What I learned in my writing workshop last week.

The workshop I took last week was probably the best I’ve ever had. Yes it was about writing and the teacher is just amazing.

But as I have had time to process the experience, I found that the reason it excelled had nothing really to do with writing.

Huh?

Let me explain. This was a total of 17 1/2 hours of learning. Being that I’m 77 years old, you can imagine I’ve been exposed to a lot of learning experiences.

For me they are usually associated with tremendous anxiety and I’m constantly wary of having to speak up or tell about “how things went”, answer questions, or take tests of some sort. The worst ones are those with practical exercises that everyone has to participate in.

I learn very little in those courses and I just sit and sweat (figuratively and sometimes literally) watching the minutes and hours tick by until it’s over.

I had none of that last week.

Why?

Because the teacher gave us freedom. She said we could do the exercises – and there were several- then or at another time. She would even say at the beginning of the next one that we could continue to work on the previous one.

At the end of the day she gave us suggested assignments but didn’t require us to turn them in or report on them if we didn’t want to.

There was plenty of opportunity to speak up about what we did or ask questions.

I felt great the entire week and it was – as I realized later- because I had the freedom to be me. My creativity was through the roof and my retention was unbelievable. All because I didn’t have to perform.

Performance is such an intense pressure on people and yet we don’t even realize it anymore because it’s usually pressure on the teacher AND the student. When one feels the need to perform, it’s transferred on to the student.

Then everyone has anxiety and I’ve talked many times about the effects of anxiety on the brain. That the functioning of the frontal lobe is diminished. With the anxiety response the flight or freeze response is triggered and with anger the fight response is.

When the frontal lobe doesn’t work, learning is essentially cut off. Isn’t it interesting that the thing that is intended to promote learning actually hinders it. What a shame.

How can you take this fact and my experience and apply it to your everyday personal and professional life?

Just think about it- nowadays even asking how are you had a hidden agenda and is performance based. When asked that, you know that the other person is just being polite and most of the time doesn’t really care how you’re doing.

What things do you say to your kids, your spouse or your friends that expect some sort of response that once dissected may actually be performance based.

Take some time to examine your language AND consider asking the person you’re talking to how they feel when asked certain things.

Let’s manifest a fantastic week.

Here’s another quote by Abraham-hicks:

“Everything that you experience is a reflection of your vibration.

It’s all about vibration, and what I find people doing, including me sometimes, is that they figure out what they desire and set it down with all the specifics and they are good to go.

Then they make their affirmation or declaration and sit back and wait…..

And wait but not for long. Pretty soon they look and see that it hasn’t arrived and they’re wondering where their universal Amazon driver is.

“What’s taking so long? what did I do wrong? Maybe it wasn’t the right desire or I didn’t do it the right way. Or just maybe it doesn’t work because I KNOW I did it right.”

So they either give up or they go thru the process again.

Whats wrong here?

They have determined that such and such has to arrive by this specific time. Again it’s as if they know what’s right and what isn’t. They don’t leave that up to the universe.

They have also lowered their vibrations – their attraction power – by “worrying” it to death. “Where is it? Why isn’t it here?” These are negative vibrations. So once again they have been outlining.

I have two examples if I can get them in.

Back in 2013 or so a friend had fallen in love and they were looking for a house. They found the best one ever but at that point either they couldn’t afford it or it wasn’t available- -I don’t remember which. I worked with him about manifesting it. Jump ahead a couple of years and he’s giving me a hard time about “this stuff doesn’t work”.

I let him know that it does work by emphasizing that he and the woman had broken up thank goodness since she was horrible to and for him.

Had they gotten the house he would have felt obligated to stay with her or would have had a heavy debt for the house alone.

The universe knew what was coming even if he didn’t.

That’s not to suggest that any delay in getting your desire means something bad is going to happen. Just trust the universe’s timing.

The other example involves me. My brother was estranged from the family for almost 36 years.

I read The attractor factor by Joe vitale

One of the exercises in it had us write out a declaration. I wrote something about my brother coming back into my life. And I let it go since that hadn’t happened for all those years.

A few days later I got a call at work. When I answered the voice said “hey this is your brother”. I knew immediately who it was so this was not a goose bumps moment. It was a guy I worked with who said he’d adopt me and be my big brother. We’d had that going for several years.

But it scared me. I wondered if I had written “my brother will contact me”. If so, he sort of had. But not the brother I wanted. If I wrote that I hadn’t been specific enough.

I couldn’t wait to get home to find out what I wrote. Whew I had written my real brothers name.

Here’s the real goose bump moment. Within 2 weeks I got an email and in the subject line was “your brother” and it was from my real biological brother.

The lesson there is to be specific and then to let it go.

Here’s the quote again:

“Everything that you experience is a reflection of your vibration.”

Keep your vibrations high – in every realm of your life, not just the one you’re trying for.

Happy Halloween to the best group of ghosts and goblins I know

Today I want to talk about something that will make your declarations, affirmations or manifestations even better. If you’re not a believer that’s ok because you can use this easygoing phrase in your everyday life.

What is it? It’s this. Tack on to every wish or desire “This or something better”

For example with my search for a car last year I declared that I wanted a van that had certain characteristics which I defined but you don’t need to hear and added “this or something better”. I was going into that search think I was going to pay an exorbitant amount to get a new van. But adding the “this or something better” brought to me the used vehicle that is absolutely perfect for me.

When you decide how to get whatever it is you’re after, you stop the creative power of the universe. I talked about that last weekend when we talked about Karin’s play. We are minions and have no idea of the resources at the hand of the universe. So why cut off the supply by determining how your desire is to be delivered. Let the master figure it out. Your job is just to decide what you’re after. This is a spinoff of Dr Gilbert talking about what you really want. The more you really want something in any realm the more likely the universe is to bring it.

For instance Aaron’s declaring – or he better be- that his employees are loyal, dedicated, motivated to work for him and are filled with integrity. I know it sounds weird but he should add on “this or something better” and see what happens

Karin can affirm that she raises enough money to pay for all her needs to get the Dust of Egypt produced and in front of powerful critics, adding “This or something better.” Even if you can’t imagine what something better is. You don’t have to. The universe knows

Speaking of words and things we say I had two things said to me in the last two days that were significant.

One woman said she did a lot of journaling about the relationship between her mind and her body. She said that it was an eye opener. That’s the eye as a part of communication as well as referencing the third eye and Intuition. Pretty telling.

The other person said their doctor told them it was inflammation causing her grief. Just a normal expression, right? No. She has been experiencing grief on several levels so this too was a perfect association. It is revealing to listen to yourself talk in addition to asking others to listen and bring up phrases that could have a deeper meaning

Be safe out there trick or treating and remember to set your clocks back on Saturday.
