Have you ever lost something that you wanted to get back? How about something that had valuable and important information such as your contacts and phone numbers? The feeling of misplacing your wallet, house keys or cellphone is an unsettling idea, until you realize that you can get it all back instantly without having to search for it! If you have ever lost something or currently have something lost then you will definitely want to continue reading.

One day a client of mine recently lost her cell phone after realizing that she left it at work. When I first talked to her she was distraught, upset and blaming herself for being so careless. She believed that she knew where she left her phone but wasn’t completely sure that it would still be there. What was even more disturbing for her was in realizing that this was the second time in less than 6 months that she had completely lost her phone!

The last time that she lost her phone she went back looking for it and managed to come across a man who recognized her passing by from the her picture on her cellphone and came out of the restaurant to give it back! Well that was then and this was now, and what’s interesting to note is that even though she had a history of being able to miraculously manifest her cell phone back the first time, her mind’s “default” tendency was still to worry, judge and blame. The mind created all this drama and despair despite the fact that the evidence from her last experience would suggest that she shouldn’t worry.

Remembering that we had worked through the previous manifestation challenge on a lost item together I gently redirected her to her previous experience in order to build confidence in her ability. From a higher state of focus and confidence I then told her to apply the exact same principals that she learned to get her phone back the first time. Committed to getting her phone back she took the advice to heart and immediately began focusing on what she did want. She pictured herself with a great big smile leaving the hospital about to make a phone call.

Once she had a clear and vivid picture of the end result in mind, she took off towards her place of work to search for her phone. She immediately checked the place that she thought it would be and to her disappointment it just wasn’t there. Not to be disheartened she kept looking and eventually found herself at the security desk. The security officer just smiled as she routed through the lost and found, as if knowing that she would find what she was looking for. In a matter of moments my client was re-united with her cell phone and calling me to tell me it worked!

If you have ever lost anything that you want back the first step is to let go of it. This is a hard step to do because if you wanted it in the first place how can you just let it go so easy. However, you may have heard the saying “If you love something set it free, if it comes back to you, it was truly meant to be”. This quote is very appropriate to the process of manifesting and is the hardest for most people to grasp. The main goal to keep in mind is to have a mind that has the highest intentions with the least expectations. When we put our mental state into this zone we experience the effortless manifestation of our dreams and desires.

What would you like to manifest more of in your life? If you are unsure of this answer then the next best question to ask yourself is… What would you like to manifest less of in your life. Don’t be afraid to start with things you don’t want in order to help you get more clear on what you do want. When you are clear about your end vision, and act with faith towards that vision the Universe can do nothing else but supply you with what you desire. Try to attract something small today by using the tips in this article and see what you can immediately manifesting.



Manifesting Police Leniency

You are manifesting 24/7, 365 days a year whether you want to or not. You are manifesting 24/7, 365 days a year whether you believe it or not. You are attracting to you, by effort of your dominant thoughts, the situations and circumstances of your life, good, bad or indifferent. Many people view manifestation as something they are responsible for in good times only. What this means is that if there is a favorable outcome, then people tend to take responsibility for it, versus when the outcome is less desirable, then all of a sudden they forget who is in charge of manifesting.

When good things happen we like to take credit, but when things go wrong we are often tempted to dodge our accountability. Take for instance a recent trip I made to my mothers to pick up some things. After leaving my mothers and heading home I noticed that a lot of police vehicles were on the road. In two seperate instances I witnessed the police utilize u-turns to chase down their culprits. It made me think to myself “wow, the boy’s in blue are sure out in full force tonight!” as I continued the 35-minute drive home.

Just as I reached the half-way point I came across a very hard driving decision. I was doing about 10-15km over the posted speed limit when the light about 200 yards in front of me turned yellow. Being caught in one of those “grey” areas, one that doesn’t offer a clear cut solution, I was forced to decide whether to run the light or slam on my brakes and potentially skid through the intersection. Considering that it was very late at night and the limited number of vehicles on the road I decided to speed up and try and make the light before it turned completely red.

As I cruised through the intersection I thankfully noted that there were no vehicles and it helped me feel like I made the right decision. I continued on my route for another few minutes until I was distracted by the horn and siren of a police car in my rear-view mirror. I immediately pulled over to allow the vehicle to pass me but when they didn’t go around me I knew it was I whom they wanted. I pulled over at the next intersection, shut off the lights and turned off the car.

Two officers approached the vehicle and the first officer asked me where I was going and where I was coming from.  I replied to him that I was heading home from visiting my moms. He then asked the inevitable question “do you know why I pulled you over tonight?” upon which I replied “I have no idea”, which is recommended to everyone in such a situation. I think the only reason the cops ask you that question right up front is to allow you the opportunity to implicate yourself on charges that they weren’t yet aware of. Despite my apparent cluelessness, the officer very kindly reminded me that I had run a red light and that he had to speed (130km) just to catch up to me.

Uh oh… when you talk about manifestating something that you don’t want to take responsibility for this was definitely one of those not so good positions to be in. Afterall, who really consciously or deliberately admits to manifesting police officers to pull them over. Yet by the fact that this was what I was experiencing, it must be true. I wasn’t really aware of my “led foot” but since I was experiencing this reality I figured I must have been doing at least ”something” to get their attention. Then I thought back to all the police cars that I seen on the way home, and wondered if it was my thinking about the cops that had actually gotten me pulled over.

I patiently sat in my car as the officer took my drivers license and registration information and went back to his vehicle. At this point I was resisting the desire to get upset with myself for speeding and running the light, and thankfully was able to center myself in the feeling of allowance, just being with the situation. At first I wanted to get angry at myself, then I wanted to get angry at the police, then I realized that this situation was all perfect, and that everything and everyone was on purpose. What happened the moment I truly let go of the situation was something I will not soon forget.

All of a sudden the officer came back up to my car and handed me my drivers licence and registration back, along with… not a single ticket, and instead a few words of wisdom and advice. The officer had decided to exercise lenience in this occasion and told me to keep the speed down and watch out for red lights. Wow… I couldn’t believe it! Somehow after letting go of the fact that I was about to get a ticket somehow the sitaution reversed itself for the better.

I really must applaud the officer for exercising his right to be lenient. The officer clearly had the right to write up a traffic voilation but opted to use leniency instead to enforce his point. I’m unsure about the exact reasons why the officer decided to do that, but I truly believe that it had to do with my letting go. I truly believe that had I fought the fact that I was pulled over from the beggining I would have walked away with at least two tickets.

In situations where you attract something in your life that is not truly desireable the trick is to be present with it and not allow it to affect the decisions you make in the moment. The more you can “just be” with any feeling, place, person or situation that you manifest, the better position you put yourself in to create a solution or to move forward from that point. Manifestation happens, sometimes for the better, other times for the seemingly worse. The more that you “own up to” all the things you attract in your life the more power you weld over the manifestations in your world.
