Reminder

Give up all expectations. Just know that you’re in the flow, that things are working out for you, that it is a friendly universe. Let the universe fill in the details of your dream life here and now, not somewhere in the future when the manifestation comes. Breathe into your now-perfect reality, your now-perfect dream life. Release resistance and be present by meditating. And then follow the breadcrumbs, be brave, trust! Be you, love you, adore you, please yourself, find your joy. Give up expectations and live your perfect life NOW! ♥♥♥

LOA Exercises by Emotion

If you’re familiar with the emotional ladder, you know the goal is to move yourself from one emotional rung to the next until you reach that place where you’re feeling really amazing.

But how do you move yourself from one rung to the next? How do you deliberately alter your own emotions when we have been taught all our lives that we have no control of them?

Here I have a list of techniques that you can use to move yourself to a better feeling emotion. Remember as you’re using techniques that you have to find what works for you and what moves you emotionally. If it doesn’t work for you, throw it out! I’ve also linked instructions for each technique. Enjoy!

LOA Pro Tip: Practice the Feeling

If the key to manifesting your desire is literally feeling it into being, then your job is to take time out of each day to practice the feeling of what you want.

But first things first, check your rearview and side mirror: Have you identified what you want, as a feeling? Have you released any immediate resistance or beliefs that don't align with what you want to manifest?

Awesome! Now comes the fun part:

As often as possible, practice putting yourself in a place where you are FEELING the reality of your desire. Whether you're visualizing or daydreaming or writing - whatever technique works for you - you should be enjoying, relishing and celebrating that what you want has already happened.

I hope this helps you on your journey! For some of my favorite techniques, check out Daily LOA. Feel free to add any questions or comments and for more LOA goodness, visit us on Wordpress.

LOA Pro Tip: The Happy Button

It’s easy to overthink the law of attraction. With all the different techniques and teachers and advice, it can seem like a never-ending process. But if there is one thing you take away from all of this, it should be that you have complete control over the way you feel. 

You have a “happy button” that you can press whenever you want. Just think about being happy, imagine being happy and you’re there! This is all it takes to get everything you want - decide you’re going to be happy. Insist upon it and watch how the universe delivers to you things you want before you even know you want them.

It really is that simple because the universe can only reflect back to you what you’re radiating. As you radiate love and ease, the universe delivers to you forms of love (i.e. what you desire, what feels good to you, etc.) in an easy way! And vice verse, the harder you are on yourself about doing this work, the more the universe will demonstrate how hard it is. So even the process itself is within your control. 

So what’re you waiting for? Press that happy button. Smile for no reason!

-ZenDannie

[mindfulmanifesting]

Since reading a book that taught Helene Hadsell to “know what you want and see yourself as already having it”, she has won seven trips to Europe, a house and several cars. She talks about how to manifest physical things by using a formula called SPEC: Select it, Project it, Expect it, Collect it.

Meditation 101

Creating a practice of mindfulness often requires going back to basics and cultivating a beginner’s mind. So whether it's your first time meditating or just a refresher, read on for meditation 101:

Get comfy. 

Sit or lie down in a way that feels good to you, but not so good that you'll fall asleep. You can close your eyes or leave them open. You can gently sway back and forth or side to side as you meditate or you can sit completely still. You can place your hands in any manner you wish. Adjust until your body feels good to you.

Set a timer. 

You don't want to be sitting there wondering how long it's been and when it's time to stop. Let the timer tell you. I recommend using an app like Zenso, which has bell and bowl chimes, as well as an interval timer. 10-15 minutes is usually enough to settle the mind and enter into a new space. I recommend sitting for at least 5 minutes a day and sitting for a longer, 20-30 minute session once a week. 

Choose an anchor. 

Now it's time to train your focus. Pick something to focus on - your breath, a mantra, a visualization, a feeling. Choose an anchor that you can keep coming back to. I like to imagine my breath as a closing door - on each inhale, the door swings inward, on each exhale, the door swings outward.

Focus. 

Your mind will wander. You will think all sorts of things and want to get up and go do something else. When you notice you've stopped focusing, release the thoughts like little balloons and bring your attention back to your anchor. If you can't quite release the thought, step outside and watch the thought instead, observing only as consciousness. Do this as many times as necessary until the timer rings.

Don't judge. 

There is no true purpose for sitting other than to sit. There is no right or wrong way to meditate and no measure for how successful or unsuccessful your meditation is. The point is to sit and watch what happens, every day.

I hope these steps help you enjoy your meditation practice! Feel free to comment with any meditation questions or tips of your own! For more LOA goodness, visit us on Wordpress.

Money Challenge #3: Building Momentum

Hey fellow manifesters!! This week we’re going to focus on five techniques I’ve found extremely effective for aligning with the vibration of infinite riches. Now that you’ve started dreaming big and you’ve released all those crappy beliefs, you’re ready to build momentum and get excited for your riches!!

Your challenge this week is to imagine that you are rich: you’ve won the lottery, you’ve inherited millions from an unknown relative, you’ve suddenly discovered you have a trust fund, a rich stranger has decided to pay your way in life, or maybe you’ve won a contest! The only thing is, it won’t be here for 30 days. Read on for five ways to get excited and start figuring out what you’re gonna do with all this cash!

1. Go shopping - like an LOA pro

This is a great technique I’ve been using recently: go shopping anywhere you’d like and pretend you are allowing yourself to buy anything today. Really look at everything you want to look at, shop for anything you want to shop for, deprive yourself of nothing. If you find something you actually want to buy, place your hand on the object and then let yourself own it - in your mind experience the way it feels to own this object, to play with it, to put it to use, to love it. Now release it, smile because you own it and walk away! It was all the pleasure of buying something without the paying and waiting to play with it.

2. Universal Deposits

In this exercise you simply write yourself a check every day and try to find ways to spend the entire thing. Every day your stipend increases. If you’d rather not do all the math, this fabulous website will send you weekly deposit emails.

3. Reverse the Sign

This is a simple mental exercise that I like to use. Whenever you go to pay for something -groceries or a meal or a bill - instead of imagining that money being removed from your bank account, imagine it being deposited into your account.

4. Shop for your new home

Another great technique I use regularly. I like to look in different cities and neighborhoods, look at different architectural styles and interior design options. When you’re rich you’ll thank yourself for having done the research.

5. Plan your future vacations

This is another awesome exercise that I absolutely adore. It really gets you thinking about where you’d like to travel and what you’d like to experience.

As you go through these exercises, try to keep in mind the truth about money: there’s always enough and it’s just for us to have fun with. As you use these processes you may find that you need to refer back to the previous challenges. That is normal - aligning with your desires is a continual process as you find/release resistance and as your dreams grow with you. I encourage you to use these techniques regularly and really prepare yourself for your new life. You’re going to love it!!!

Daily LOA 101

In yesterday's post, we talked about how practicing feeling better every day is a vital part of stabilizing your vibration. So today, I wanted to share the practice that I use every day. You can use whatever techniques feel good to you - there is no right way to do this work. What matters is that you are committed to feeling good.

Daily Activities

Meditation: I try to meditate every day but I'm very loose with myself. I do whatever kind of meditating feels good and if it doesn't feel good, I don't do it at all. I usually meditate after doing yoga or in bed while listening to delta/theta waves. I recommend meditating for 10-15 minutes, as that gives your mind enough time to stop jabbering and allows you to find a stable place.

LOA Study: For this activity, you'll want to find some LOA resource that you can review every morning. This doesn't have to take long - between 10 - 15 minutes at the most. I do this just to keep my head in the game, to keep myself from stagnating and forgetting the principles. Learning the law of attraction is like learning a new language - you have to do it everyday. I recommend listening to Abraham Hicks videos on youtube, reading an article by Melody Fletcher (she's my fave) or any other resource that you find helpful.

Creative Workshop: This is one that Abraham speaks about in their books and one that I LOVE! It's definitely the activity I look forward to the most. What you do is just find a way to creatively design your life. There are a dozen ways you can approach this. I use Pinterest to find images that represent my perfect life to me, I take time to plan vacations and projects that I'm aligning with, or I just write out aspects of my perfect life.

Appreciation: This is a MUST. All the momentum that has led me here started with an appreciation list. I keep a daily list of 40-50 things I loved about my day, things I appreciated, things I was grateful for, things I manifested. I recommend starting it in the morning and ending your list at night. It's lovely to look back on every day and see how many awesome things happened!

Read Everyday: I keep a "read everyday" list of the statements I'm currently aligning with. For example, I live a charmed life full of adventure, love, luxury, creativity and the most rewarding work possible. Reading these statements really emphasizes the mindset that you are what you desire.

Magic List: This is the last list, I promise! I keep a list of things I consider magical and meditate on each one for around half a minute when I really need to give my vibes an extra, super-charged boost. The list can be made up of anything that you just freakin' adore, anything that gives you a warm fuzzy feeling or a feeling of awe. I love to think about the universe, flowers and red pandas.

Worksheet

For the worksheet portion, you really need to go all in. You need to be completely honest with yourself about what you want and what feels good.

Date: You want to know what day it is, right?

Weekly Focus: The law of attraction is so damn vast and so simple at the same time that I like to have one thing I'm focused on each week. It can be anything that you want - one week I focused on imaging a wonderful future for the world, this week I'm focusing on getting in the vortex before ANYTHING else. My weekly focus is usually something that I'd like to make a habit. Then I write down what my focus is everyday and review how it's going and what techniques I'm using.

I want...You figure out how: Ah, this one is so awesome. For this exercise you just lay it all out there, tell the universe what you REALLY want. Then release all responsibility for it by telling the universe, hey - you figure out the details. You got my order, now fulfill. I use this exercise to write down anything I'm not really aligned with but that I've realized I WANT to align with.

You deal with...: This one is also awesome. This is another version of Abraham's "universal manager". You basically tell the universe or your higher self what you'd really rather not deal with today and release control of it. It feeling amazing to do this and works out every time!

I love (getting, having, receiving, experiencing, knowing): Now we start to beat the drum of what we love. Write down as many as you can of things you just LOVE. This is something you should really do throughout your entire day as it's the single most useful technique in all of the law of attraction. If you just talk about what you love, you would see miracles. As Rumi says, love is the bridge between you and everything.

I am (affirmations): Affirmations aren't for everyone but I like to use them. I always put the statement in the form of "I AM" to cement in my mind that I already am what I desire. I like to use statements like "I am a source of infinite creativity, inspiration and clarity" or "I am connected to a source of infinite money" but I recommend tweaking your affirmations until they feel really good to you.

I am expecting: This one is really helpful if you tend to find your vibration dipping at certain points in the day. I always find out here if I'm actively expecting anything negative for my day and that gives me an opportunity to turn it around and expect awesomeness!

Visualization (optional): For anything you're actively manifesting, it's always helpful to visualize - not only to work out the kinks in your vibration, but to get excited and get those good-feelings going!!

Best version of today/this week/this month: I love this exercise. I just pretend that I'm on the other side of my day or week or month and I tell a story about how AMAZING it was and all the great things that happened.

Thank you for: Always good to end with gratitude. I write down things I'm grateful for and give thanks in advance for what I'm still aligning with.

This is just my personal practice - you should take what you like and throw out what you don't, building your own practice on daily based on what feels good. At the end of the day there is no right way to feel good! I hope you enjoyed reading and feel free to leave a comment about your own daily practice!

Stabilizing Your Vibration 101

As we begin to shed old beliefs and deliberately train our energies, it can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. You might be flying high in the morning but feel like shit before lunch. This is normal, even for those who have been practicing the law of attraction for years. Contrast is normal and necessary; the trick is to not only learn how to get back into the vortex quickly, but how to stay in it for longer. Here are seven ways you can stabilize your vibration and keep your balance: 

1. Ignore everyone else.

Many people, especially empaths, pride themselves on their ability to help others. But if you’re helping/empathizing at the expense of your own vibration, the time to stop is NOW. The only way you can truly help another person is to be stable in your own, high vibration. They will then have two choices - they can either leave your experience or they can rise to your level.

2. Practice everyday.

Deliberately work your way into the vortex every single day. Since starting a consistent, daily practice I am in the vortex more than I thought was possible. Find a routine or exercise that works for you - whether it is LOA exercises, looking at funny cat videos or dancing around in your underwear. Do whatever you have to, as early as possible, to get yourself to that tingly happy place!

3. Meditate.

Do not underestimate the power of ten minutes. Those few minutes where you let your crazy thoughts actually go crazy while you just sit still in the middle of them creates a quiet, stable place in your mind that can over-ride even the most unruly thoughts.

4. Get outside.

Connecting with the earth is guaranteed to stabilize your vibration. Being outside in the natural rhythm of the earth feels almost magical in its ability to calm and center and empower. I love to collect rocks from the forest and keep them with me, drawing a little bit of “earth energy” from them when I need.

5. Be Alone.

It’s important to take time out of every day and a large chunk of time every week to be alone in your own energy. Committing to this kind of practice will familiarize you with you. When you deprive yourself of the energies of all others, you learn how you actually feel and what you actually want. Being in your own truth can be difficult when we are surrounded by so many different energies but we must spend time in our truth so that we can live it more frequently.

6. Move.

Movement is so powerful.  As we flow through a yoga practice or take a stroll our energy begins to flow. Things that became stuck or stiff during the day are loosened and relax. By moving our bodies we can release pent-up energy before it becomes a problem. Every day after work I do a short yoga practice to release any tension from work and refocus myself on my real work - being happy.

7. Be determined.

Feeling good needs to be your number one priority. Every day you should wake up determined to feel good, just because it feels good. And in your mind you should know that by getting into the vortex first, you are accomplishing everything you need to accomplish. You are moving mountains in the 20 minutes a morning you spend working on deliberately feeling good.

LOA Pro Tip: Getting Unstuck

Feeling stuck or in a rut? It’s common to hit a plateau when practicing energy work, especially right before you reach another “level”. Here are my top three tips for getting energy flowing and finding that movement again: 

1. Realize that the answers are all around you. 

Remember, the path is directly available to you. Recognize that the reason you are not aware of the answers is because you can’t see them from this perspective. It’s the difference between being in a maze and seeing one from a helicopter. The path out is clear, you just can’t see it. Remember that the sooner you find your way into the vortex, the sooner you give up and let everything be easy, the sooner your consciousness will rise. It may help to imagine a time when life was flowing freely and try to embody that feeling. Or, you can simply ask the Universe to send you clarity, to help you feel better now. From within the vortex, the way forward will become clear. 

2. Get up and move.

If you can’t convince yourself to relax and let go, try physically moving. Flow through a yoga routine, dance around, go for a walk. Physically moving can release your resistance simply through directing your attention into your body and into the moment. Bonus points if you can get some movement while in nature. Being connected to the earth will making energy movement even easier. 

3. Go over the deep-end.

If nothing seems to budge, it may be time to let yourself go over the deep-end. Often being stuck is the result of oppressing emotions and resistance that your higher-self is asking you to release so that you can reach the next “level”. Whatever the emotion is, surrender to it. Feel it completely until you feel relief. When you feel relief, turn the momentum around as quickly as possible by finding your way into the vortex. From there, you may want to identify any beliefs that are triggering you and release them. See the Socratic Method for how to change your old beliefs and release resistance.
