Engage the Magic of the Universe: Ask
We’ve all seen it… Ask and ye shall receive.

I will be perfectly honest. For a very long time I didn’t/wouldn’t ask. Yup. You read that right.

Somewhere along my life’s journey I lost touch with that deeper part of myself. Do I blame it on low self-esteem or childhood up bringing?

No. I prefer to admit that I lost touch with my inner healer and on a subconscious level knew that if I did ‘ask’ then I’d have to be responsible and respond to the call.

I allowed my life to get in the way of participating in my soul’s journey. During which time I became a lost soul.

In 1999 I met my first Reiki teacher. It turns out that Tom has the hands of an angel. His gentle and giving spirit inspired me to move back to my healer self. Even after 10 years I can still remember the look on his face when I admitted that I never asked for anything. (Divine or otherwise) Needless to say, he was shocked.

And I came away from that conversation wondering just why it was that I had stopped asking. More years passed while I went through some life changes. (marriage, geographical, and illness<--more about this later)


Eventually, after much turmoil, I started asking the Divine for little things. Some answers weren’t surprising. Others…yowza!

So each day I began the relearning process. During this time I self-created many circumstances that would eventually lead me here to this moment. There has been a lot of study and some interaction with people the Universe sent my way.

And here’s something that I’ve learned…

There’s a twist on this sacred concept of asking the Divine for what we need.

When we don’t ask, we give our power of creation over to those around us that do their asking.

Stop and reread that.

Isn’t the power of personal creation important in that wonderful life we ALL want? Everything comes from our connection between our soul and its Creator.

Starting today, don’t abdicate the right to choose and create—Ask and it shall be given. The door is there. Open it.

Touch Your Own Soul
Sometimes the muse strikes at the strangest moments. When this happens it’s necessary to pay attention.

So when the voice of my Muse says “Touch your own soul.” My first reaction is sudden stillness. Then I ask “How do we do that?”

Each day we spend our life in hectic moments scrambling and juggling family, careers and those annoying situations like car problems, etc. In the midst of all this how do we ‘touch our own soul?’

Is it selfish to take moments of stillness with yourself?

No. The best way to give your family members and job the attention they require in order to thrive is that you take excellent care of yourself. I admit it took me many years to finally acknowledge this. ;o)

During those moments of self reflection when you spend time with yourself indulge in the gifts of love and gratitude.

Why?

They are awesome magnets set in place by the Divine to assist and teach us.

Feelings of love and gratitude bring more of the same into your life. This equals abundance in all phases of your life. More of the good things you seek.

These moments also bring you closer to your soul. Our souls know Love and Gratitude on a level of purity beyond the human mind.

So take a breather and do what sets you free. Take pictures. Enjoy a peaceful walk in nature. Pet your cat or dog. Explore new craft projects. Or meditate quietly. You get the idea.

Here’s my angle:

When you are in the midst of your chosen activity or meditative stillness tap the center of your forehead and plant the memory within your mind. Say ‘Thank you’ to the Creator and Your soul for the experience. Then focus and feel a loving hug around your heart.

The combined action allows you to touch your soul.

Is it worth it? Absolutely. The loving feelings you will experience send positive vibrations out to the Universe. They will come back to you multiplied.

You can find these teachings in many places online or at your local library. That’s okay. Dr. Michael B. Beckwith (The Secret & other great places) tells us, “Remember to remember.”

Each time you read these words of wisdom as presented here on my humble blog the Universe is sending the message for you to pause, be mindful of your thoughts and remember the Love and Gratitude that surrounds you.

Blessings Always. May Abundance greet You with an ocean wide smile.

How to Ask & Ye Shall Receive
Joe Vitale has built a reputation of attracting what you want from the Universe by beginning within yourself. The interview behind the first tab above intrigued me. I will elaborate, but first I want to mention that it will be available here on this site only until August 22nd.

The art of attracting from Vitale’s point of view begins by changing the questions you ask the Universe. He goes on to explain once you understand the negative aspects of your previous questions and flip them to a more positive query, then your answers will come to you sooner and with much more clarity.

Several times I have experienced this and I must say that it has worked to my benefit. Sometimes this happens with ease—other times it may take awhile to materialize my answers.

That’s my biggest question. If time is not a factor for the Universe, then what about those questions and actions that appear to fall by the wayside because so much time has passed since the initial question was invoked?

Should we just forget about them?

Be faithful to yourself. An act of faith means stepping forward even when we don’t know the outcome of our actions. This can frequently be difficult. At least it is for me. So, in the waiting period, we seek more answers and learn new questions.

That is if we aren’t stuck on old thought forms and questions. You know what I mean… The voice in your head that tells you that you aren’t supposed to succeed, be abundant or deserve the love of your life. There’s no space here in this short article for any negativity.

Sweep it away out the door—not under the rug. Perhaps you prefer to burn your negative thoughts and questions in cleansing flames. Whatever works for you—just do it.

Vitale would call such actions clearing away old belief systems. I say ‘well said.’

The only way you can change the questions you ask the Universe is to clean your inner house. (Heart/Mind/Spirit/Soul) No one ever really gives a specific manner in which this can be accomplished.

I think that’s because it must be individualized by the person themselves. (Hey, it’s that whole going within—no one else can do it for you.)

Don’t panic. This is a good thing. Clearing the things out of your life that no longer serve you is extremely liberating. You will gain a new freedom and open the places in your heart and mind to allow the new growth to come in.

It’s like hanging a ‘Welcome’ sign. The Universe will step in and give you so much more.

So take a little time and click through to Joe Vitale’s interview presented by Bill Harris. Delve into their questions and rearrange yours. What have you got to lose? Nothing but a bit of time—something not relevant to the Universe’s scheme of things.

But here’s the important thing—while you’re in there you might even pick up a few pointers about sharing what you know with the world. Go for it.


Blessings Always. May Abundance greet you with an ocean wide smile.
