Many of my clients come to me wanting to manifest “stuff.”  It might be a shiny new car or that perfect guy or gal.  Or maybe they want a better job or to fit into a smaller clothing size.  And that’s great!  We all want to have more or better stuff, right?

But to really understand the Law of Attraction you have to understand that manifesting is not about  the nouns.  While the people, places and things we want are great, they’re not really the end goal.

Manifesting is about the adjectives. It’s about how we feel when we’re driving that shiny new car or walking arm in arm with that perfect person or working at our fantastic new job or shopping for those smaller clothes.  It’s about the sparkle in our eye, the giddy feeling that makes us tingle all over, and the shivers of delight that we experience when things work out perfectly.

In fact, it’s all about the feeling.  Which is why when you focus on how you want to feel instead of what you want you’ll hit a bulls eye every time!

So drop the nouns, pick up those adjectives and feeeel your way to manifesting success!

I was playing a video game last night (yup, I’m an occasional gamer) and it hit me that some of the “rules” I make up for the game are silly.  Like I have to go a certain route or do things a certain way in particular parts of the game.  When in reality there are probably more efficient ways to get things done.

And as I realized that it hit me that I also do the exact same thing in my life.  We all do.  For instance we make up rules that our money has to come from certain sources.  Or that we have to eat a certain way and take certain supplements and/or meds to be healthy.  Or that we have to be educated a certain way to be successful.  And so on.

Not that there’s anything wrong with this.  It’s feels good to have “rules” and routines that make life feel comfortable and safe.  The problem is when we start to believe that our “rules” are facts and that’s just the way life is.  Because once that happens we become trapped by our own selves.

And then we wonder why our manifesting projects aren’t working so well.

So after pondering this for a bit, I decided that maybe it’s time for a few re-writes.  Time to re-think some of my “rules” about life and see if they make sense or if it’s time to let them go.

I can write new rules.  Ones that better reflect who I am today and who I’m becoming tomorrow.  Rules that reflect life as I’m creating it rather than “what is.”  And I want you to consider doing it with me.  Look at your own rules.  See if they still make sense for you and if not….how about a re-write!

Oh and my first new rule: Nothing is written in stone and all rules are subject to change :)

Have you ever really felt ALIVE?

Like every cell of your body is fully engaged in the act of living?

Like you’re giddy with pleasure and excitement and you’re grinning so wide it’s amazing your teeth don’t fall out?

Like you’re at a loss for words and maybe even completely overcome with emotion?

Being ALIVE is exciting and terrifying at the same time.  It’s mentally and emotionally draining yet at the same time super energizing.  There are no words to adequately describe it but you know when you’re in that moment because the world just stops and you want to stay suspended there forever.

Some of the times I’ve felt truly ALIVE were when my daughter was born, when I started my first business from scratch, when I celebrate breakthroughs with clients, when I’m inspired to write, when I was in the finals in a math competition (yeah I was a nerd in school), the first time I rode a roller coaster, when I got my first Reiki Attunements, the first time I braved rapids in a canoe (ok they weren’t huge but I was like 13 and wow what a rush!), when I drove a car for the first time, when I finally got brave enough to do a back flip off the diving board…. are you getting the picture?

How about you?  When have you really felt ALIVE?  If you can remember even one time in your life that you felt this way then you’ve got a shortcut to manifesting success. When thinking about the thing you’re manifesting, simply recall that feeling of ALIVENESS and transfer it to your manifestation.  Really feel yourself being ALIVE as your manifestation appears. This pure positive energy sends a huge rocket of desire straight up to the Universe… and you know the rest :)

So I wanted to check in today with my blog readers to find out how your manifesting projects are going?  Having successes?  Stuck?  Need a little guidance or a few tips?

If you’re experiencing consistent, wonderful results with your manifesting projects then Woo Hoo….keep it up!!

But if not, then you may be missing out on a crucial component for manifesting success…. the inner aspects.

See here’s the thing.  To be truly successful in manifesting, not just every once in a while but on a daily basis, you have to change who you are. You have to literally morph into a new person with new attitudes, thoughts, and ways of being in your day to day life. This is the key to true transformation.

Sound scary?  It can be.  And confusing and frustrating if you don’t have a guide to help you.  That’s why I’m creating a new course all about these inner aspects.  Because I want to help you really transform your life in to something amazing!

I’ll be posting parts of the course in the newsletter as it develops.  So if you’re not on the list yet be sure to sign up here.  You won’t want to miss this information!

And also, I’d appreciate it if you’d post some of your Manifesting questions and concerns in the comments section below (or send me an e-mail if you’re a bit shy).  This course is for YOU and I want to make sure to cover the things that you want to know most.

Thanks so much for your ongoing support!
