Check Out TheManifest-Station.com

A new website had it's big relaunch a couple of days ago on Nov. 18, 2009. TheManifest-Station.com was created as a free spiritual resource that features some of the world's leading visionaries, including Neale Donald Walsch, Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Deepak Chopra and many more. Here you can network with like-minded people and have access to life changing and thought provoking videos, articles, movies, seminars and workshops. I joined a few days ago and look forward to all the new spiritual knowledge and networking opportunities this site will provide.

I recently finished book 1 in the "Conversations With God" series by Neale Donald Walsch. I loved it and am currently reading book 2. To say it is thought provoking would be putting it mildly. For me it is mind expanding and causes you to look at many things in life from a completely different perspective. Looking at something from different angles, different perspectives, helps to build a better understanding. I am so grateful everyday for any new spiritual knowledge that I attract into my experience because right now the challenges just keep coming.

I'm off now to explore more of TheManifest-Station. After that, I'll absorb more conversation between God and Neale. This is my Friday night.

Namaste,
Michelle

Manifestation, The Result Of A Focused Desire

I just began reading the first book in the "Conversations With God" series by Neale Donald Walsch. I love what my seeking of the truth is attracting into my experience, whether I make a trip to the library, the bookstore or searching on the Internet. God/Source/The Universe is bringing me everything I'm searching for and this journey of knowledge, of remembering Who I Really Am is so exhilarating, so absolutely awesome, its hard to put into words. I can finally think about life and get excited, get enthusiastic again, even in one of the most challenging times of my life. I am so grateful to God and to the wonderful souls (both physical and non-physical) who are out there brave enough to share this truth with the world, with those who are seeking it, despite the resistance and criticism from people too afraid to open their minds and hearts to other possible paths to God.

I also was able to witness first hand this week, the amazing results of a manifested desire. For the past couple of months, my 11 year old daughter has been badgering me for a new pet. It's not like she doesn't have any. Currently we have 2 cats, 2 Chihuahua's, 1 Lab mix, a turtle and a toad. I've been telling my daughter no, absolutely no more animals because we will be moving from a house to an apartment in a few months, not to mention becoming a single parent. As it is, I will be narrowing this pack down by giving up 2 of the dogs. However, none of this had much of an impact on my daughter's desire for another creature to share our home. She just kept on about it, even offering to pay with birthday and allowance money. Still the answer was no. She even went so far as to write a note about getting a new pet and leaving it under a rock in our yard, a secret wish to any fairies possibly living nearby that could help grant her wish. The note vanished, mysteriously (no, not by me.)

A few days ago, I heard my daughter's father pull up in the driveway, so I went outside to ask him something. He was just getting out of his car. As I was talking to him, something caught my eye. I looked past him and sitting on the roof of his car was a small, bright green, parrot-looking bird.

At first I thought it was a fake bird he had stuck to the top of his car for some reason. I was about to ask why he had this thing on his car when it moved and I realized this was a real bird! He quickly took a picture of it. I think we were both expecting it to fly away. But as we got closer, it was obvious that the bird could only fly in short spurts and seemed to be lost, looking for and wanting help from us.

My daughter and I were able to lure the bird into a cardboard box using a piece of bread. Now what? I knew none of my close neighbors had a bird. I knew I couldn't keep this bird in a box for very long. So we went to the local Petsmart for advice and supplies.

Turns out we've adopted an African Lovebird. So far no one has come looking and there have been no flyers or posters around the neighborhood for a lost bird. Even if he is an escaped pet, the fact that he showed up in our yard, just feet away from where my daughter left her note, is nothing short of miraculous. I've lived here for 10 years and have never seen or heard of a bird like this living around here. And where was it before landing on top of the car which had just pulled up? No idea. I just know that this time last week, I could not have imagined there would be a birdcage sitting in my livingroom! I guess I underestimated the power of an 11 year old's thoughts.

Seeing The World Through The Eyes Of Source

Today was one of those absolutely perfect days. After a week of volatile, windy weather and a 30 degree plunge in temperature, the weather today was a refreshing change of beautiful fall sunshine filtering through quiet, still air. I sat outside this afternoon, absorbing the wonderful warm energy of the sun, reading Abraham and listening to the sounds of neighborhood kids laughing as they played. My best friend Sweetpea, (the small black and white Chihuahua pictured in the post below) was laying in the yard under our big tree, enjoying the beautiful day with me.

Her cute little nose was busily sniffing the delicious smells silently and invisibly flowing through the atmosphere. I had a moment to reflect on those odors, which were otherwise non existent to my human senses, that she seemed to be so thoroughly enjoying. I only became aware of these odors by observing my dog's twitching nose. And it suddenly made me realize our reality is based on those vibrations that we are able to observe with our physical senses through seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting. But there is so much more going on around us that our human senses miss.

As I was thinking about how much of the world going on around us there really is that we're not aware of because its "under the radar" of what our human bodies are capable of interpreting, I was struck by what I was reading from Abraham. It was about being in a state of appreciation. Being totally tuned in, tapped in and turned on. When you're observing things in a state of appreciation, you're seeing the world through the eyes of Source. It's finding the alignment with you're Inner Being, which is the part of you directly connected with Source, the part of you that is Source.

When you see things in a state of appreciation, you become more aware, more tuned in to whatever you're experiencing. I realized why everything seemed so crisp, so wonderful, so alive about the world I was experiencing in my front yard today. I was appreciating the life giving energy of our sun, energy that sustains every living cell on this planet. I was appreciating the air I was breathing into my lungs, how clean it smelled. I was appreciating how still the air itself was, one of those rare moments when there is not even the slightest hint of a breeze. I was appreciating how clearly sound vibrations travel through such still air. And looking at one of the cutest creatures on Earth, lounging under a beautiful Mulberry tree, I appreciated the amazing sensitivity of a dog's nose, which had made me aware of everything else around me that I couldn't see, hear, touch, taste or smell but exists, nonetheless.

The Amazing Results Of Aligning With Source Energy

There is an amazing example of someone who has really mastered the Art of Allowing, a person who truly seems to be in complete alignment with Source energy and often speaks about manifestation to the people he's trying to help. I'm talking about Ceasar Milan, "The Dog Whisperer." If you follow the teachings of Abraham, I highly recommend watching this show which is on every Friday on the National Geographic Channel.

If you've never seen the show, this man, Ceasar Milan, travels around the country helping dog owners with their pet's behavior problems. He has an amazing connection with dogs because he completely understands dog psychology and how these animals sense and use energy to communicate and how different energy results in different behaviors. In pretty much all of the cases, its the humans that are screwing up the dogs. So Ceasar comes in to rehabilitate the dogs and to train the humans to use the correct energy to communicate and interact with their pets. The key to everything he does is energy.

Ceasar teaches people to live in the now. Don't dwell on the past, don't worry about incidents that happened in the past, stay focused on the present and what is happening right now. He often tells people to manifest how they want their home lives with their pets to be, to manifest the kind of behavior they want from their animals. In any situation, Ceasar remains calm and relaxed. He stresses to use calm, assertive energy at all times. In other words, he is always ok with where he's at. That is key to successful manifestation.

I saw an episode today where he was helping a woman who had many health problems that were causing her pain and alot of anxiety. Her nervous energy was causing aggressive behavior in her dog. Not only was he able to completely transform the dog, he helped the woman by introducing her to acupuncture and meditation. How awesome is that! And he greeted her with Namaste, confirming my suspicions that Ceasar is a very spiritual man.

It is so awesome to see someone who is in such complete alignment with Source energy and to see him use that energy to connect with another living creature. Dog lovers love to watch Ceasar work his magic and people are simply amazed at how instantly these dogs react to him. To me, he is a great example of what being in alignment with your Inner Being really is. I think its absolutely wonderful that he's helping more humans find that alignment and using their beloved pets, who are by nature more in alignment with Source energy, to help them get there.

What Is They Key To Successful Meditation

Wow, this last week was a rough one for me. I don't know about anyone else but for some reason, reaching for those good feeling thoughts became harder and harder. Most of it is just too personal to go into detail on the internet. Its just so difficult sometimes to stay happy and be OK with everything that's happening in your life when the people around you, the ones that you care about and want a good relationship with, are showing little regard for your feelings. The conflict becomes more complicated when these are people whom you must be interacting with because of the circumstances. When you don't have the freedom to escape an uncomfortable situation, those negative feelings of powerlessness, depression and desperation seem to just swallow you. Like getting caught in a whirlpool and being sucked in a downward spiral.

I've been trying lately to use meditation as a way to realign and connect with Source and those Non-Physical teachers and guides that are always there to help. But I just don't have it right yet. I know meditation is a powerful tool if you know how to use it. People can actually control things like their heart rate through meditation as well as healing themselves and this is an energy I really want to tap into.

My biggest problem with trying to meditate right now is that I guess I go too deep and fall asleep. I'll have to remember that the next time I get insomnia. But I'm trying to tune into something, not fall asleep!

So I guess this will require some more research on the subject besides just relaxing and breathing deeply. I really feel that meditation will greatly improve my Well-Being if I can learn to do it correctly. I would love and appreciate any help or suggestions on meditating.

Evolution of The Truth

As I study and learn more about the Law of Attraction and that we live in a vibrationally based Universe, it excites me when I watch shows on The Science Channel or National Geographic that deal with things like quantum physics and energy. Because the closer we get to understanding the truth, the more it seems to make sense that sometimes we must unlearn what we know in order to advance.

Throughout history, science and religion have butted heads in the ultimate struggle to understand and explain our world and the meaning of life. How did we get here? Why are we here, what is the meaning or purpose to all of this? And perhaps the biggest question of all, what happens to us after we die?

In the past and unfortunately, even now mainstream science and mainstream religion share the same distinct flaw. Their rigid, tunnel vision of stubbornly sticking to long held beliefs that everything is black or white. They both denounce the other as being a distraction from the truth. A serious minded scientist must dismiss the concept of God, of a higher power, an intelligent, conscious, loving energy source that deliberately creates in an eternal expansion. Religion has no room for science which continues to contradict the unquestioning faith that devout followers must uphold. Both have held their own resistance to new theories and ideas that actually delve into the gray area where the evolution of science and the concept of a higher power meet. The best scientists, in my opinion, are the ones that keep their minds open to all possibilities, including the ones that deal with the supernatural. Just within the last 100 years, there was much controversy over things like the existence of atoms, which today is simply a common fact that any middle school student would know. So what was once pseudo science, eventually becomes common, accepted knowledge. Often when major scientific discoveries are made, it changes and redefines everything we thought we knew about our world, about life, about reality. So therefore, reality is constantly changing as we know it. (Or as we think we know it.)

So, concepts like multiple universes, multiple dimensions, bending or folding the fabric of space and the concept that all matter is mostly empty space, help open our minds to allow more creative expressions of truth. To allow the concept of the improbable becoming probable. To allow the simplest theory, the credit it deserves, as Occam's razor suggests, even when that theory deals with the supernatural.

What Inspires Me

Its so nice to go someplace and get a dose of good, positive energy, to not only recharge yourself but to also bring your vibration back into alignment. Wherever you go to do this, the mountains, taking your dog to the park, going to church, a trip to the lake, walking along the beach, dinner with friends or just a quiet spot to watch the sunset, the location is irrelevant. What matters is how you feel while you're there. Do you come back feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, inspired? Do you come away with an intense appreciation for life? If the answer is yes, then this was time well spent.

Abraham uses the analogy of a river representing our fast paced lives. The current of life is always flowing, very fast, very strong. Its so easy to become overwhelmed by it, to panic at the velocity at which it sweeps you along. I find myself struggling to keep my head up, fearing that I'll be capsized, pulled under. The more overwhelmed I feel, the harder I start flailing, pushing against the current. As Abraham teaches, all too often, I find myself pointed upstream, fighting the current as I struggle through life with my disability. Now, with all that's going on with my personal life, I feel the fear and anxiety of not having enough money to survive and support my daughter and of having to rely so heavily on others just to get through my daily activities. As hard as it is, I know I have to let go of the negative emotions that I feel. Let go, be ok with where I am and slowly but surely turn downstream. So how do I do that?

I must stay focused on what I really want (freedom, independence, Well-Being, joy) and stop dwelling on what I don't want (poverty, paralysis, dependency). I need to stay connected to my Source (God). I need to see and appreciate Source in everything.

So here is a big thank you to the beautiful and inspirational people of last night's Tea Time with Mary. Thank you Rains and Desire for your words of inspiration and enthusiasm. And thank you Mary for sharing your beautiful inner light that we all find so infectious. You all helped me to boost my energy and raise my vibration. This inspired me to write this post, to hopefully pay it forward, to inspire.
