Stuck
in Step One Energy?We know Abraham's three steps to manifesting: 1) we ask, 2) Universe
delivers, 3) we allow it in. That's the short and simple process of
getting what we want.
It's the third step that most people struggle with and thus focus on.
"How can I better create vibrational alignment?" or "What's the secret to
allowing?" are the questions that often come my way.
Which is what I address in these ezines.
But it's possible our best answer lies in better managing Step One. Let's
look at it:
Step One is experiencing a new desire because of "something gone awry"
in life. Whether it's:
... we can't help but have new desires. It's the nature of being human -
we don't ever have to "strive" to want something new. It happens
automatically just by living out life.
It's when we get STUCK in that desire/asking phase that we're at
cross-purposes of allowing the manifestation into our lives.
What does it mean to be stuck in Step One? Focusing on the problem, paying
attention to what's gone "wrong," and justifying your reasons for needing it
to change are signs you are swirling in Step One.
And in that place, there is no allowing.
So the trick becomes acknowledging a new desire while not getting caught up
in the absence of it, right? To want it without being frustrated that
it's not here yet.
Easier said than done?
Might seem like it, but our manifesting success requires we master this, so
let's make it easy on ourselves by not telling the "hard to do" story.
Abraham offered these succinct words as a way to hold a desire and feel good at the same time:
"I want it. I got it. It's coming. I know it." That's how they describe untainted step one energy. It's pure desire; no yearning or doubt involved. No justifying why you want it, no complaining about not having it. You keep your vibe "fresh and light and free and friskie."
That'll ensure you don't get stuck in Step One.
But some clients struggle with figuring out how to have a desire and
not feel angst about not having it. After all, they argue,
how are they supposed to want a soul mate and be happily single at the same
time? Or how are they supposed to want financial abundance and feel
good about a zero balance account?
Some believe that by getting happy with where they're at now they actually
prevent their desires from manifesting. Like, "If I enjoy this free
time I have while unemployed, I won't be able to manifest a new job. Instead
I'll just manifest more free time, which is NOT what I want."
That tendency to push against "what is," and believing that that resistance
actually moves you toward your desired outcome is common, and yet
faulty, logic.
By pushing against "what is" (which I do if I need something to change
before I feel better) then I'm just stuck in Step One and am not creating
the vibrational alignment that lets the thing I want into my world.
By finding a way to feel good now, or a reason to appreciate what's present,
I release myself from Step One energy and move that much
closer to dreams come true.
Consider this your official invitation to release the "asking" energy and join me in the blissful space of "life is good now." You'll find lots of magic happening in your life once you do!
