Ah December. I didn't post at all! We moved to a new nest. What a job! I had grossly underestimated how difficult and tiring moving can be, especially with a boddler (my baby-toddler, who is almost 21 months). I love our new home. It is exactly what I had been dreaming of, even though I had no idea how I could have what I wanted. As usual, the Universe assembled all the details and now I am living out the manifestation of a dream I had- namely dishwasher, lots of space, new floors, fun neighborhood, and close to everything.
The manifesting process goes like this-
Ask. Allow. Receive.
We are so good at asking for what we want- we are experts of desire and yearning. Most of us have some experience in receiving, though I daresay lots of us could spiff things up in the feeling worthy to receive department. The real trick is that little allowing bit. The letting go and trusting it is all working out perfectly. That my friends, gets in the way of our dreams all the time, and don't we know it?
But think back to a time when something worked out great. Hmmm. A desire, an idea, a request. How you got out of your own way and just let things happen naturally. And then how it sprang into life, maybe so slowly that you didn't even notice it happening right under your nose.
I got my baby that way. I had come to grips with the idea I might not meet a partner for a long time and maybe not have a child because I am no spring chicken anymore, and we start to think about things like this in our mid 30's (or at least the media says we should). I decided to let go of the fear of the unknown and to adopt if necessary. Boom! What seems like a nanosecond later (a slight exaggeration perhaps), my little baby showed up. And while the story never goes exactly like we think it should, I do believe it reads even better with unknown adventures straight ahead.
Last detail- Gratitude. The great thing about gratitude is that we feel it when we have something wonderful in our lives and are appreciating and marveling at it (and on some level, it's all divine, pun intended!). When we are in a state of gratitude, we are allowing. You cannot be in gratitude and focused on something that hasn't come to fruition or lack at the same time. Essentially, we are creating all the time, and isn't that a powerful realization?
Well, I got off track here. I had no idea I would write about the process of manifesting, I thought I'd touch on December. But maybe it is all well and good, as December is over and I am here today, in front of the computer, writing while my daughter slumbers, drinking a fragrant cup of earl grey tea from a ceylon green mug. Life is good. Sending blessings to all!
