Stay away from the HOW

"You can expect any seemingly impossible Good...if you do not limit the channels."
-- Florence Scovel Shinn, The Secret Door To Success (1940)

Never, ever try to define how the thing, person, or experience that you seek to create or attract to you should arrive, appear, or manifest.

Doing this just delays the process.

As we've heard from many different teachers, the Universe is always responding to our desires. When we try to limit the Universe by defining "HOW" our desire will happen, we are simply delaying.

The Universe is very efficient.

Our job is to get out of the way and let it work for us. This is our birthright.

Did you get a sense of contraction or disappointment or even fear as you were reading the above words?

That could be because you are trying, like we all do, to control the process.

Here's a simple visualization that I use when I realize I am getting too controlling of how my manifestation is working itself out:

Imagine that you are holding onto a helium balloon.

This balloon is filled with all of your intention and desire. It has every piece of information about what you seek to manifest and attract to you.

If you hold on to the balloon, it will stay nearby and you can keep tabs on it. You can look at it, and think about it, and worry about it.

The problem is that nothing will ever happen if you keep holding on to it.

By releasing it to the sky, you are sending you desire and intention out to the Universe.

So, after you have clearly defined your intention, let go of your balloon send it to the Universe and let it go. Don't worry about how it will work it. Just let the Universe do its work for you.

Prepare the way and receive by giving thanks:
"Thank you for my new and wonderful Acura MDX."
"Thank you for my new perfect job."
"Thank you for my perfect clients."
"Thank you for all of the love that I give and receive in my new relationship."

Pay attention to the hunches, whispers, signs, and portents that the Universe will start sending your way. And take action immediately when you get a clear hunch.
