Winning the Lottery, Raising Young Kids, and Spouses Who don’t Believe in LOA

This weekend, I attended my first Abraham Hicks Workshop, and it was ABSOLUTELY EXHILARATING!  Esther and Abraham’s messages have really resonated with me, and I came across them about 1 year ago when I was looking for a solution to constantly picking up other people’s energy, which made me so tired by the end of the day.  (I’ll write more about that in another post 🙂 )

I was prepared to ask 3 questions. 

1. How do I manifest a lottery win (yes this is one of my manifestations), when I’m able to visualize and FEEL everything from chosing a financial advisor, opening up banks accounts, investing in philanthropy programs, to walking into the lottery office, to taking a picture with the check, but lose faith whenever I don’t have the winning ticket?
2. How do I stay aligned as a parent with 2 young children?
3. How to I share my wonderful experiences when my spouse does not acknowledge the Law of Attraction (even though he is a great, unconscious, manifester)?

The room was packed, and there were 1,500 people!! The energy was fun, light, filled with really good vibes! At the beginning of the workshop, Esther explained that if you have a question, even if you are not picked, Abraham will select someone who will have a question that most people in the room have. I didn’t raise my hand. And all 3 of my questions were answered, and then some!

Answer to question 1:

This all boils down to frequently asking from a place of not having the money. By regularly practicing being in alignment with your Higher Self, Source, Infinite Energy, God, just for the pleasure of being in alignment, throughout the day, ALLOWS you to FEEL larger than life and filled with abundance. You can do this by setting aside 5 – 15 mins a day of quiet time, meditation, or just breathing. (I personally enjoy playing in my head all the people, experiences, and things I am grateful for in my life. I occasionally listen to Chakra Suite by Steven Halpern at night. Do whatever it is that quiets your mind.)When you are comfortably able to be in this space, and it takes practice, then you emotionally FOCUS into the experience of you having the abundance of money. When you are aligned with your Higher Self, that’s your TRUE state of being, you’re secure, have EVERYTHING at your disposal, so you just have to chose how you’d like to see it expressed in your physical manifestation. This is where you have confidence and hold firm, CONSISTENT knowing, that will persist no matter what the  physical world presents, until the matching experience makes its way to you.  It’s from this space you ask for your desires, e.g. “It WILL be fun when I get my raise” or “It WILL be fun to meet a project manager who can help me”, etc. (This is where I would slow down the speed of manifestation, I would always “check” if I won the money, and get upset when I saw a “losing” ticket.)  Another way that surprisingly made a lot of sense to my logical mind, was an article I read by Bashar, where he states that there are soooooo many parallel realities for us that already exist, it’s just a matter of chosing which reality/experience we want to make more visible/tangible.  This comforted me to know, that all the possibility of experiences I’ve ever thought up, already exist, and all I have to do is focus on them, like focusing a camera lense to see a clear picture. With that said, I immediately felt that winning that lottery was a done deal, and all I have to do is purchase a ticket when the value reaches the number I’ve been requesting. Just like placing an order on Amazon and KNOWING that the item will come.  

Answer to question 2:  Only talk to your children when you’re in alignment. If you have a child who’s “strong willed”, or even gets aggressive, the best thing to do is see your child through the eyes of your Higher Self, and shower him/her with love. Whatever feelings your child stirs in you, it’s YOUR responsibility to address, not your child’s.  Abraham said practice when your child is sleeping, to remember how beautiful and how loving your child is, how beautiful his/her birth was, and enjoy how loving and peaceful your child is. It is from this space, you meditate in the morning that you will enjoy wonderful experiences with your child and that even when tantrums, meltdowns arise, there will be less, they will be manageable, but you will look at those moments with patience. If there’s a power struggle, at that moment is that argument that serious? Shrug your shoulders and let it go. He also said your Higher Self sees EVERYONE as an expression of Infinite Energy.  Kids teach us that sometimes we care more about the judgments of societal norms rather than just allowing him/her to just BE.

Answer to question 3:It’s not your concern what others are doing, including your family members, just focus on your vortex and your alignment. They will just enjoy the ride of wonderful manifestations!  So what if they understand the LOA or not. Your purpose on earth is to enjoy this playground of energy, co-create, manifest to your hearts desire and expand!  In your creating desires, you are expanding Infinite Energy 🙂

Have a great week!

Namaste 🙂

Slow Your Role Bully Brain!

I’m learning to deal with a bully in my life… my brain! Sometimes, it’s in the best mood, coming up with creative ideas, making the best decisions (raisins over skittles), and really enjoying life (living in the moment, not reliving the past or running through my list of future-things to-do)! Other times, it sabotages me with negative thoughts of can’ts/shouldn’ts.  Can you relate? This is where staying positive gets tricky. BUT BE PERSISTENT!  Staying in high vibration as much as possible allows the universe to continue to send you more fabulous experiences, people, and things.  Remember, like attracts like. 

The behaviorist in me is playing detective to determine when and why bully brain starts jibber-jabbering.  I’ve been tracking when my feelings of self-doubt, indecisiveness, and fear are the strongest. These feelings and thoughts come from the bully brain.  And I noticed (sadly), I hear negative thoughts the most after I’ve eaten way too much desert (sugar has a low vibrational frequency, therefore encouraging your cells to attract negative thoughts), if I’ve been sitting at the computer for HOURSSSSSS (no exercise = low vibrational energy level), or doing waaaaay too much in 1 day (rushing, worrying, or being anxious = low vibrational energy level).

  I was rushing driving to a lunch potluck, worrying about what people were going to think of me being late, and if they didn’t like the chips and dip I brought for the potluck, and should I have made some sort of casserole rather than buy something from the store, when I heard U2’s lyrics on the radio:

“… you’ve got to get yourself together, you got stuck in the moment, and you can’t get out of it.”  

I took this as a sign from the universe to mean SNAP OUT OF IT!!Slow your role bully brain!  The world will not end if I get to this get-2gether late! My co-workers will still enjoy working with me 🙂 And NO ONE will care whether I made the food or bought it. And just like that the bully brain shut up! It just stopped. I felt so accomplished in being able to do that! It’s in a moment like that, that you see how powerful and in control you truly are. No matter what bully brain is trying to make you believe, it’s always an inflation of your fears.  You always have the ability stop that negative monologue from continuing. I try to slow down, as much as I can, throughout as many moments of the day, as many times as I can remember to do so. Literally telling my bully brain to “Slow your role! Get back to the present moment!”

I have also found comfort in reminding myself in moments like that, that I am perfect 🙂 YOU ARE PERFECT 🙂 (Sometimes looking in the mirror helps take the seriousness of this arrogant statement and you can laugh with yourself!)  Just as all other natural entities, like the earth, sun, and stars are PERFECT.  We are all EXACTLY where we are meant to be in our lives. Seriously let that marinate… We are all EXACTLY where we are meant to be in our lives.

Activities of the day:

1. There’s a time for everything.  And when that time comes, be fully engaged and present with the activity. Do not let bully brain rob you of an opportunity to enjoy your present time.  When you’re eating (I love food!), be fully present and enjoy every bite!  When you’re working, enjoy what you are working on, at that moment. Worrying, being anxious, rushing are examples of living in the future rather than the present moment.  Slow down on the multi-tasking. You’re splitting your energy all over the place. This tells the Universe you have to do multiple things at once because you don’t have enough time (scarcity mind set).  Staying present = high vibrations!
2. Set aside some time everyday to schedule your list of things to-do onto your calendar. That’s the time to think about and plan your future.  Maybe you just start with working on your daily schedule. Once you’re comfortable doing that, then plan your weekly schedule. Then monthly. That way, you can ALWAYS tell bully brain and reassure your subconscious, “Don’t worry, I got this. I scheduled it on my calendar. :)”
3. Track when the Bully Brain is the most active. This way, you can prevent it from getting out of control by:

• COMPASSIONATELY (your soul and brain must co-exist peacefully 🙂 reminding yourself about how FABULOUS you ARE, thinking about your affirmations, and reminding yourself that you are EXACTLY where you are supposed to be.
• Reducing and eventually eliminating the behaviors/activities that promote negative vibrations. So for example, I am working on decreasing my sugar intake. And before I eat, I remind myself that bully brain might start yelling and dominating my thoughts, but that I can tell bully brain to chill and “slow your role” 🙂 These activities promote manifestation-attracting high vibrations:
  • You HAVE to move. EVERY DAY.  Walk away from your desk HOURLY.  I hate working out, the gym is boring to me and repetitive, and weights kick my butt LOL BUT I LOOOVE to dance! So, 2-3 times a week, the headphones go on and I transform into a Dancing QUEEN!! Music also helps when doing tedious chores like dishes, laundry, and cleaning/organizing. What kinds of movement activities do you LOVE to do? That gets you in a zone?? Exercise = high vibration.  Joy=high vibration.
  • You HAVE to make time for yourself. Everything else in your life is scheduled, why not you? This time should involve doing absolutely nothing but breathing. Use that as a time to marinate on all the wonderful experiences, people, and things the universe has gifted you so far.  Gratitude = ultimate vibration! Even if you start for 30 seconds, and progress to a few minutes. Or every time you transition from one place to another, from room to room, home to the bus or car, take a few seconds to breathe deeply and give yourself that space and time.  That raises your vibrational energy!! We get so caught up in doing, but the reality is manifestations come into our reality when we are simply being. And manifestations ALWAYS come when we least expect it, meaning when our minds are clear of thinking of the past or worrying about the future.
  • Drinking water and eating healthy foods. I’m sure you’ve heard this many times before, but it’s so true. You are what you eat.  Different foods have different vibrational energies.
    • Fill up a sports water bottle (at least 20 oz) with water and sip on it throughout your day. Replace juices and sodas with water! Liven up your water with thin slices of cucumber for a few days, then maybe thin slices of lemon the next couple of days.
    • Add 1 -2 fruits to your lunch, like a banana or orange.  Then add veggies to your dinners (broccoli is one of the best).  Some blogs I like to get recipes from:
      • Food Babe
      • Forks over Knives (Vegetarian recipes)

Sweet Dreams!
