expect your dreams to come true

    Expect your intentions to manifest. Go even further, and live your day as if they are already on their way. Get things ready for them, live as if they are already here.

    4. Imagine it in the now

    Imagine how it feels to actually have what you are intending. Feel the emotion attached. Experience how you will feel when it arrives. See yourself driving the car, wearing the mink [did I say that?], donating $50,000 to the orphanage. This is CRUCIAL - imagine and feel it NOW.

    5. Be positive

    Keep your thinking positive. Don't focus on a lack of anything, in fact don't even acknowledge there is any lack. You attract your thoughts, so you sure don't want to attract a lack of anything into your life!.

    6. Stay focussed

    Keep the end in mind. Use tools such as setting goals, writing and repeating affirmations, visualization, gratitude journalizing, creative collage, and meditation.

    7. Let the Universe do its work

    Trust it will manifest, and it will. Don't try and double guess or out-think the universe. You have asked for it, it's on its way - so let it come.

    8. Dream big

    Something people have a lot of difficulty accepting is this: There is no difference between manifesting one dollar, and one million dollars. The universe expends the same amount of energy in each manifestation. So...

    9. Emotion

    Emotions charge our desires with energy. What you really hate so often crops up. Why? Because the emotion is so strong, summoning it. Feel the joy delight pleasure in getting what you want. Woohoo!

    10. Don't give up

    It takes time for our thoughts to manifest here in the physical realm.
