Have you ever declared a HUGE goal or vision to the Universe only to feel disappointed when it doesn’t come to pass?
Okay so I know that’s probably a silly question because let’s face it, anyone who’s ever tried manifesting has probably hit an obstacle (or 10) when it comes to creating what they want. I know I have!
I remember years ago when I tried manifesting a first-class trip to the United States (it didn’t happen no matter how many vision boards I created and affirmations I chanted!).
Then there was the time I wanted nothing more than to hit my first $10k month in business (I arrived at about $8,000 and then nothing I did raised the amount!).
At first I thought it was because I was simply aiming too high or maybe dreaming too big but it wasn’t my goals or desires that were too big but my energy behind those desires that simply wasn’t aligned.
Every time I thought about that first-class trip or $10,000 month in my business, I felt stress and anxiety come up like a bad taste in my mouth.
After a little experimentation and trial and error, I found an incredibly effective, in-the-moment energetic correction that worked like a charm in allowing me to step into alignment.
Every time I thought about my big dream or desire, I purposefully tuned into my experience in the moment and asked myself this question:
What’s my energy behind it – drive or desire?
When I explored the energy and the corresponding sensations in my body I realized that when I felt “driven” or forced toward a goal, it came up as a “twisty” feeling in my stomach.
And when I felt a deep inspirational desire when I thought about something I wanted, it came up as a relaxing sensation in my chest, around my heart.
So every time I felt that distressful “driven” feeling, I applied tools like 1 Healing Breath to gently transmute anxiety into genuine inspiration and excitement.
And little by little, I’d get back into that delicious, aligned energy of genuine desire.
This simple practice turned out to be one of the biggest needle-movers in my journey to finally manifesting that first-class trip to Seattle and eventually arriving (and surpassing) the $10,000 month mark in my business.
When you’re in the energy of desire, excitement, and inspiration, you’re vibrating at a wonderfully high frequency (the Universe LOVES this energy!) and it keeps you in a state of effortless, joyful anticipation.
The energy of desire freely magnetizes unlimited positive possibilities.
But when you feel driven toward a goal or dream, you’re primarily feeling anxiety and fear about NOT getting what you want. This puts you in an energetic state of contraction and restriction that ultimately acts like a force field that repels what you want.
So I’m inviting you to think of a BIG goal or dream right now and ask yourself, “
what’s my energy behind it — drive or desire?”
If it’s drive, what can you do to switch to desire? Let your imagination go wild and allow yourself to experiment and explore fun, high-vibrational activities that lift your heart and spirit.
