I just noticed something – a few weeks ago, I’m not sure when exactly, I stopped dreaming. And I don’t mean the dreams I have at night while I’m asleep. Those actually increased when I stopped dreaming during my waking time.
I’ve always had a pretty active fantasy life. And since I learned about the Law of Attraction a number of years ago, I have been even more intent on dreaming effectively.
What do I dream about? Oh, probably similar things to what you dream about: fun things to do, travel, a great marriage, happy friendships, and, of course, shopping. And maybe winning the “World’s Greatest Psychic” award.
But a few weeks ago, somewhere around Thanksgiving, I got distracted from dreaming and started being all–well, for lack of a better word, serious. There were many serious things I had to attend to, and I focused on them and not on my “silly fantasies.”
And do you know what happened? Nothing. I mean, nothing bad happened, but my life stopped moving forward. Things came to a standstill. Oh, sure, life went on, Thanksgiving was enjoyed, my daughter’s wedding was definitely wonderful, Christmas was a pretty good one, considering my daughter and her new husband were still on their honeymoon. But nothing new came along. In fact, things seemed to sort of–contract.
That’s it. Things contracted. They stopped expanding and growing and changing and morphing and creating. I stopped creating.
Fortunately, I discovered this problem after only a few weeks! I’ve started dreaming again, bigger than ever, and now the wheels are starting to turn forward again. I can feel it. And I can feel the world changing faster.
Have you stopped dreaming? How long has it been? Could that be the reason you’re not moving forward?
Next time you see that corny motivational poster that says, “Dare to dream”, do.

February–ah, the month of love! So I guess it’s appropriate for me to talk about loooove, isn’t it? Personally, I have not had a serious relationship in some time, and I am looking forward to finding my next one very soon. I think the Universe owes me, because I haven’t whined at all about not having a boyfriend! Okay, maybe a little bit. ;o)
But the point is that I don’t crave a relationship. And this is what I want to talk about. Just a little–don’t roll your eyes at me! Whether you are in a relationship or marriage right now or not, this is something that you need to know. And I have learned it over three marriages! Well, okay, the last one wasn’t a marriage, but I learned from it just the same.
I find this to be true for probably 80% to 90% of my clients, and it was true for me until a few years ago: Relationship problems–including the absence of a relationship–are always due to a lack of value for yourself. You have to value yourself, you have to get that knowing deep inside you that you are worthy of love, joy, and abundance.
It’s very common in our society to want to be in a relationship. And I believe that human beings are meant to be in loving pairs. But not having a relationship doesn’t make you less-than! And not being happy within one doesn’t either. It just means that you haven’t recognized your Divine Value yet. This will show up in a lot of ways that I don’t have the space to go into here, but suffice it to say that, if you will concentrate on loving yourself, valuing yourself, and believing in your worthiness, you will come out far better in the relationship game.
I channeled this message for my Club members not long ago, and I was so blown away by it that I felt you needed to see it too. This is the kind of message I channel for people in Mystic Mails, too. If you like it, you can get your own, and/or you might like to check out an entire book of such messages, Channel One: 137 Messages from the Universe.
Oh, our dear, we are excited for you and we are fighting for you. We are fighting for you to understand your duties here in this life. On this earth. You have a special tribute to pay to all that is, a special homage to yourself. Oh, you are not all that is and all that can be and all that has been? Indeed you are. This joyous day, we ask that you look inside yourself and look around you as well, and find that which makes your heart sing the loudest. Then, do everything you possibly can to do that today. Some part of it, some step toward it, something that will help your heart to sing today. Do not be worried about others, what they think, how they are doing it, what might make their hearts sing. Only concern others in your undertaking if you believe that they will benefit from what you are doing. That is all. It is simple, and we love you in all your glory!
The difference between something manifesting the hard way and something manifesting the easy way is the difference between desperation and relaxation.
Read that again. I’ll wait.
I’ve figured this one out: Even though you don’t need to worry about “the accursed hows”, if you don’t relax when you’re manifesting, those “hows” can turn out pretty rotten.
You know how all the gurus and LOA teachers, myself included, say not to worry about “how”? Just put your order for what you want in to the Universe and leave the “how” up to it. Right? I even posted a channeled message about this very topic recently. In that message, the angels/guides said to “let the Universe be your engineer, and you concentrate on being the designer.”
Which all makes perfect sense!
BUT… You know I always have a big but…!
I have noticed that, when I am desperate for something to be born or created or made manifest, I am likely to get it in a very difficult or unpleasant way.
Case in point: my move back to my hometown a couple of years ago. I had always wanted to move home, since I moved away to Austin in 1983, but always had some really compelling reason why I had to stay in Austin. Finally, in 2010, I was kicked out of Austin and sent packing by the Universe. Circumstances arose that forced me to move and move pretty fast. The move itself was utterly horrendous, and I don’t want to dwell on those details, but suffice it to say I came pretty close to a complete break-down. And the pain and suffering continued for months afterward.
Conclusion: I got what I wanted. I got to move home. But it was definitely “the hard way.”
Another example: My client was desperate to get out of her unhappy marriage. She prayed to get out of it somehow, some way, and she left the “how” up to the Universe. Well, one day, a gay woman walked into her life and they fell madly in love. But my client wasn’t actually gay; she was straight. There then ensued several years, yes, years, of on-and-off with the gay woman. They loved each other but both wanted the other to be something she just couldn’t be. And so that relationship ended, and badly. My client got what she wanted–out of the marriage. But it was unquestionably “the hard way.”
What’s the message here? When you are desperate for something to come through for you, you are likely to
a) wait a long time for it and
b) get it the hard way.
How do you get something “the easy way” instead? You still leave the “how” up to the Universe, but you have to relax about what you want.
Desperation brings “the hard way”.
Relaxation brings “the easy way”.
More to come on this. In the meantime, what do you think? What has your experience been with manifesting the easy way and the hard way? Please leave your comments below.
I’ve been having a personal crisis lately, because my daughter is moving overseas with her husband, who is a U.S. Marine. I am very proud of them, of course, and so glad that they will get to be together during this assignment, but it’s just killing me that they will be so far away for so long.
One day, I ran into an acquaintance whose son happens to be a Marine also. I mentioned that my daughter and her husband were leaving and said, “It’s just killing me.”
She replied, “Oh, because it’s all about YOU, isn’t it.” And she smiled, but it was the kind of smile that made me want to punch her in it.
Well, the truth is that MY life IS indeed all about me. And my daughter’s life is all about her. Why shouldn’t I be sad that my daughter is moving halfway around the world and I will miss her terribly? Why should it not make me sad that a grandchild could be born while they’re gone and I probably won’t be able to be there?
The truth is that YOUR life is all about YOU too. You were probably told at some time in your childhood that “The world doesn’t revolve around you” or “You aren’t the center of the universe.”
But in reality, it does. You are a creator, you create your own life, in tandem with the Creative Forces of the Universe. And everything that you have created is about you.
So how does that affect those around you, if their lives are about them? Well, we all provide messages and information and experiences for one another. It’s an intricate tapestry that is so brilliantly woven together that everything happens just as it should for each one of us.
And your life is all about you. So go ahead. Make it all about you. And punch that sanctimonious smile!
You may recall that I subscribe to emails from Dr. Robert Anthony, and I often find terrific insight in them. (See this post for another Dr. Anthony piece.) Today’s email was profound and very appropriate, so here it is for you to enjoy:
How often do you experience synchronicity? Webster’s says the
meaning of synchronicity is “to cause to operate with exact
coincidence in time or rate or to operate in unison.” At the higher
Levels of Awareness, you are more likely to experience people,
opportunities and all measure of material things flowing to you
almost as you think of them. These are synchronistic events.
Part of synchronicity is being in the right place at the right
time. Does that mean that you simply believe that you are in the
right place at the right time and then you are? To some degree,
yes, that’s true. But the opposite is also true. If you believe
that you are at the wrong place and time, you probably will
experience that as well! Since what you focus on expands, you can
create either experience as your reality. Which way do you want it
to be for you?
The more you believe in and affirm the unison of your highest and
best thoughts, feelings and desires the more you are likely to
experience life as a synchronistic adventure.
Be aware of skepticism as you read that last paragraph. There are
some people who look for everything as synchronicity and a sign of
positive meaning. “You like pizza and jazz, so do I! We must be
soul mates!” That is not the synchronicity I am talking about.
Although experiences of synchronicity can be small, like finding
just what you needed in the most unlikely place, they can also be
profound and sometimes overwhelming.
A man I know was concerned about his inability to contact his
father who was in Africa during a turbulent civil war. To distract
himself from his worry, the son went to a Grateful Dead concert
near Washington DC. In the middle of a huge crowd of vendors, the
son “accidentally” ran into someone who knew his father in Africa
and was able to reassure the son that his father was alive and well
in Africa! Now that is being in the right place at the right time!
Today, open your eyes, ears and heart to all the synchronistic
experiences that are happening around you that you may have never
noticed before or have taken for granted!
Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress – IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
As my father-in-law lay dying a number of years ago, I went to visit him in the hospital. We had always been close, and were probably closer since my husband’s death several years before. I knew I was going to miss him terribly (and I was certainly right about that).
Cancer had dug its way into Dad’s brain, and he suffered some rages and fits, but I was fortunate to see him only at times when he was lucid. When I walked into his hospital room, I introduced myself to be sure he knew who I was. “Dad? Hi, it’s Suzi. Do you know who I am?”
“Yes,” he croaked, as there was a tumor pressing on the nerve to his vocal folds. “You’re Suzi. Of course, I know you.”
I sat with him a few minutes and then I asked, “Have you seen Tim [my late husband, and his late son]?”
I don’t know why I was surprised to hear him rasp, “Yes.” He went on to say, “He came and sat in that chair right there. He told me everything would be all right and I should just do what I want to do.”
Even though that was the answer I had hoped for–or something like it–I was stunned for a moment. I knew Tim was nearby at that moment, with Dad and me in the hospital room, waiting to help and support Dad’s transition.
My father-in-law has been gone 10 years this month. I dedicate this post to him, and I am grateful he has love and peace–and Tim–on the Other Side.
Just had a call from a long-time client, Jill. Well, actually, I haven’t read for her in years, but she had something important to tell me.
Back in 2006, I held a Home Event at my own house. I had about 25 people in attendance, and I turned my living room into an auditorium, where I regaled people with Spirit Communication for about three hours.
Jill was in the audience and her reading was very interesting. We had a lot of her late loved ones come through and there was information about her family names, and I remember a story about her grandfather stomping around on the roof on Christmas Eve, pretending there were reindeer up there. Another guest had a similar story, and it turned out they were actually related! So that was pretty cool.
But what Jill called to tell me, and what I didn’t remember, was this: I told her that either her maternal grandmother or maternal grandfather had died after hitting her/his head in the bathroom. Jill didn’t recognize this incident, and no one in her family could corroborate the story later. As usual, I told her at the time to remember this information because it would eventually be useful.
Fast-forward about six years… Jill called me to say that she was having dinner with some co-workers the night before, and her boss suddenly asked if any of them had ever been to a medium.
Jill said, “Yes, I have! I have a friend who is a medium.” And she proceeded to tell them the story of the Home Event at my house. She added, “The only thing that never fit was what she said about one of my mother’s parents hitting their head and dying in the bathroom.”
Jill’s boss turned white as a sheet. “Jill. Your mother died in the bathroom.”
Jill had never made the connection. Her mother died in 2010, four years after the reading I gave her, of a heart attack. She was found in the bathtub and had hit her head when she fell.
I was so glad that I didn’t recognize that scenario as a premonition and instead thought it to be a past event. But then it became so significant to Jill. And to me. I had the strong feeling that her mother had set the entire thing up so that Jill could understand that her mother’s death happened as it was meant to happen.
I love to find answers to some of life’s biggest questions. I’m always looking and listening for them, so it’s very satisfying to find them!
This time, it’s about what happens in your life, the experiences and relationships you attract and create as you go through your life.
It’s been said (quite often) that everything happens for a reason, and you may know that I always say, “Everything happens not for A reason, but for many reasons.”
And my corollary to that is, you may not ever know all the reasons for something, but they are there.
You may also know that I talk about there being messages contained in everything we experience–what happens in a day, what we overhear, thoughts in our heads, songs on the radio, and especially in synchronistic occurrences. Our lives are about getting these messages and putting them to good use, finding out what makes us happy (and what makes us unhappy) and how to bring more of those happy times to us.
Well, I got a little more insight into that the other day.
I was talking with a client whose husband passed away about 5 years ago. My own husband has been gone 17 years, and I always knew that there would be some way I would wind up helping someone because of that. (There are many other reasons and “good” things to come out of my husband’s death, but we’ll save that for another time.)
My client is a relationship coach and she developed a program to help her clients find love after loss. So she used her experience to help other people, right? And now, she is divorcing her second husband, which I also did. Because my experience came first, I am able to help her with hers.
Here’s another example. How many people have you known who survived cancer and claim that the experience changed their lives forever? (For better or worse.) How many of them helped someone else in a similar situation, or became a doctor or other healer because of it, invented something to help cancer patients, volunteered for Hospice, inspired others, and on and on?
The late comic Ron Shock produced a series of videos from his cancer diagnosis to the end of his life, talking about his situation and sharing stories from his life in comedy. (He was a very funny guy and I recommend looking up his “Cancer Chronicles” on You Tube.)
In one of his stories, Ron talked about his oncologist, whose wife got cancer during Ron’s treatment. What are the odds? That someone in a cancer doctor’s own family would get cancer? Did that doctor lose someone he loved to cancer when he was growing up? Was his father (or mother) a doctor? Did he just feel the calling?
Do you see where I’m going with this? Your life is all about you first. Become self-aware, and you will be other-aware. Help yourself and you can help others. Get the message for yourself, then help someone else in need of getting that same message.
Happy Helping!
